Viaje de Pablo a Jerusalén

21 Después de separarnos de ellos, zarpamos y fuimos con rumbo directo a Cos, y al día siguiente a Rodas, y de allí a Pátara. 2 Y hallando un barco que pasaba a Fenicia, nos embarcamos, y zarpamos. 3 Al avistar Chipre, dejándola a mano izquierda, navegamos a Siria, y arribamos a Tiro, porque el barco había de descargar allí. 4 Y hallados los discípulos, nos quedamos allí siete días; y ellos decían a Pablo por el Espíritu, que no subiese a Jerusalén. 5 Cumplidos aquellos días, salimos, acompañándonos todos, con sus mujeres e hijos, hasta fuera de la ciudad; y puestos de rodillas en la playa, oramos. 6 Y abrazándonos los unos a los otros, subimos al barco y ellos se volvieron a sus casas.

7 Y nosotros completamos la navegación, saliendo de Tiro y arribando a Tolemaida; y habiendo saludado a los hermanos, nos quedamos con ellos un día. 8 Al otro día, saliendo Pablo y los que con él estábamos, fuimos a Cesarea; y entrando en casa de Felipe(A) el evangelista, que era uno de los siete, posamos con él. 9 Este tenía cuatro hijas doncellas que profetizaban. 10 Y permaneciendo nosotros allí algunos días, descendió de Judea un profeta llamado Agabo,(B) 11 quien viniendo a vernos, tomó el cinto de Pablo, y atándose los pies y las manos, dijo: Esto dice el Espíritu Santo: Así atarán los judíos en Jerusalén al varón de quien es este cinto, y le entregarán en manos de los gentiles. 12 Al oír esto, le rogamos nosotros y los de aquel lugar, que no subiese a Jerusalén. 13 Entonces Pablo respondió: ¿Qué hacéis llorando y quebrantándome el corazón? Porque yo estoy dispuesto no solo a ser atado, mas aun a morir en Jerusalén por el nombre del Señor Jesús. 14 Y como no le pudimos persuadir, desistimos, diciendo: Hágase la voluntad del Señor.

15 Después de esos días, hechos ya los preparativos, subimos a Jerusalén. 16 Y vinieron también con nosotros de Cesarea algunos de los discípulos, trayendo consigo a uno llamado Mnasón, de Chipre, discípulo antiguo, con quien nos hospedaríamos.

Arresto de Pablo en el templo

17 Cuando llegamos a Jerusalén, los hermanos nos recibieron con gozo. 18 Y al día siguiente Pablo entró con nosotros a ver a Jacobo, y se hallaban reunidos todos los ancianos; 19 a los cuales, después de haberles saludado, les contó una por una las cosas que Dios había hecho entre los gentiles por su ministerio. 20 Cuando ellos lo oyeron, glorificaron a Dios, y le dijeron: Ya ves, hermano, cuántos millares de judíos hay que han creído; y todos son celosos por la ley. 21 Pero se les ha informado en cuanto a ti, que enseñas a todos los judíos que están entre los gentiles a apostatar de Moisés, diciéndoles que no circunciden a sus hijos, ni observen las costumbres. 22 ¿Qué hay, pues? La multitud se reunirá de cierto, porque oirán que has venido. 23 Haz, pues, esto que te decimos: Hay entre nosotros cuatro hombres que tienen obligación de cumplir voto. 24 Tómalos contigo, purifícate con ellos, y paga sus gastos para que se rasuren la cabeza;(C) y todos comprenderán que no hay nada de lo que se les informó acerca de ti, sino que tú también andas ordenadamente, guardando la ley. 25 Pero en cuanto a los gentiles que han creído, nosotros les hemos escrito determinando que no guarden nada de esto; solamente que se abstengan de lo sacrificado a los ídolos, de sangre, de ahogado y de fornicación.(D) 26 Entonces Pablo tomó consigo a aquellos hombres, y al día siguiente, habiéndose purificado con ellos, entró en el templo, para anunciar el cumplimiento de los días de la purificación, cuando había de presentarse la ofrenda por cada uno de ellos.

27 Pero cuando estaban para cumplirse los siete días, unos judíos de Asia, al verle en el templo, alborotaron a toda la multitud y le echaron mano, 28 dando voces: ¡Varones israelitas, ayudad! Este es el hombre que por todas partes enseña a todos contra el pueblo, la ley y este lugar; y además de esto, ha metido a griegos en el templo, y ha profanado este santo lugar. 29 Porque antes habían visto con él en la ciudad a Trófimo,(E) de Éfeso, a quien pensaban que Pablo había metido en el templo. 30 Así que toda la ciudad se conmovió, y se agolpó el pueblo; y apoderándose de Pablo, le arrastraron fuera del templo, e inmediatamente cerraron las puertas. 31 Y procurando ellos matarle, se le avisó al tribuno de la compañía, que toda la ciudad de Jerusalén estaba alborotada. 32 Este, tomando luego soldados y centuriones, corrió a ellos. Y cuando ellos vieron al tribuno y a los soldados, dejaron de golpear a Pablo. 33 Entonces, llegando el tribuno, le prendió y le mandó atar con dos cadenas, y preguntó quién era y qué había hecho. 34 Pero entre la multitud, unos gritaban una cosa, y otros otra; y como no podía entender nada de cierto a causa del alboroto, le mandó llevar a la fortaleza. 35 Al llegar a las gradas, aconteció que era llevado en peso por los soldados a causa de la violencia de la multitud; 36 porque la muchedumbre del pueblo venía detrás, gritando: ¡Muera!

