³⁶ And when he had said these things, ^(A)he knelt down and prayed with them all. ³⁷ And ^(B)there was much weeping on the part of all; ^(C)they embraced Paul and ^(D)kissed him, ³⁸ being sorrowful most of all because of ^(E)the word he had spoken, that they would not see his face again. And ^(F)they accompanied him to the ship.

Paul Goes to Jerusalem

21 And when ^(G)we had parted from them and set sail, we ^(H)came by a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.^{[a] 2} And having found a ship crossing to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail. ³ When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload its cargo. ⁴ And having sought out the disciples, we stayed there for seven days. And ^(I)through the Spirit they were telling Paul not to go on to Jerusalem. ⁵ When our days there were ended, we departed and went on our journey, and they all, with wives and children, ^(J)accompanied us until we were outside the city. And ^(K)kneeling down on the beach, we prayed ⁶ and said farewell to one another. Then we went on board the ship, and they returned home.

⁷ When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and we greeted ^(L)the brothers^[b] and stayed with them for one day. ⁸ On the next day we departed and came to Caesarea, and we entered the house of ^(M)Philip ^(N)the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him. ⁹ He had four unmarried daughters, ^(O)who prophesied. ¹⁰ While we were staying for many days, a prophet named ^(P)Agabus came down from Judea. ¹¹ And coming to us, he ^(Q)took Paul's belt and bound his own feet and hands and said, ^(R)“Thus says the Holy Spirit, ^(S)‘This is how the Jews^[c] at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and ^(T)deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’” ¹² When we heard this, we and the people there ^(U)urged him not to go up to Jerusalem. ¹³ Then Paul answered, ^(V)“What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For ^(W)I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem ^(X)for the name of the Lord Jesus.” ¹⁴ And since he would not be persuaded, ^(Y)we ceased and said, ^(Z)“Let the will of the Lord be done.”

¹⁵ After these days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem. ¹⁶ And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing us to the house of Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.
