1 And it came to pass that after we had left them and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from there unto Patara; 2 and finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard and set forth. 3 Now when we had sighted Cyprus, we left it on the left hand and sailed into Syria and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload her cargo. 4 And finding the disciples, we tarried there seven days, who said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem. 5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, until we were out of the city; and we knelt down on the shore and prayed. 6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we embarked on the ship, and they returned home again.
7 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais and saluted the brethren and abode with them one day. 8 And the next day Paul and those of us that were with him departed and came unto Caesarea; and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and abode with him. 9 And he had four daughters, virgins, who prophesied. 10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus. 11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle and bound his own hands and feet and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owns this girdle and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. 12 And when we heard these things, both we and those of that place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. 14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, Let the will of the Lord be done.
15 And after those days we packed our baggage and went up to Jerusalem. 16 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
