21:1	And it chaunsed that assone as we had launched forthe, & were departed from them, we came with a strayght course vnto Choon, & the daye folowing vnto the Rhodes, and from thence vnto Patara.
21:2	And we found a shyppe ready to sayle vnto Phenices & went a bourde and set forthe.
21:3	Then appeared vnto vs Cyprus, and we left it on the lefte hand, & sayled vnto Syria, & came vnto Tire. For ther the shyp vnladed her burthen.
21:4	And when we had founde brethren, we taryed there .vij. dayes. And they tolde Paule throughe the spirite that he shoulde not go vp to Hierusalem.
21:5	And when the dayes were ended, we departed and went our wayes, & they al brought vs on our way, with theyr wyues and children, tyll we were come out of the citye. And we kneled doune in the shore and prayde.
21:6	And when we had taken our leaue one of another, we toke shyp, and they returned home agayne.
21:7	When we had full ended the course from Tyre we arryued at Ptolomaida, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one daye.
21:8	The nexte daye, we that were of Paules companye, departed and came vnto Cesarea. And we entred into the house of Philip the Euangeliste, whiche was one of the .vij. deacones, & abode wyth hym.
21:9	The same man had foure doughters virgens which dyd prophesy.
21:10	And as we taryed there a good manye of dayes, there came a certayne Prophete from Iewry, named Agabus.
21:11	When he was come to vs, he toke Paules gyrdell, and bound hys handes and fete, and sayed: thus sayeth the holye Ghoste: so shall the Iewes at Hierusalem bynde the man that oweth thys gyrdell, and shall delyuer hym into the handes of the gentyls.
21:12	When we hearde thys, both we and other of the same place, besoughte hym, that he would not go vp to Ierusalem.
21:13	Then Paul aunswered and sayd: what do ye wepynge and breakyng myne hert? I am ready not to be bound onelye: but also to dye at Hierusalem for the name of the Lorde Iesus.
21:14	When we coulde not turne hys mynde, we ceased saiynge: the wyll of the Lorde be fulfylled.
21:15	After those dayes we made oure selues readye, and went vp to Hierusalem.
21:16	There wente vp with vs also certayne of the discyples of Cesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an olde disciple with whom we should lodge.
21:17	And when we were come to Hierusalem, the brethren receyued vs gladlye.
21:18	And on the morowe Paule wente in wyth vs vnto Iames. And all the elders came together.
21:19	And when he had saluted them, he tolde by ordre al thynges that God had wroughte amonge the Gentyles by hys ministracyon.
21:20	And when they hearde it, they glorifyed the Lorde, and sayed vnto hym: thou seest brother, howe manye thousande Iewes there are that beleue, & they are all zelous ouer the lawe.
21:21	And they are informed of the, that thou teacheste all the Iewes whiche are amonge the gentyls, to forsake Moyses, and sayest, that they oughte not to circumcyse theyr chyldren, neyther to lyue after the customes.
21:22	What is it therfore? The multytude muste nedes come together. For they shal heare that thou arte come.
21:23	Do therfore thys that we saye to the. We haue foure men which haue a vowe on them.
21:24	Them take and purifye thy self wt them, and do coste on them that they maye shaue theyr heades, and all shall knowe that those thinges, whiche they haue heard, concerning the, are nothinge: but that thou thy selfe also walkest and kepest the lawe.
21:25	For as touching the Gentylles whiche beleue, we haue writen and concluded, that they obserue no such thinges: but that they kepe them selues from thynges offered to Idols, from bloude, from strangled, and from fornicacyon.
21:26	Then the next daye Paule toke the men, and puryfyed hym selfe with them, and entred into the temple, declarynge that he obserued the dayes of the purifycation, vntyll that an offerynge shoulde be offered for euerye one of them.
