1 And when it came to pass to launch us, after being drawn away from them, after going a straight course, we came to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 And having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, having gotton on, we launched.
3 And having sighted Cyprus, and having left it behind on the left side, we sailed to Syria and came down to Tyre, for there the ship was unloading the merchandise.
4 And having found disciples (we remained there seven days) who said to Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.
5 And when it came to pass for us to finish the days, having gone forth, we were departing, all accompanying us, with women and children, as far as outside the city. And having knelt on the beach we prayed.
6 And having bid farewell to each other, we went up in the ship, and those men returned to their own things.
7 And when we finished the voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais. And having greeted the brothers, we remained with them one day.
8 And on the morrow, after going forth, those around Paul came to Caesarea. And having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, being of the seven, we dwelt with him.
9 Now four virgin daughters who prophesied were with this man.
10 And as we remained more days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11 And having come to us, and having taken Paul's belt, having bound both his feet and hands, he said, The Holy Spirit says these things: Thus the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man whose belt this is, and will deliver him into the h
12 And when we heard these things, both we and those local men urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 And Paul answered, What are ye doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I fare ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 And since he was not persuaded, we were quiet, having said, May the will of the Lord happen.
15 And after these days, having made preparation, we went up to Jerusalem.
16 And also the disciples from Caesarea went together with us, bringing a certain Mnason, a Cypriot, an old disciple with whom we would lodge.
17 And when we came to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18 And on the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.
19 And having greeted them, he reported one by one what God did among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 And when the men heard, they glorified God, having said to him, Thou see, brother, how many thousands there are of the Jews who have believed, and they are all zealots of the law.
21 And they were informed about thee, that thou teach all the Jews throughout the nations desertion from Moses, telling them not to circumcise the children nor to walk by the customs.
22 What is it therefore? Certainly the multitude needs to get together, for they will hear that thou have come.
23 Therefore do this that we say to thee. Four men are with us who have a vow on themselves.
24 Having taken these, be purified with them. And pay expenses for them, so that they may shave the head. And all may know, that things of which they have been informed about thee, are nothing, but thou thyself also walk orderly, keep
25 And about the Gentiles who have believed, we sent word, having decided for them to keep no such thing, except for them to guard against what is sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication.
26 Then Paul, having taken the men on the following day, having been purified with them, entered into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for each one of them.
27 And when the seven days were about to be completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people and threw hands on him,
28 crying out, Men, Israelites, help. This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. And besides he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place.
29 For they were men who saw Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul brought into the temple.
30 And the whole city was moved, and there developed a running together of the people. And having taken Paul they dragged him out of the temple, and straightaway the doors were shut.
31 And while seeking to kill him, a report went up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem has been stirred up.
32 And immediately after taking soldiers and centurions, he ran down to them. And they, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
33 And the chief captain having come near, he seized him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains. And he inquired whoever he may be, and what it is he has been doing.
34 And some among the crowd shouted out one thing, some another. And not being able to know the certainty because of the uproar, he commanded him to be carried into the fort.
35 And it came to pass when on the steps (it happened for him to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd,
36 for the mass of the people followed, crying out, Away with him),
37 and as Paul was going to be brought into the fort, he says to the chief captain, Is it permitted for me to speak to thee? And he said, Thou know Greek?
38 Then thou are not the Egyptian who revolted before these days, and who led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?
39 But Paul said, I am really a Jewish man of Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. And I beg thee, allow me to speak to the people.
40 And having permitted him, Paul, having stood on the steps, motioned his hand to the people. And when a great hush developed, he called out in the Hebrew language, saying,
1 And it chaunsed that assone as we had launched forth and were departed from them we came with a strayght course vnto Choon and the daye folowinge vnto the Rhodes and from thence vnto Patara.
2 And we founde a shippe redy to sayle vnto Phenices and went a borde and set forthe.
3 Then appered vnto vs Cyprus and we lefte it on the lefte honde and sayled vnto Syria and came vnto Tyre. For there the shyppe vnladed her burthen.
4 And when we had founde brethren we taryed there .vii. dayes. And they tolde Paul thorowe ye sprete that he shuld not goo vp to Ierusalem.
5 And when the dayes were ended we departed and went oure wayes and they all brought vs on oure waye wt their wyves and chyldren tyll we were come out of the cyte. And we kneled doune in the shore and prayde.
6 And when we had taken oure leave one of another we toke shyppe and they returned home agayne.
7 When we had full ended the course fro Tyre we aryved at Ptolomaida and saluted the brethren and abode with the one daye.
