00:00.660 --> 00:05.100
Chapter 21 And it came to pass,
that after we were gotten from them,

00:05.260 --> 00:09.720
and had launched, we came with a straight
course unto Coos, and the day following

00:09.720 --> 00:12.180
unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Padua.

00:12.740 --> 00:16.860
And finding a ship sailing over unto
Phoenicia, we went aboard and set forth.

00:17.580 --> 00:21.460
Now when we had discovered Cyprus,
we left it on the left hand, and sailed

00:21.460 --> 00:23.240
into Syria, and landed at Tyre.

00:23.620 --> 00:25.480
For there the ship was to unlaid her
burden.

00:26.020 --> 00:30.160
And finding disciples, we tarried there
seven days, who said to Paul through the

00:30.160 --> 00:32.900
Spirit, that he should not go up to
Jerusalem.

00:33.820 --> 00:37.020
And when we had accomplished those days,
we departed and went our way.

00:37.360 --> 00:41.420
And they all brought us on our way with
wives and children, till we were out of

00:41.420 --> 00:44.380
the city, and we kneeled down on the shore
and prayed.

00:44.960 --> 00:49.340
And when we had taken our leave one of
another, we took ship, and they returned

00:49.340 --> 00:49.840
home again.

00:50.480 --> 00:54.580
And when we had finished our course from
Tyre, we came to Ptolemaeus, and saluted

00:54.580 --> 00:56.880
the brethren, and abode with them one day.

00:56.880 --> 01:01.140
And the next day, we that were of Paul's
company departed, and came unto Caesarea.

01:01.660 --> 01:05.420
And we entered into the house of Philip
the Evangelist, which was one of the

01:05.420 --> 01:06.720
seven, and abode with him.

01:07.240 --> 01:10.820
And the same man had four daughters,
virgins, which did prophesy.

01:11.420 --> 01:15.660
And as we tarried there many days,
there came down from Judea a certain

01:15.660 --> 01:16.960
prophet named Agabus.

01:17.660 --> 01:22.300
And when he was come unto us, he took
Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and

01:22.300 --> 01:28.860
feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost,
So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the

01:28.860 --> 01:33.840
man that owneth this girdle, and shall
deliver him into the hands of the

01:33.840 --> 01:34.720
Gentiles.

01:35.140 --> 01:38.580
And when we heard these things,
both we and they of that place besought

01:38.580 --> 01:40.080
him not to go up to Jerusalem.

01:40.800 --> 01:45.480
Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep,
and to break mine heart?

01:46.060 --> 01:51.460
For I am ready not to be bound only,
but also to die at Jerusalem for the name

01:51.460 --> 01:52.480
of the Lord Jesus.

01:52.480 --> 01:57.720
And when he would not be persuaded,
we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be

01:57.720 --> 01:58.040
done.

01:58.860 --> 02:02.060
And after those days we took up our
carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.

02:02.900 --> 02:06.780
There went with us also certain of the
disciples of Caesarea, and brought with

02:06.780 --> 02:11.300
them one Nason of Cyprus, an old disciple,
with whom we should lodge.

02:11.780 --> 02:15.140
And when we were come to Jerusalem,
the brethren received us gladly.

02:15.820 --> 02:20.040
And the day following Paul went in with us
unto James, and all the elders were

02:20.040 --> 02:20.320
present.

02:20.320 --> 02:25.000
And when he had saluted them, he declared
particularly what things God had wrought

02:25.000 --> 02:26.600
among the Gentiles by his ministry.

02:27.120 --> 02:31.320
And when they heard it, they glorified the
Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest,

02:31.420 --> 02:36.220
brother, how many thousands of Jews there
are which believe, and they are all

02:36.220 --> 02:37.080
zealous of the law.

02:38.140 --> 02:42.320
And they are informed of thee that thou
teachest all the Jews which are among the

02:42.320 --> 02:46.740
Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that
they ought not to circumcise their

02:46.740 --> 02:49.260
children, neither to walk after the
customs.

02:49.960 --> 02:51.160
What is it therefore?

