1When it came about that we were to be led out after we had been drawn away from them, we sailed straight and arrived at Cos; then on the following day at Rhodes, and from there at Patara.2And finding a boat crossing to Phoenicia, we boarded it and put out to sea.3When we sighted Cyprus and left it on our left, we sailed on to Syria and landed at Tyre, because the boat was unloading its cargo there.4We located the disciples and stayed with them seven days. Through the Spirit they kept urging Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.5When it came about that we had finished the days, we went out and were going on our way, with all accompanying us, together with women and children, until we were outside the city; and kneeling on the shore we prayed.6We said farewell to one another, boarded the ship, and the others returned to their homes.7We continued the voyage from Tyre and arrived at Ptolemais, and after greeting the brothers we stayed with them one day.8The next day we left and came to Caesarea. We entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.9He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.10While we were staying there for several days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.11And coming to us and taking up the belt of Paul, binding his own feet and hands, he said, This says the Holy Spirit: The man whose belt this is, thus they will bind in Jerusalem, the Jews, and deliver into the hands of Gentiles.12When we heard this, both we and the local residents begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.13Then Paul answered, What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.14Since he would not be persuaded, we stopped urging him and said, The Lord's will be done.15After these days we made preparations and went up to Jerusalem.16Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us and brought us to the home of Mnason, an early disciple from Cyprus, where we were to stay.
