< Acts 21 >
1 After then it happened sailing our having drawn away from them, having run directly we came to Cos, and the next [day] to Rhodes, and from there and from there to Patara.
2 And having found a boat passing over into Phoenicia having gone on board we set sail.
3 (Having sighted *NK+o) then Cyprus and having left it on the left we were sailing to Syria and (we disembarked *N+kO) at Tyre; There for the ship was unloading the cargo.
4 (and *k) Having sought out (then *no) the disciples we remained there days seven, who to Paul were telling through the Spirit not (to go up *N+kO) to Jerusalem.
5 When then it happened that we [were] completing the days, having set out we were journeying while are accompanying us everyone with wives and children as far as outside the city, And having bowed the knees on the shore (having prayed *N+kO)
6 (we greeted *N+kO) one another and (we went up *N+k+o) into the boat, they then returned to [their] own.
7 We ourselves then the voyage having completed from Tyre came down to Ptolemais, and having greeted the brothers we stayed day one with them.
8 On the now next day having gone forth (those with Paul *K) (we came *NK+O) to Caesarea, and having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist (who *k) is being of the seven we stayed with him.
9 With this [man] now there were daughters four virgins prophesying.
10 Remaining now (of us *K) days many came down a certain one from Judea a prophet named Agabus,
11 and having come to us and having taken the belt of Paul, having bound (both *k) (of himself *N+kO) the feet and the hands he said; Thus says the Spirit Holy; The man of whom is belt this, in this way will bind in Jerusalem the Jews and will deliver [him] into [the] hands of [the] Gentiles.
12 When then we had heard these things, were begging we ourselves both and those of that place not to go up him to Jerusalem.
13 (Then *N+kO) answered Paul; What are you doing weeping and breaking my heart? I myself for not only to be bound but also to die at Jerusalem readiness have for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 Not is being persuaded then he we were silent having said; Of the Lord the will (should be [done]. *N+kO)
15 After now days these having packed the baggage we were ascending to Jerusalem.
16 Went then also [some] of the disciples from Caesarea with us, bringing [one] with whom we may lodge, Mnason a certain Cypriot, an early disciple.
17 Having arrived now we at Jerusalem gladly (received *N+kO) us the brothers.
18 On the now following [day] was going in Paul with us unto James, all and arrived the elders.
19 And having greeted them he was relating by one each of the things did God among the Gentiles through the ministry of him.
20 Those then having heard were glorifying (God, *N+KO) (They said *NK+o) then to him; You see brother, how many myriads there are (among the *NO) (Jews *N+kO) who having believed and all zealous ones for the law are.
21 They have been informed now about you that apostasy you teach from Moses those among the Gentiles all Jews telling not to circumcise them the children nor in the customs to walk.
22 What then is it? Certainly (should multitude to assemble *K) they will hear (for *k) that you have come.
23 This therefore do you what to you we say; There are with us men four a vow having (on *NK+o) themselves;
24 These [men] having taken do be purified with them and do bear expense for them so that (they will shave *N+kO) the head, and (will know *N+kO) all that of which they have been informed about you no [thing] is, but you walk orderly also yourself keeping the law.
25 Concerning now those having believed of the Gentiles we ourselves (wrote to *NK+O) having adjudged (nothing such to keep them only except *K) to keep from them the both idol-sacrifices and blood and what is strangled and sexual immorality.
26 Then Paul having taken the men on the following day with them having been purified was entering into the temple declaring the fulfillment of the days of the purification until that was offered for one each of them the sacrifice.
27 When now were about the seven days to be completed, the from Asia Jews having seen him in the temple were stirring up all the crowd and laid upon him hands
28 crying out; Men Israelites, do help. This is the man who against the people and the law and place this all those (everywhere *N+kO) teaching, besides and also Greeks he has brought into the temple and has defiled holy place this.
29 It was they for (having foreseen *NK+o) Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they were supposing that into the temple had brought Paul.
30 Was thrown into commotion also the city whole and there was a rushing together of the people, And having laid hold of Paul they were dragging him outside the temple; and immediately were shut the doors.
31 Of them seeking (then *N+kO) him to kill there came a report to the commander of the cohort that all (are in an uproar *N+kO) Jerusalem;
32 who at once having taken with [him] soldiers and centurions ran down upon them. And having seen the commander and the soldiers they stopped beating Paul.
33 (Then *NK+o) having drawn near the commander laid hold of him and he commanded [him] to be bound with chains two and he was inquiring who (maybe *k) he would be and what it is he having done.
34 Others however another [or] one thing (were crying out *N+kO) in the crowd. Not (is being able *N+kO) now (he *no) to know the facts on account of the uproar he ordered to be brought him into the barracks.
35 When now he came to the stairs, it happened that being carried he by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36 Were following for the multitude of the people (crying out; *N+kO) Away with him.
37 Being about then to be brought into the barracks Paul says to the commander; If is it permitted to me to say something to you? Then he was saying; Greek do you know?
38 Surely then you yourself are the Egyptian before these the days having led a revolt and having led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?
39 Said however Paul; I myself a man indeed am a Jew of Tarsus of Cilicia not [of an] insignificant city a citizen, I implore however you; do allow me to speak to the people.
40 When was permitting then he Paul having stood on the stairs made a sign with the hand to the people, great then silence having taken place (he addressed [them] *NK+o) in the Hebrew language saying:
