Acts Of The Apostles – Acts Chapter 13

Acts Of The Apostles – Acts Chapter 13

  1. Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the Tetrarch, and Saul.
  2. As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
  3. And when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
  4. So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia, and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
  5. And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.
  6. And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:
  7. Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
  8. But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
  9. Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him.
  10. And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
  11. And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness, and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
  12. Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
  13. Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
  14. But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
  15. And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
  16. Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
  17. The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm brought them out of it.
  18. And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
  19. And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
  20. And after that, he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
  21. And afterward, they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
  22. And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfill all my will.
  23. Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
  24. When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
  25. And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet 1 am not worthy to lose.
  26. Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
  27. For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
  28. And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
  29. And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a sepulcher.
  30. But God raised him from the dead
  31. And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
  32. And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
  33. God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
  34. And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
  35. Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
  36. For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
  37. But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption
  38. Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
  39. And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses
  40. Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
  41. Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
  42. And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
  43. Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
  44. And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
  45. But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
  46. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles
  47. For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
  48. And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed
  49. And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
  50. But the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and the chief men of the city raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
  51. But they shook off the dust of their feet against them and came unto Iconium.
  52. And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost.

  3. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)

  10. When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street, and forthwith the angel departed from him.

Acts Of The Apostles – Acts Chapter 27

Acts Of The Apostles – Acts Chapter 27

  1. And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band.
  2. And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
  3. And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
  4. And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
  5. And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
  6. And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, and he put us therein.
  7. And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
  8. And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
  9. Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
  10. And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship but also of our lives.
  11. Nevertheless, the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
  12. And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is a haven of Crete, and lieth toward the southwest and northwest.
  13. And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
  14. But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon
  15. And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
  16. And running under a certain island called Clauda, we had much work to come by boat:
  17. Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
  18. And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
  19. And on the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
  20. And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
  21. But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
  22. And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship.
  23. For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
  24. Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
  25. Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
  26. Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
  27. But when the fourteenth night came, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
  28. And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
  29. Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern and wished for the day.
  30. And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship when they had let down the boat into the sea, under color as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,
  31. Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
  32. Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
  33. And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
  34. Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not a hair fall from the head of any of you.
  35. And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
  36. Then were they all in good cheer, and they also took some meat
  37. And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
  38. And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship and cast out the wheat into the sea.
  39. And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
  40. And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
  41. And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves
  42. And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
  43. But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
  44. And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.

  3. Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
  4. My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
  5. Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion, I lived a Pharisee.
  6. And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, unto our fathers:
  7. Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope’s sake, King Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews
  8. Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
  9. verily thought with myself, that 1 ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth
  10. Which thing 1 also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.
  11. And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.
  12. Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
  13. At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
  14. And when we were all fallen to the earth, 1 heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutes! thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks
  15. And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
  16. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for 1 have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
  17. Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
  18. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
  19. Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
  20. But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
  21. For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple and went about to kill me.
  22. Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
  23. That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
  24. And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
  25. But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
  26. For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a comer.
  27. King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
  28. Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
  29. And Paul said, 1 would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
  30. And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with themselves
  31. And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
  32. Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty if he had not appealed unto Caesar

Acts Of The Apostles – Acts Chapter 25

  1. Now when Festus came into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
  2. Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,
  3. And desired favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
  4. But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
  5. Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down, with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
  6. And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.
  7. And when he came, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove
  8. While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple nor yet against Caesar, have I offended anything at all.
  9. But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
  10. Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well know
  11. For if I am an offender, or have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. 1 appeal unto Caesar.
  12. Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go
  13. And after certain days King Agrippa and Bernice, came unto Caesarea to salute Festus.
  14. And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul’s cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:

  1. And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
  2. And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
  3. Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
  4. And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God’s high priest?
  5. Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
  6.  But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
  7. And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
  8. For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
  9. And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
  10. And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
  11. And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
  12. And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul
  13. And there were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
  14. And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
  15. Now, therefore, ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he comes near, are ready to kill him.
  16. And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered the castle, and told Paul.
  17. Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
  18. So he took him and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul, the prisoner called me unto him and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
  19. Then the chief captain took him by the hand, went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?
  20. And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
  21. But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
  22. So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast showed these things to me.
  23. And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
  24. And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
  25. And he wrote a letter after this manner:
  26. Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting
  27. This man was taken of the Jews and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman
  28. And when 1 would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
  29. Whom I perceived to be accused of Questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
  30. And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, 1 sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
  31. Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
  32. On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
  33. Who, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him
  34. And when the governor had read the letter, he asked what province he was in. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;

Acts Of The Apostles – Acts Chapter 22

  1. Men, brethren, and fathers hear ye my defense which I make now unto you.
  2. (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)
  3.  I am verily a man which is a jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day
  4. And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
  5. As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
  6. And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
  7. And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
  8. And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
  9. And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid, but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
  10. And I said, What shall1 do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee ofall things which are appointed for thee to do.
  11. And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
  12. And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,
  13. Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up at him.
  14. And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth
  15. For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
  16. And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
  17. And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
  18. And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
  19. And I said, Lord, they know that 1 imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
  20. And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.
  21. And he said unto me, Depart: for 1 will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles
  22. And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
  23. And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,
  24. The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
  25. And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
  26. When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
  27. Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
  28. And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free bom
  29. Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
  30. On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.

  1. And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
  2. And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard and set forth.
  3. Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
  4. And finding 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 went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
  6. And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took 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 we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
  9. And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
  10. And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
  11. And when he came unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
  12. And when we heard these things, both we and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
  13. Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem in the name of the Lord Jesus.
  14. And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
  15. And after those days we took up our carriages 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.
  17. And when we came to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
  18. And the day following Paul went in with us unto James, and all the elders were present.
  19. And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
  20. And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
  21. And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
  22. What is it, therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
  23. Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
  24. Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
  25. As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
  26. Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
  27. And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
  28. Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
  29. (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
  30. And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut
  31. And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
  32. Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.

  34. And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
  35. And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.

  39. But Paul said, 1 am a man which is a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.
