Acts 21

Paul and his company sail from Miletus, and come to Coos, Rhodes, and Patara, Acts 21:1 . Finding a Phoenician ship at Patara, they go on board, sail past Cyprus, and land at Tyre, Acts 21:2 , Acts 21:3 . Here they find disciples, and stay seven days, and are kindly entertained, Acts 21:4 , Acts 21:5 . Having bade the disciples farewell, they take ship and sail to Ptolemais, salute the brethren, stay with them one day, come to Caesarea, and lodge with Philip, one of the seven deacons, Acts 21:6-9 . Here they tarry a considerable time, and Agabus the prophet foretells Paul's persecution at Jerusalem, Acts 21:10 , Acts 21:11 . The disciples endeavor to dissuade him from going; but he is resolute, and he and his company depart, Acts 21:12-16 . They are kindly received by James and the elders, who advise Paul, because of the Jews, to show his respect for the law of Moses, by purifying himself, with certain others that were under a vow; with which advice he complies, Acts 21:17-26 . Some of the Asiatic Jews, finding him in the temple, raise an insurrection against him, and would have killed him had he not been rescued by the chief captain, who orders him to be bound and carried into the castle, Acts 21:27-36 . Paul requests liberty to address the people, and is permitted, Acts 21:37-40 .
