Acts 21

1 Paul will not by any means be dissuaded from going to Jerusalem. 9 Philip's daughters prophetesses. 17 Paul cometh to Jerusalem: 27 where he is apprehended, and in great danger, 31 but by the chief captain is rescued, and permitted to speak to the people.

 21:1 ¶ And 1161 it x5613 came to pass, 1096 z5633 that after y5613 we 2248 were gotten 645 z5685 from 575 them, 846 and had launched, 321 z5683 we came 2064 z5627 with a straight course 2113 z5660 unto 1519 Coos, 2972 and 1161 the x3588 [day] following 1836 unto 1519 Rhodes, 4499 and from thence 2547 unto 1519 Patara: 3959

 21:2 And 2532 finding 2147 z5631 a ship 4143 sailing over 1276 z5723 unto 1519 Phenicia, 5403 we went aboard, 1910 z5631 and set forth. 321 z5681

 21:3 Now 1161 when we had discovered 398 z5631 Cyprus, 2954 y2532 we x2532 left 2641 z5631 it 846 on the left hand, 2176 and sailed 4126 z5707 into 1519 Syria, 4947 and 2532 landed 2609 z5648 at 1519 Tyre: 5184 for 1063 there 1566 the x3588 ship 4143 was 2258 z5713 to unlade 670 z5740 her burden. 1117

 21:4 And 2532 finding 429 z5631 disciples, 3101 we tarried 1961 z5656 there 847 seven 2033 days: 2250 who 3748 said 3004 z5707 to Paul 3972 through 1223 the x3588 Spirit, 4151 that he should y305 z0 not 3361 go up 305 z5721 to 1519 Jerusalem. 2419

 21:5 And 1161 when 3753 we 2248 had 1096 z5633 accomplished 1822 z5658 those days, 2250 we departed 1831 z5631 and went our way; 4198 z5711 and they all 3956 brought y4311 z0 us y2248 on our way, 4311 z5723 x2248 with 4862 wives 1135 and 2532 children, 5043 till 2193 [we were] out x1854 of y1854 the x3588 city: 4172 and 2532 we kneeled down 5087 1119 z5631 on 1909 the x3588 shore, 123 and prayed. 4336 z5662

 21:6 And 2532 when we had taken our leave 782 z5666 one of another, 240 we took y1910 z5627 y1519 ship; 4143 x1910 x1519 and 1161 they 1565 returned 5290 y1519 z0 home y2398 again. y5290 z5656 x1519 x2398

 21:7 And 1161 when we 2249 had finished 1274 z5660 [our] course 4144 from 575 Tyre, 5184 we came 2658 z5656 to 1519 Ptolemais, 4424 and 2532 saluted 782 z5666 the x3588 brethren, 80 and abode 3306 z5656 with 3844 them 846 one 3391 day. 2250

 21:8 And 1161 the x3588 next 1887 [day] we that were of y4012 z0 Paul's y3972 company 4012 x3972 departed, 1831 z5631 and came 2064 z5627 z5625 unto 1519 Caesarea: 2542 and 2532 we entered 1525 z5631 into 1519 the x3588 house 3624 of Philip 5376 the x3588 evangelist, 2099 which was 5607 z5752 [one] of 1537 the x3588 seven; 2033 and abode 3306 z5656 with 3844 him. 846

 21:9 And 1161 the same man 5129 had 2258 z5713 four 5064 daughters, 2364 virgins, 3933 which did prophesy. 4395 z5723

 21:10 And 1161 as we 2257 tarried 1961 z5723 [there] many 4119 days, 2250 there came down 2718 z5627 from 575 Judaea 2449 a certain 5100 prophet, 4396 named 3686 Agabus. 13

 21:11 And 2532 when he was come 2064 z5631 unto 4314 us, 2248 y2532 he x2532 took 142 z5660 Paul's 3972 girdle, 2223 and 5037 bound 1210 z5660 his own y846 x848 hands 5495 and 2532 feet, 4228 and said, 2036 z5627 Thus 3592 saith 3004 z5719 the x3588 Holy 40 Ghost, 4151 So 3779 shall y1210 z0 the x3588 Jews 2453 at 1722 Jerusalem 2419 bind 1210 z5692 the x3588 man 435 that 3739 owneth 2076 z5748 this 3778 girdle, 2223 and 2532 shall deliver 3860 z5692 [him] into 1519 the hands 5495 of the Gentiles. 1484

 21:12 And 1161 when 5613 we heard 191 z5656 these things, 5023 both 5037 we, 2249 and 2532 they of that place, 1786 besought 3870 z5707 him 846 not 3361 to go up 305 z5721 to 1519 Jerusalem. 2419

 21:13 Then 1161 Paul 3972 answered, 611 z5662 What 5101 mean x4160 ye y4160 z5719 to weep 2799 z5723 and 2532 to break 4919 z5723 mine 3450 heart? 2588 for 1063 I 1473 am 2192 z5719 ready 2093 not 3756 to be bound 1210 z5683 only, 3440 but y2532 x235 also y235 x2532 to die 599 z5629 at 1519 Jerusalem 2419 for 5228 the x3588 name 3686 of the x3588 Lord 2962 Jesus. 2424

