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.

18 So Paul still remained [a]a good while. Then he took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. (A)He had his hair cut off at (B)Cenchrea, for he had taken a vow. 19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. 20 When they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent, 21 but took leave of them, saying, (C)“I[b] must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, (D)God willing.” And he sailed from Ephesus.
