Acts 18:18-21
Evangelical Heritage Version
Return to Antioch in Syria
18 After Paul stayed many more days, he said good-bye to the brothers and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. At Cenchrea Paul had his head shaved, because he was keeping a vow.
19 Next they arrived at Ephesus, where he left Priscilla and Aquila. Paul himself went into the synagogue and led a discussion with the Jews. 20 When they asked him to stay for a longer time, he declined. 21 But as he said good-bye, he told them,[a] “I will come back to you again if it is God’s will.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
