Acts 21:1-11 ▼

1 AND tearing ourselves away from them, when we had set sail, we came in a direct course to Coos, and the day after to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara.

2 And finding a ship passing over to Phenice, we went on board and set sail:

3 and coming in sight of Cyprus, and leaving it on the left, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to discharge her cargo.

4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: and they said to Paul, by the Spirit, that he should not go up unto Jerusalem.

5 But when we had stayed out those days, we departed, and went on our journey, all of them attending us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the sea shore, we joined in prayer;

6 and embracing one another, we went on ship-board, and they returned to their own homes,

7 So completing our voyage, we arrived from Tyre at Ptolemais, and saluting the brethren, tarried with them one day.

8 And on the morrow we who were Paul's companions departed with him, and went to Cæsarea; and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist (who was one of the seven deacons), we abode with him.

9 Now this man had four maiden daughters endued with the gift of prophecy.

10 And as we tarried there several days, there came down a certain prophet from Judea named Agabus.

11 And coming to us, he took Paul's girdle, and binding both his own hands and feet together, said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, The man, whose girdle this is, shall the Jews bind in like manner at Jerusalem, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