21:27	And as the seuen dayes shoulde haue ben ended, the Iewes which were of Asia when they sawe hym in the temple, they moued all the people, and layed handes on hym,
21:28	criyng: Ye men of Israell, healpe. Thys is the man that teacheth all men euerye where agaynste the people and the lawe, and this place. More ouer also he hath brought Grekes into the temple, & hath polluted thys holy place.
21:29	For they sawe one Trophimus an Ephesyan with him in the cytie. Hym they supposed Paule had brought into the temple.
21:30	And all the citie was moued, and the people swarmed together. And they toke Paule, and drue hym out of the temple, and forthwith the dores were shut to.
21:31	As they wente aboute to kyll hym, tydinges came vnto the hye captayne of the souldyers, that all Ierusalem was moued.
21:32	Whiche immediatlye toke souldyers and vndercaptaynes, and ran doune vnto them. When they sawe the vpper captayne and the souldyers, they left smittynge of Paule.
21:33	Then the captayne came neare, and toke hym: and commaunded hym to be bounde with two chaynes, and demaunded what he was, and what he had done.
21:34	And one cryed thys, another that, among the people, And when he coulde not know the certaintye for the rage, he commaunded hym to be caryed into the castle.
21:35	And when he came vnto a grece, it fortuned that he was borne of the souldyers, for the violence of the people.
21:36	For the multitude of the people folowed after cryenge awaye with hym.
21:37	And as Paule shoulde haue bene caryed into the castle, he sayde vnto the hye captaine: maye I speake vnto the? Which sayde: canste thou speake Greke?
21:38	arte not thou that Egyptian whiche before these dayes made an vproure, and led oute into the wyldernes .iiij.M. men that were mortherers?
21:39	But Paule sayd: I am a man which am a Iewe of Tharsus a citie in Cicyll, a cytisyn of no vyle cytie, I beseche the, suffer me to speake vnto the people.
21:40	When he had geuen hym licence. Paul stode on the stoppes, and beckened with the hande vnto the people, and there was made a great silence. And he spake vnto them in the Hebrew tonge, saiynge.


21:1	And as we launched forth, and were departed from them, we came with a straight course vnto Coos, and the day following vnto the Rhodes, and from thence vnto Patara.
21:2	And we found a ship that went ouer vnto Phenice, and went aboard, and set forth.
21:3	And whe we had discouered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed toward Syria, and arriued at Tyrus: for there the ship vnladed ye burden.
21:4	And when we had found disciples, we taried there seuen dayes. And they told Paul through the Spirit, that he should not goe vp to Hierusalem.
21:5	But when the dayes were ended, we departed and went our way, and they all accompanied vs with their wiues and children, euen out of the citie: and we kneeling downe on the shore, prayed.
21:6	Then when we had embraced one another, we tooke ship, and they returned home.
21:7	And when we had ended the course from Tyrus, we arriued at Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
21:8	And the next day, Paul and we that were with him, departed, and came vnto Cesarea: and we entred into the house of Philippe the Euangelist, which was one of the seuen Deacons, and abode with him.
21:9	Now he had foure daughters virgins, which did prophecie.
21:10	And as we taried there many dayes, there came a certaine Prophet from Iudea, named Agabus.
21:11	And when he was come vnto vs, he tooke Pauls girdle, and bound his owne hands and feete, and sayd, Thus sayth the holy Ghost, So shall the Iewes at Hierusalem binde the man that oweth this girdle, and shall deliuer him into the hands of the Gentiles.
21:12	And when we had heard these things, both we and other of the same place besought him that he would not go vp to Hierusalem.
21:13	Then Paul answered, and sayd, What doe ye weeping and breaking mine heart? For I am ready not to be bound onely, but also to die at Hierusalem for the Name of the Lord Iesus.
21:14	So when he would not be perswaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
21:15	And after those dayes we trussed vp our fardels, and went vp to Hierusalem.
21:16	There went with vs also certaine of the disciples of Cesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an olde disciple, with whome we should lodge.
21:17	And when we were come to Hierusalem, the brethren receiued vs gladly.
