                                                                                       Acts 21:27-36 When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and laid hands on him, crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and the law and this place. Moreover, he even brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place.”   For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple. Then all the city was stirred up, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged h...

Acts 21:17-26

                                                                                  Acts 21:17-26 When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.    On the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.    After greeting them, he related one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.    And when they heard it, they glorified God. And they said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed. They are all zealous for the law,   and they have been told about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, tell...

Acts 21:7-16

Acts 21:7-16 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and we greeted   the brothers and stayed with them for one day.   On the next day we departed and came to Caesarea, and we entered the house of   Philip   the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him. He had four unmarried daughters,   who prophesied. While we were staying for many days, a prophet named   Agabus came down from Judea. And coming to us, he   took Paul's belt and bound his own feet and hands and said,   “Thus says the Holy Spirit,   ‘This is how the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and   deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”   When we heard this, we and the people there   urged him not to go up to Jerusalem. Then Paul answered,   “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For   I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem   for the name of the ...

                                                                                       Acts 21:1-6 And when we had parted from them and set sail, we came by a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara. And having found a ship crossing to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.   When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload its cargo.   And having sought out the disciples, we stayed there for seven days. And through the Spirit they were telling Paul not to go on to Jerusalem.   When our days there were ended, we departed and went on our journey, and they all, with wives and children,...

Acts 20:25-38

                                                                                       Acts 20:25-38 And now, behold,   I know that none of you among whom I have gone about   proclaiming the kingdom will see my face again.   Therefore   I testify to you this day that   I am innocent of the blood of all,   for   I did not shrink from declaring to you   the whole counsel of God.   Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all   the flock, in which   the Holy Spirit has made you   overseers,   to care for   the church of God, which he   obtained   with his own blood. I   know that after my departure   fierce wolves will come in among you,  ...

Acts 20:17-24

                                                                             Acts 20:17-24 Now from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called   the elders of the church to come to him.   And when they came to him, he said to them:   “You yourselves know   how I lived among you the whole time   from the first day that I set foot in Asia,   serving the Lord   with all humility and with   tears and with trials that happened to me through   the plots of the Jews;   how I   did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and   teaching you in public and from house to house,   testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of   repentance toward God and of   faith in our Lord Jesus Chris...

                                                                                       Acts 20:7-16 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together   to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight.   There were many lamps in   the upper room where we were gathered.   And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he   fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.   But Paul went down and   bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said,   “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.”   And when Paul had gone ...
