In (F)Cenchreae [a]he (G)had his hair cut, for he was keeping a vow. 19 And they arrived at (H)Ephesus, and he left them there. Now he himself entered (I)the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. 20 When they asked him to stay for a longer time, he did not consent, 21 but (J)taking leave of them and saying, “I will return to you again (K)if God wills,” he set sail from (L)Ephesus.
