35 In all things I have shown you by example that atoiling in this way we ought to support 1the bweak and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, 2It is more blessed to cgive than to receive.
36 And when he had said these things, he aknelt down with them all and prayed.
37 And there was considerable weeping by all; and afalling on Paul’s neck, they kissed him affectionately,
38 Especially pained over the word which he had spoken, that they would no longer behold his aface. And they bescorted him to the ship.
CHAPTER 21
1 And when we parted from them and set sail, we took a straight course and came to Cos, and on the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 And having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went on board and set sail.
3 And when we sighted aCyprus and left it on the left, we sailed to bSyria and came down to Tyre; for there the ship was to unload its cargo.
4 And when we had sought out the disciples, we remained there seven days. These 1told Paul through the aSpirit bnot to set foot in cJerusalem.
5 And when we completed the days, we went forth and went on our way, with all of them, including the women and children, aescorting us until we were outside the city. And when we had bknelt down on the beach and prayed,
6 We took leave of one another and went on board the ship; and they returned home.
7 And when we finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we greeted the abrothers and remained with them one day.
8 And on the next day we went forth and came to aCaesarea; and entering into the 1house of bPhilip the cevangelist, who was one of the dseven, we remained with him.
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who aprophesied.
10 And while we remained there many days, a certain prophet named aAgabus came down from Judea.
11 And he came to us and took Paul’s abelt; and having bound his own feet and hands, he said, Thus 1says the Holy Spirit, In this way will the Jews in Jerusalem bbind the man whose belt this is and cdeliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 And when we heard these things, both 1we and those in that place entreated him anot to bgo up to Jerusalem.
13 Then Paul answered, What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to adie in Jerusalem for the bname of the Lord Jesus.
14 And since he would not be persuaded, we became silent, saying, The awill of the Lord be done.