21:18	And the next day Paul went in with vs vnto Iames: and all the Elders were there assembled.
21:19	And when he had embraced them, hee tolde by order all things, that God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministration.
21:20	So when they heard it, they glorified God, and sayd vnto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousand Iewes there are which beleeue, and they are all zealous of the Law:
21:21	Now they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Iewes, which are among the Gentiles, to forsake Moses, and sayest that they ought not to circumcise their sonnes, neither to liue after the customes.
21:22	What is then to be done? the multitude must needes come together: for they shall heare that thou art come.
21:23	Doe therefore this that we say to thee. We haue foure men, which haue made a vowe,
21:24	Them take, and purifie thy selfe with them, and contribute with them, that they may shaue their heads: and all shall knowe, that those things, whereof they haue bene informed concerning thee, are nothing, but that thou thy selfe also walkest and keepest the Lawe.
21:25	For as touching ye Gentiles, which beleeue, we haue written, and determined that they obserue no such thing, but that they keepe themselues from things offred to idoles, and from blood, and from that that is strangled, and from fornication.
21:26	Then Paul tooke the men, and the next day was purified with them, and entred into the Temple, declaring the accomplishment of the dayes of the purification, vntill that an offering should be offered for euery one of them.
21:27	And when the seuen dayes were almost ended, the Iewes which were of Asia (when they sawe him in the Temple) moued all the people, and laide hands on him,
21:28	Crying, Men of Israel, helpe: this is the man that teacheth all men euery where against the people, and the Lawe, and this place: moreouer, he hath brought Grecians into the Temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
21:29	For they had seene before Trophimus an Ephesian with him in the citie, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the Temple.
21:30	Then all the citie was moued, and the people ran together: and they tooke Paul and drewe him out of the Temple, and forth with the doores were shut.
21:31	But as they went about to kill him, tydings came vnto the chiefe captaine of the band, that all Hierusalem was on an vproare.
21:32	Who immediately tooke souldiers and Centurions, and ran downe vnto them: and when they sawe the chiefe Captaine and the souldiers, they left beating of Paul.
21:33	Then the chiefe Captaine came neere and tooke him, and commanded him to be bound with two chaines, and demaunded who he was, and what he had done.
21:34	And one cryed this, another that, among the people. So when he could not know the certeintie for the tumult, he commanded him to be led into the castell.
21:35	And when hee came vnto the grieces, it was so that he was borne of the souldiers, for the violence of the people.
21:36	For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
21:37	And as Paul should haue bene led into the castell, he sayd vnto the chiefe Captaine, May I speake vnto thee? Who sayd, Canst thou speake Greeke?
21:38	Art not thou the Egyptian who before these dayes raised a sedition, and led out into the wildernesse foure thousande men that were murtherers?
21:39	Then Paul sayde, Doubtlesse, I am a man which am a Iewe, and citizen of Tarsus, a famous citie of Cilicia, and I beseech thee, suffer mee to speake vnto the people.
21:40	And when he had giuen him licence, Paul stoode on the grieces, and beckened with the hand vnto the people: and when there was made great silence, hee spake vnto them in the Hebrewe tongue, saying,


21:1	And it came to passe, that after wee were gotten fro them, and had lanched, wee came with a straight course vnto Choos, and the day following vnto Rhodes, and from thence vnto Patara.
21:2	And finding a ship sailing ouer vnto Phenicea, wee went abroad, and set foorth.
21:3	Now when wee had discouered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the shippe was to vnlade her burden.
21:4	And finding disciples, wee taried there seuen dayes: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that hee should not goe vp to Hierusalem.
21:5	And when we had accomplished those dayes, we departed, and went our way, and they all brought vs on our way, with wiues and children, till wee were out of the citie: and wee kneeled downe on the shore, and prayed.
21:6	And when we had taken our leaue one of another, we tooke ship, and they returned home againe.
