Acts 18:18-21
New American Standard Bible
18 Now Paul, when he had remained many days longer, (A)took leave of (B)the brothers and sisters and sailed away to (C)Syria, and (D)Priscilla and (E)Aquila were with him. [a]Paul first (F)had his hair cut at (G)Cenchrea, for he was keeping a vow. 19 They came to (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)took leave of them and said, “I will return to you again (K)if God wills,” and he set sail from (L)Ephesus.

Paul Returns to Antioch in Syria
18 So Paul, after[a] remaining many days longer, said farewell to the brothers and[b] sailed away to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his[c] head at Cenchrea, because he had taken a vow. 19 So they arrived at Ephesus, and those he left behind there, but he himself entered into the synagogue and[d] discussed with the Jews. 20 And when[e] they asked him[f] to stay for a longer time, he did not give his consent, 21 but saying farewell and telling them,[g] “I will return to you again if[h] God wills,” he set sail from Ephesus.