 21:14 And 1161 when he 846 would y3982 z0 not 3361 be persuaded, 3982 z5746 we ceased, 2270 z5656 saying, 2036 z5631 The x3588 will 2307 of the x3588 Lord 2962 be done. 1096 z5634

 21:15 And 1161 after 3326 those 5025 days 2250 we took up our carriages, 643 z5666 and went up 305 z5707 to 1519 Jerusalem. 2419

 21:16 y1161 There x1161 went 4905 z5627 with 4862 us 2254 also 2532 [certain] of the x3588 disciples 3101 of 575 Caesarea, 2542 and brought 71 z5723 with them y3844 one 5100 Mnason 3416 of Cyprus, 2953 an old 744 disciple, 3101 with x3844 whom 3739 we should lodge. 3579 z5686

 21:17 And 1161 when we 2257 were come 1096 z5637 to 1519 Jerusalem, 2414 the x3588 brethren 80 received 1209 z5662 us 2248 gladly. 780

 21:18 And 1161 the x3588 [day] following 1966 z5752 Paul 3972 went in 1524 z5715 with 4862 us 2254 unto 4314 James; 2385 and 5037 all 3956 the x3588 elders 4245 were present. 3854 z5633

 21:19 And 2532 when he had saluted 782 z5666 them, 846 he declared 1834 z5711 particularly 2596 1520 1538 what things 3739 God 2316 had wrought 4160 z5656 among 1722 the x3588 Gentiles 1484 by 1223 his y846 x848 ministry. 1248

 21:20 And 1161 when they x3588 heard 191 z5660 [it], they glorified 1392 z5707 the x3588 Lord, 2962 and 5037 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Thou seest, 2334 z5719 brother, 80 how many 4214 thousands 3461 of Jews 2453 there are 1526 z5748 which y3588 believe; 4100 z5761 and 2532 they are 5225 z5719 all 3956 zealous 2207 of the x3588 law: 3551

 21:21 And 1161 they are informed 2727 z5681 of 4012 thee, y4675 x675 that 3754 thou teachest 1321 z5719 all 3956 the Jews 2453 which x3588 are among 2596 the x3588 Gentiles 1484 to y575 forsake 646 Moses, 3475 saying 3004 z5723 that they 846 ought y4059 z0 not 3361 to circumcise 4059 z5721 [their] children, 5043 neither 3366 to walk 4043 z5721 after the x3588 customs. 1485

 21:22 What 5101 is x2076 it y2076 z5748 therefore? 3767 the multitude 4128 must 1163 z5748 needs 3843 come together: y4905 z5629 x4095 for 1063 they will hear 191 z5695 that 3754 thou art come. 2064 z5754

 21:23 Do 4160 z5657 therefore 3767 this 5124 that 3739 we say 3004 z5719 to thee: 4671 We 2254 have 1526 z5748 four 5064 men 435 which have y2171 x2192 a vow y2192 z5723 x2171 on 1909 them; 1438

 21:24 Them 5128 take, 3880 z5631 and purify x48 thyself y48 z5682 with 4862 them, 846 and 2532 be at charges 1159 z5657 with 1909 them, 846 that 2443 they may shave 3587 z5667 [their] heads: 2776 and 2532 all 3956 may know 1097 z5632 that x3754 those things, y3754 whereof 3739 they were informed 2727 z5769 concerning 4012 thee, 4675 are 2076 z5748 nothing; 3762 but 235 [that] thou x848 thyself y846 also 2532 walkest orderly, 4748 z5719 and keepest 5442 z5723 the x3588 law. 3551

 21:25 x1161 As y1161 touching 4012 the x3588 Gentiles 1484 which believe, 4100 z5761 we 2249 have written 1989 z5656 [and] concluded 2919 z5660 that they 846 observe 5083 z5721 no 3367 such thing, 5108 save x1508 only y1508 that they keep 5442 z5733 themselves 846 from 5037 [things] offered to idols, 1494 and 2532 from blood, 129 and 2532 from strangled, 4156 and 2532 from fornication. 4202

 21:26 Then 5119 Paul 3972 took 3880 z5631 the x3588 men, 435 and the x3588 next 2192 z5746 day 2250 purifying x48 himself y48 z5685 with 4862 them 846 entered 1524 z5715 into 1519 the x3588 temple, 2411 to signify 1229 z5723 the x3588 accomplishment 1604 of the x3588 days 2250 of purification, 49 until 2193 that 3739 an offering 4376 should be offered 4374 z5681 for 5228 every 1538 one 1520 of them. 846

 21:27 And 1161 when 5613 the x3588 seven 2033 days 2250 were almost 3195 z5707 ended, 4931 z5745 the x3588 Jews 2453 which were of 575 Asia, 773 when they saw 2300 z5666 him 846 in 1722 the x3588 temple, 2411 stirred up 4797 z5707 all 3956 the x3588 people, 3793 and 2532 laid 1911 z5627 hands 5495 on 1909 him, 846

