21:5. And the days being expired, departing we went forward, they all
bringing us on our way, with their wives and children, till we were out
of the city. And we kneeled down on the shore: and we prayed.
21:6. And when we had bid one another farewell, we took ship. And they
returned home.
21:7. But we, having finished the voyage by sea, from Tyre came down to
Ptolemais: and saluting the brethren, we abode one day with them.
21:8. And the next day departing, we came to Caesarea. And entering into
the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode
with him.
The evangelist... That is, the preacher of the gospel; the same that
before converted the Samaritans, and baptized the eunuch, chap. 8.,
being one of the first seven deacons.
21:9. And he had four daughters, virgins, who did prophesy.
21:10. And as we tarried there for some days, there came from Judea a
certain prophet, named Agabus.
21:11. Who, when he was come to us, took Paul's girdle: and binding his
own feet and hands, he said: Thus saith the Holy Ghost: The man whose
girdle this is, the Jews shall bind in this manner in Jerusalem and
shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
21:12. Which when we had heard, both we and they that were of that place
desired him that he would not go up to Jerusalem.
21:13. Then Paul answered and said: What do you mean, weeping and
afflicting my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but to die
also in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.
21:14. And when we could not persuade him, we ceased, saying: The will
of the Lord be done.
21:15. And after those days, being prepared, we went up to Jerusalem.
21:16. And there went also with us some of the disciples from Caesarea,
bringing with them one Mnason a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we
should lodge.
21:17. And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us
gladly.
21:18. And the day following, Paul went in with us unto James: and all
the ancients were assembled.
21:19. Whom when he had saluted, he related particularly what things God
had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
21:20. But they hearing it, glorified God and said to him: Thou seest,
brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews that have believed:
and they are all zealous for the law.
21:21. Now they have heard of thee that thou teachest those Jews, who
are among the Gentiles to depart from Moses: saying that they ought not
to circumcise their children, nor walk according to the custom.
21:22. What is it therefore? The multitude must needs come together: for
they will hear that thou art come.
21:23. Do therefore this that we say to thee. We have four men, who have
a vow on them.
21:24. Take these and sanctify thyself with them: and bestow on them,
that they may shave their heads. And all will know that the things which
they have heard of these are false: but that thou thyself also walkest
keeping the law.
Keeping the law... The law, though now no longer obligatory, was for a
time observed by the Christian Jews: to bury, as it were, the synagogue
with honour.
21:25. But, as touching the Gentiles that believe, we have written,
decreeing that they should only refrain themselves from that which has
been offered to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from
fornication.