Defensa de Pablo ante el pueblo

37 Cuando comenzaron a meter a Pablo en la fortaleza, dijo al tribuno: ¿Se me permite decirte algo? Y él dijo: ¿Sabes griego? 38 ¿No eres tú aquel egipcio que levantó una sedición antes de estos días, y sacó al desierto los cuatro mil sicarios? 39 Entonces dijo Pablo: Yo de cierto soy hombre judío de Tarso, ciudadano de una ciudad no insignificante de Cilicia; pero te ruego que me permitas hablar al pueblo. 40 Y cuando él se lo permitió, Pablo, estando en pie en las gradas, hizo señal con la mano al pueblo. Y hecho gran silencio, habló en lengua hebrea, diciendo:

Paul Sails from Miletus

21 Now when (A)we had parted from them and had set sail, we ran (B)a straight course to Cos, and on the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara; 2 and having found a ship crossing over to (C)Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail. 3 When we came in sight of (D)Cyprus, leaving it on the left, we kept sailing to (E)Syria and landed at (F)Tyre; for the ship was to unload its cargo there. 4 After looking up (G)the disciples, we stayed there for seven days; and they kept telling Paul, [a](H)through the Spirit, not to set foot in Jerusalem. 5 When [b]our days there were ended, we left and started on our journey, while they all, with wives and children, (I)escorted us until we were out of the city. After (J)kneeling down on the beach and praying, we said farewell to one another. 6 Then we boarded the ship, and they returned (K)home.

7 When we had finished the voyage from (L)Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and after greeting (M)the brothers and sisters, we stayed with them for a day. 8 On the next day we left and came to (N)Caesarea, and we entered the house of (O)Philip the (P)evangelist, who was (Q)one of the seven, and stayed with him. 9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who were (R)prophetesses. 10 As we were staying there for some days, a prophet named (S)Agabus came down from Judea. 11 And he came to us and (T)took Paul’s belt and bound his own feet and hands, and said, “This (U)is what the Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will (V)bind the man who owns this belt and (W)hand him over to the Gentiles.’” 12 When we had heard this, we as well as the local residents began begging him (X)not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul replied, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For (Y)I am ready not only to be bound, but even to die in Jerusalem for (Z)the name of the Lord Jesus.” 14 And since he would not be persuaded, we became quiet, remarking, “(AA)The will of the Lord be done!”

Paul in Jerusalem

15 After these days we got ready and (AB)started on our way up to Jerusalem. 16 Some of (AC)the disciples from (AD)Caesarea also came with us, taking us to Mnason of (AE)Cyprus, a (AF)disciple of long standing with whom we were to stay.

17 After we arrived in Jerusalem, (AG)the brothers and sisters received us gladly. 18 And the following day Paul went in with us to [c](AH)James, and all (AI)the elders were present. 19 After he had greeted them, he (AJ)began to relate one by one the things which God had done among the Gentiles through his (AK)ministry. 20 And when they heard about them, they began (AL)glorifying God; and they said to him, “You see, brother, how many [d]thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all (AM)zealous for the Law; 21 and they have been told about you, that you are (AN)teaching all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to abandon Moses, telling them (AO)not to circumcise their children nor to [e]walk according to (AP)the customs. 22 So what is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come. 23 Therefore, do [f]as we tell you: we have four men who (AQ)have a [g]vow upon themselves; 24 take them along and (AR)purify yourself together with them, and [h]pay their expenses so that they may (AS)shave their [i]heads; and then everyone will know that there is nothing to what they have been told about you, but that you yourself also conform, keeping the Law. 25 But regarding the Gentiles who have believed, we sent a letter, (AT)having decided that they should abstain from [j]meat sacrificed to idols and from blood and what is [k]strangled, and from sexual immorality.” 26 Then Paul [l]took along the men, and the next day, after (AU)purifying himself together with them, he (AV)went into the temple giving notice of the completion of the days of purification, until the sacrifice was offered for each one of them.

Paul Seized in the Temple

27 When (AW)the seven days were almost over, (AX)the Jews from [m](AY)Asia, upon seeing him in the temple, began to stir up all the crowd and laid hands on him, 28 crying out, “Men of Israel, help! (AZ)This is the man who instructs everyone everywhere against our people and the Law and this place; and besides, he has even brought Greeks into the temple and has (BA)defiled this holy place!” 29 For they had previously seen (BB)Trophimus the (BC)Ephesian in the city with him, and they thought that Paul had brought him into the temple. 30 Then the whole city was provoked and [n]the people rushed together, and taking hold of Paul they (BD)dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut. 31 While they were intent on killing him, a report came up to the commander of the (BE)Roman [o]cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion. 32 He immediately (BF)took along some soldiers and centurions and ran down to [p]the crowd; and when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul. 33 Then the commander came up and took hold of him, and ordered that he be (BG)bound with (BH)two chains; and he began asking who he was and what he had done. 34 But among the crowd, (BI)some were shouting one thing and some another, and when he could not find out the [q]facts because of the uproar, he ordered that [r]Paul be brought into (BJ)the barracks. 35 When Paul got to (BK)the stairs, it came about that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the [s]mob; 36 for the multitude of people kept following them, shouting, “(BL)Away with him!”

37 As Paul was about to be brought into (BM)the barracks, he *said to the commander, “May I say something to you?” And he said, “Do you know Greek? 38 Then you are not (BN)the Egyptian who some [t]time ago stirred up a revolt and led the four thousand men of the Assassins out (BO)into the wilderness?” 39 But Paul said, “(BP)I am a Jew of Tarsus in (BQ)Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city; and I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.” 40 When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on (BR)the stairs, (BS)motioned to the people with his hand; and when there [u]was a great silence, he spoke to them in the [v](BT)Hebrew dialect, saying,
