DAY 22
AC-20:25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have
gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
AC-20:26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I [am]
pure
from the blood of all [men].
AC-20:27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the
counsel
of God.
AC-20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the
flock,
over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed
the
church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
AC-20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous
wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
AC-20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking
perverse
things, to draw away disciples after them.
AC-20:31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of
three
years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
AC-20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the
word
of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an
inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
AC-20:33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
AC-20:34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have
ministered
unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
AC-20:35 I have showed you all things, how that so labouring ye
ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord
Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
AC-20:36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and
prayed
with them all.
AC-20:37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and
kissed him,
AC-20:38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake,
that
they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto
the
ship.
*AC-21:1 And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from
them,
and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and
the
[day] following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
AC-21:2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went
aboard, and set forth.
AC-21:3 Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the
left
hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the
ship
was to unlade her burden.
AC-21:4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who
said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to
Jerusalem.
AC-21:5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and
went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and
children, till [we were] out of the city: and we kneeled down on
the
shore, and prayed.
AC-21:6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took
ship; and they returned home again.
AC-21:7 And when we had finished [our] course from Tyre, we
came to
Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
AC-21:8 And the next [day] we that were of Paul's company
departed,
and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip
the
evangelist, which was [one] of the seven; and abode with him.
AC-21:9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did
prophesy.
AC-21:10 And as we tarried [there] many days, there came down
from
Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
AC-21:11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle,
and
bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy
Ghost,
So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this
girdle,
and shall deliver [him] into the hands of the Gentiles.
AC-21:12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of
that
place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
AC-21:13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break
mine
heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at
Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
AC-21:14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying,
The
will of the Lord be done.
AC-21:15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and
went up
to Jerusalem.
AC-21:16 There went with us also [certain] of the disciples of
Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old
disciple, with whom we should lodge.
AC-21:17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren
received
us gladly.
AC-21:18 And the [day] following Paul went in with us unto
James;
and all the elders were present.
AC-21:19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly
what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
AC-21:20 And when they heard [it], they glorified the Lord, and
said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews
there
are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
AC-21:21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all
the
Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that
they
ought not to circumcise [their] children, neither to walk after
the
customs.
