Paul’s journey by ship. Of Philip the evangelist, and of Agabus the prophet, who warned Paul not to go to Jerusalem. He remains steadfast in his purpose, and is taken in the temple.

And we found a ship ready to sail to Phoenicia, and went aboard and set sail. Then we came in sight of Cyprus, and we passed it on the left hand and sailed to Syria.