 21:28 Crying out, 2896 z5723 Men 435 of Israel, 2475 help: 997 z5720 This 3778 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 man, 444 that teacheth 1321 z5723 all 3956 [men] every where 3837 against 2596 the x3588 people, 2992 and 2532 the x3588 law, 3551 and 2532 this y5126 x5127 place: 5117 and 5037 further 2089 brought 1521 z5627 Greeks 1672 also 2532 into 1519 the x3588 temple, 2411 and 2532 hath polluted 2840 z5758 this y5127 x5126 holy 40 place. 5117

 21:29 (For 1063 they had 2258 z5713 seen before 4308 z5761 with 4862 him 846 in 1722 the x3588 city 4172 Trophimus 5161 an Ephesian, 2180 whom 3739 they supposed 3543 z5707 that 3754 Paul 3972 had brought 1521 z5627 into 1519 the x3588 temple.) 2411

 21:30 And 5037 all 3650 the x3588 city 4172 was moved, 2795 z5681 and 2532 the x3588 people 2992 ran together: 1096 4890 z5633 and 2532 they took 1949 z5637 Paul, 3972 and drew 1670 z5707 him 846 out x1854 of y1854 the x3588 temple: 2411 and 2532 forthwith 2112 the x3588 doors 2374 were shut. 2808 z5681

 21:31 And 1161 as they went about 2212 z5723 to kill 615 z5658 him, 846 tidings 5334 came 305 z5627 unto the x3588 chief captain 5506 of the x3588 band, 4686 that 3754 all 3650 Jerusalem 2419 was in an uproar. 4797 z5769

 21:32 Who 3739 immediately 1824 took 3880 z5631 soldiers 4757 and 2532 centurions, 1543 and ran down 2701 z5627 unto 1909 them: 846 and 1161 when they x3588 saw 1492 z5631 the x3588 chief captain 5506 and 2532 the x3588 soldiers, 4757 they left y3973 z5668 x3793 beating 5180 z5723 of Paul. 3972

 21:33 Then 5119 the x3588 chief captain 5506 came near, 1448 z5660 and took 1949 z5633 him, 846 and 2532 commanded 2753 z5656 [him] to be bound x1210 with y1210 z5683 two 1417 chains; 254 and 2532 demanded 4441 z5711 who 5101 he was, 302 1498 z5751 and 2532 what 5101 he had 2076 z5748 done. 4160 z5761

 21:34 And 1161 some y243 cried y994 z5707 one thing, y5100 some another, 243 x994 x5100 among 1722 the x3588 multitude: 3793 and 1161 when he could 1410 z5740 not 3361 know 1097 z5629 the x3588 certainty 804 for 1223 the x3588 tumult, 2351 he commanded 2753 z5656 him 846 to be carried 71 z5745 into 1519 the x3588 castle. 3925

 21:35 And 1161 when 3753 he came 1096 z5633 upon 1909 the x3588 stairs, 304 so it was, 4819 z5627 that he x846 was borne 941 z5745 of 5259 the x3588 soldiers 4757 for 1223 the x3588 violence 970 of the x3588 people. 3793

 21:36 For 1063 the x3588 multitude 4128 of the x3588 people 2992 followed after, 190 z5707 crying, 2896 z5723 Away 142 z5720 with him. 846

 21:37 And 5037 as Paul 3972 was x3195 to be y3195 z5723 led 1521 z5745 into 1519 the x3588 castle, 3925 he said 3004 z5719 unto the x3588 chief captain, 5506 x1487 May 1832 y1487 z5748 I 3427 speak 2036 z5629 y5100 unto 4314 thee? 4571 1161 Who 3588 said, 5346 z5713 Canst thou speak y1097 z5719 Greek? 1676 x1097

 21:38 Art 1488 z5748 not 3756 thou 4771 y686 that x686 Egyptian, 124 which before 4253 these 5130 days 2250 madest an uproar, 387 z5660 and 2532 leddest out 1806 z5631 into 1519 the x3588 wilderness 2048 four thousand 5070 men 435 that were murderers? 4607

 21:39 But 1161 Paul 3972 said, 2036 z5627 I 1473 am 1510 z5748 y3303 a man 444 [which x3303 am] a Jew 2453 of Tarsus, 5018 [a city] in Cilicia, 2791 a citizen 4177 of no 3756 mean 767 city: 4172 and, 1161 I beseech 1189 z5736 thee, 4675 suffer 2010 z5657 me 3427 to speak 2980 z5658 unto 4314 the x3588 people. 2992

 21:40 And 1161 when he x846 had given y2010 z0 him y846 licence, 2010 z5660 Paul 3972 stood 2476 z5761 on 1909 the x3588 stairs, 304 and beckoned y2678 z5656 x2673 with the x3588 hand 5495 unto the x3588 people. 2992 And 1161 when there was made 1096 z5637 a great 4183 silence, 4602 he spake y4377 z5656 unto x4377 [them] in the x3588 Hebrew 1446 tongue, 1258 saying, 3004 z5723