21:7	And when wee had finished our course from Tyre, wee came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
21:8	And the next day we that were of Pauls company, departed, and came vnto Cesarea, and wee entred into the house of Philip the Euangelist (which was one of the seuen) & abode with him.
21:9	And ye same man had foure daughters, virgins, which did prophesie.
21:10	And as wee taried there many dayes, there came downe from Iudea a certaine Prophet, named Agabus.
21:11	And when he was come vnto vs, he tooke Pauls girdle, and bound his owne hands and feete, and said, Thus sayth the holy Ghost, So shall the Iewes at Hierusalem binde the man that oweth this girdle, and shall deliuer him into the hands of the Gentiles.
21:12	And when we heard these things, both we and they of that place, besought him not to goe vp to Hierusalem.
21:13	Then Paul answered, What meane ye to weepe and to breake mine heart? for I am ready, not to bee bound onely, but also to die at Hierusalem for the Name of the Lord Iesus.
21:14	And when he would not bee perswaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
21:15	And after those dayes we tooke vp our cariages, & went vp to Hierusalem.
21:16	There went with vs also certaine of the disciples of Cesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with who we should lodge.
21:17	And when we were come to Hierusalem, the brethren receiued vs gladly
21:18	And the day following Paul went in with vs vnto Iames, and all the Elders were present.
21:19	And when hee had saluted them, hee declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministerie.
21:20	And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, & said vnto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Iewes there are which beleeue, and they are all zealous of the Law.
21:21	And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Iewes which are among the Gentiles, to forsake Moses, saying, that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walke after the customes.
21:22	What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will heare that thou art come.
21:23	Doe therefore this that we say to thee: Wee haue foure men which haue a vow on them,
21:24	Then take, and purifie thy selfe with them, & bee at charges with them, that they may shaue their heads: and all may know that those things wherof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing, but that thou thy selfe also walkest orderly, and keepest the Law.
21:25	As touching the Gentiles which beleeue, wee haue written and concluded, that they obserue no such thing, saue onely that they keepe themselues from things offered to idoles, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
21:26	Then Paul tooke the men, and the next day purifying himselfe with them, entred into the Temple, to signifie the accomplishment of the dayes of purification, vntill that an offering should be offered for euery one of them:
21:27	And when the seuen dayes were almost ended, the Iewes which were of Asia, when they saw him in the Temple, stirred vp all the people, and laide hands on him,
21:28	Crying out, Men of Israel, helpe: this is ye man that teacheth al men euery where against the people, and the law, and this place: and farther brought Greeks also into the Temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
21:29	(For they had seene before with him in the citie, Trophimus an Ephesian, whome they supposed that Paul had brought into the Temple.)
21:30	And all the citie was moued, and the people ran together: and they tooke Paul, and drew him out of the Temple: and forthwith the doores were shut.
21:31	And as they went about to kil him, tidings came vnto the chiefe captaine of the band, that all Hierusalem was in an vprore.
21:32	Who immediatly tooke souldiers, and Centurions, and ran downe vnto them: and when they saw the chiefe captaine and the souldiers, they left beating of Paul.
21:33	Then the chiefe captain came neere, and tooke him, & commanded him to be bound with two chains, and demanded who he was, and what hee had done.
21:34	And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certaintie for the tumult, he commanded him to be caried into the castle.
21:35	And when he came vpon ye staires, so it was that he was borne of the souldiers, for the violence of the people.
21:36	For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
21:37	And as Paul was to bee led into the castle, hee saide vnto the chiefe captaine, May I speake vnto thee? Who saide, Canst thou speake Greeke?
21:38	Art not thou that Egyptian which before these daies madest an vprore, and leddest out into the wildernesse foure thousand men that were murtherers?
21:39	But Paul said, I am a man which am a Iew of Tarsus, a citie in Cilicia, a citizen of no meane citie: & I beseech thee suffer me to speake vnto the people.
21:40	And when he had giuen him licence, Paul stood on the staires, and beckened with the hand vnto the people: and when there was made a great silence, he spake vnto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying.