02:51.940 --> 02:55.280
The multitude must needs come together,
for they will hear that thou art come.

02:56.480 --> 02:58.540
Do therefore this that we say to thee.

02:59.040 --> 03:01.180
We have four men which have a vow on them.

03:01.660 --> 03:07.240
Them take, and purify thyself with them,
and be at charges with them, that they may

03:07.240 --> 03:11.680
shave their heads, and all may know that
those things whereof they were informed

03:11.680 --> 03:17.640
concerning thee are nothing, but that thou
thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest

03:17.640 --> 03:18.080
the law.

03:19.280 --> 03:24.180
As touching the Gentiles which believe,
we have written and concluded that they

03:24.180 --> 03:28.600
observe no such thing, save only that they
keep themselves from things offered to

03:28.600 --> 03:32.520
idols, and from blood, and from strangled,
and from fornication.

03:33.020 --> 03:37.400
Then Paul took the men, and the next day
purifying himself with them, entered into

03:37.400 --> 03:41.740
the temple to signify the accomplishment
of the days of purification, and tell that

03:41.740 --> 03:43.900
an offering should be offered for every
one of them.

03:44.500 --> 03:49.100
And when the seven days were almost ended,
the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw

03:49.100 --> 03:52.880
him in the temple, stirred up all the
people, and laid hands on him,

03:53.020 --> 03:55.540
crying out, Men of Israel, help!

03:55.860 --> 04:00.300
This is the man that teacheth all men
everywhere against the people,

04:00.500 --> 04:06.020
and the law, and this place, and further
brought Greeks also into the temple,

04:06.300 --> 04:09.000
and hath polluted this holy place.

04:09.000 --> 04:12.820
For they had seen before with him in the
city of Trophimus an Ephesian,

04:13.280 --> 04:15.480
whom they supposed that Paul had brought
into the temple.

04:16.140 --> 04:20.640
And all the city was moved, and the people
ran together, and they took Paul and drew

04:20.640 --> 04:23.180
him out of the temple, and forthwith the
doors were shut.

04:23.680 --> 04:27.860
And as they went about to kill him,
tidings came unto the chief captain of the

04:27.860 --> 04:32.160
band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar,
who immediately took soldiers and

04:32.160 --> 04:34.420
centurions, and ran down unto them.

04:34.700 --> 04:38.280
And when they saw the chief captain and
the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.

04:38.280 --> 04:42.460
Then the chief captain came near,
and took him, and commanded him to be

04:42.460 --> 04:45.860
bound with two chains, and demanded who he
was, and what he had done.

04:46.380 --> 04:49.180
And some cried one thing, some another
among the multitude.

04:49.720 --> 04:53.540
And when he could not know the certainty
for the tumult, he commanded him to be

04:53.540 --> 04:54.560
carried into the castle.

04:55.320 --> 04:59.240
And when he came upon the stairs,
so it was that he was born of the soldiers

04:59.240 --> 05:00.420
for the violence of the people.

05:00.940 --> 05:05.240
For the multitude of the people followed
after, crying, Away with him!

05:05.240 --> 05:08.960
And as Paul was to be led into the castle,
he said unto the chief captain,

05:09.160 --> 05:10.380
May I speak unto thee?

05:10.520 --> 05:13.180
Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?

05:14.300 --> 05:19.800
Art not thou that Egyptian, which before
these days madest an uproar, and leadest

05:19.800 --> 05:23.880
out into the wilderness four thousand men
that were murderers?

05:24.040 --> 05:31.360
But Paul said, I am a man, which am a Jew
of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of

05:31.360 --> 05:32.260
no mean city.

05:32.260 --> 05:36.240
And I beseech thee, suffer me to speak
unto the people.

05:36.540 --> 05:40.760
And when he had given him license,
Paul stood on the stairs and beckoned with

05:40.760 --> 05:41.860
the hand unto the people.

05:42.560 --> 05:46.740
And when there was made a great silence,
he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue,

05:46.900 --> 05:47.220
saying,