8 The nexte daye we that were of Pauls copany departed and came vnto Cesarea. And we entred into the housse of Philip ye Evagelist which was one of the seve deacones and abode with him.
9 The same man had fower doughters virges which dyd prophesy.
10 And as we taried there a good many dayes there came a certayne prophete from Iurie named Agabus.
11 When he was come vnto vs he toke Pauls gerdell and bounde his hondes and fete and sayde: thus saith the holy goost: so shall ye Iewes at Ierusalem bynde the man yt oweth this gerdell and shall delyver him into the hondes of the gentyls.
12 When we hearde this both we and other of the same place besought him that he wolde not goo vp to Ierusalem.
13 Then Paul answered and sayde: what do ye wepynge and breakinge myne hert? I am redy not to be bound only but also to dye at Ierusalem for ye name of ye Lorde Iesu.
14 When we coulde not turne his mynde we ceased sayinge: the will of ye Lorde be fulfilled.
15 After those dayes we made oure selfes redy and went vp to Ierusalem.
16 There went with vs also certayne of his disciples of Cesarea and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus an olde disciple with whom we shuld lodge.
17 And when we were come to Ierusalem the brethren receaved vs gladly.
18 And on the morowe Paul wet in with vs vnto Iames. And all the elders came to geder.
19 And when he had saluted them he tolde by order all thinges that God had wrought amoge the getyls by his ministracion.
20 And when they hearde it they glorified the Lorde and sayde vnto him: thou seist brother how many thousande Iewes ther are which beleve and they are all zelous over ye lawe.
21 And they are informed of the that thou teachest all the Iewes which are amoge the gentyls to forsake Moses and sayst that they ought not to circumcise their chyldren nether to live after the customes.
22 What is it therfore? The multitude must nedes come togeder. For they shall heare that thou arte come.
23 Do therfore this that we saye to the. We have .iiii. men which have a vowe on them.
24 Them take and purifye thy selfe with them and do cost on them that they maye shave their heeddes and all shall knowe yt tho thinges which they have hearde concerninge the are nothinge: but that thou thy selfe also walkest and kepest the lawe.
25 For as touchinge the gentyls which beleve we have written and concluded yt they observe no soche thinges: but that they kepe them selves from thinges offred to ydoles from bloud fro strangled and fro fornicacion.
26 Then the nexte daye Paul toke the men and purified him selfe with them and entred into the teple declaringe that he observed the dayes of ye purificacio vntyll that an offeringe shuld be offred for every one of them.
27 And as the seven dayes shuld have bene ended ye Iewes which were of Asia when they sawe him in the teple they moved all the people and layde hondes on him
28 cryinge: men of Israel helpe. This is the man that teacheth all men every where agaynst the people and the lawe and this place. Moreover also he hath brought Grekes into the teple and hath polluted this holy place.
29 For they sawe one Trophimus an Ephesian with him in the cyte. Him they supposed Paul had brought into the teple.
30 And all the cyte was moved and the people swarmed to geder. And they toke Paul and drue him out of the teple and forthwith the dores were shut to.
31 As they went about to kyll him tydinges came vnto the hye captayne of the soudiers that all Ierusalem was moved.
32 Which immediatly toke soudiers and vndercaptaynes and ranne doune vnto them. When they sawe ye vpper captayne and the soudiers they lefte smytinge of Paul.
33 Then the captayne came neare and toke him and comaunded him to be bounde with two chaynes and demaunded what he was and what he had done.
34 And one cryed this another that amoge the people. And whe he coulde not knowe the certayntie for ye rage he comaunded him to be caryed into the castle.
35 And whe he came vnto a grece it fortuned that he was borne of the soudiers of the violence of the people.
36 For the multitude of the people folowed after cryinge: awaye wt him.
37 And as Paul shuld have bene caryed into the castle he sayde vnto the hye Captayne: maye I speake vnto the? Which sayde: canst thou speake Greke?
38 Arte not thou that Egypcian which before these dayes made an vproure and ledde out into the wildernes .iiii. thousande men that were mortherers?
39 But Paul sayde: I am a ma which am a Iewe of Tharsus a cite in Cicill a Citesyn of no vyle cite I beseche ye soffre me to speake vnto ye people.
40 When he had geve him licece Paul stode on ye steppes and beckned with the honde vuto the people and ther was made a greate silence. And he spake vnto the in ye Ebrue tonge sayinge:
