21:1  cum autem factum esset ut              1.  And it came to pass, that after we
navigaremus abstracti ab eis recto           were gotten from them, and had
cursu venimus Cho et sequenti die            launched, we came with a straight
Rhodum et inde Patara                        course unto Coos, and the day following
                                             unto Rhodes, and from thence unto
                                             Patara:

21:2  et cum invenissemus navem              2.  And finding a ship sailing over
transfretantem in Foenicen ascendentes       unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set
navigavimus                                  forth.

21:3  cum paruissemus autem Cypro et         3.  Now when we had discovered Cyprus,
relinquentes eam ad sinistram                we left it on the left hand, and sailed
navigabamus in Syriam et venimus Tyrum       into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for
ibi enim navis erat expositura onus          there the ship was to unlade her burden.

21:4  inventis autem discipulis              4.  And finding disciples, we tarried
mansimus ibi diebus septem qui Paulo         there seven days: who said to Paul
dicebant per Spiritum ne ascenderet          through the Spirit, that he should not
Hierosolymam                                 go up to Jerusalem.

21:5  et explicitis diebus profecti          5.  And when we had accomplished those
ibamus deducentibus nos omnibus cum          days, we departed and went our way; and
uxoribus et filiis usque foras               they all brought us on our way, with
civitatem et positis genibus in litore       wives and children, till we were out of
oravimus                                     the city: and we kneeled down on the
                                             shore, and prayed.

21:6  et cum valefecissemus invicem          6.  And when we had taken our leave one
ascendimus in navem illi autem               of another, we took ship; and they
redierunt in sua                             returned home again.

21:7  nos vero navigatione explicita a       7.  And when we had finished our course
Tyro descendimus Ptolomaida et               from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and
salutatis fratribus mansimus die una         saluted the brethren, and abode with
apud illos                                   them one day.

21:8  alia autem die profecti venimus        8.  And the next day we that were of
Caesaream et intrantes in domum              Paul's company departed, and came unto
Philippi evangelistae qui erat de            Caesarea: and we entered into the house
septem mansimus apud eum                     of Philip the evangelist, which was one
                                             of the seven; and abode with him.

21:9  huic autem erant filiae quattuor       9.  And the same man had four
virgines prophetantes                        daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

21:10  et cum moraremur per dies             10.  And as we tarried there many days,
aliquot supervenit quidam a Iudaea           there came down from Judaea a certain
propheta nomine Agabus                       prophet, named Agabus.

21:11  is cum venisset ad nos tulit          11.  And when he was come unto us, he
zonam Pauli et alligans sibi pedes et        took Paul's girdle, and bound his own
manus dixit haec dicit Spiritus Sanctus      hands and feet, and said, Thus saith
virum cuius est zona haec sic                the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at
alligabunt in Hierusalem Iudaei et           Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this
tradent in manus gentium                     girdle, and shall deliver him into the
                                             hands of the Gentiles.

21:12  quod cum audissemus rogabamus         12.  And when we heard these things,
nos et qui loci illius erant ne              both we, and they of that place,
ascenderet Hierosolymam                      besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

21:13  tunc respondit Paulus et dixit        13.  Then Paul answered, What mean ye
quid facitis flentes et adfligentes cor      to weep and to break mine heart? for I
meum ego enim non solum alligari sed et      am ready not to be bound only, but also
mori in Hierusalem paratus sum propter       to die at Jerusalem for the name of the
nomen Domini Iesu                            Lord Jesus.

21:14  et cum ei suadere non possemus        14.  And when he would not be
quievimus dicentes Domini voluntas fiat      persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will
                                             of the Lord be done.

21:15  post dies autem istos praeparati      15.  And after those days we took up
ascendebamus Hierusalem                      our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.

21:16  venerunt autem et ex discipulis       16.  There went with us also certain of
a Caesarea nobiscum adducentes apud          the disciples of Caesarea, and brought
quem hospitaremur Mnasonem quendam           with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old
Cyprium antiquum discipulum                  disciple, with whom we should lodge.

21:17  et cum venissemus Hierosolymam        17.  And when we were come to
libenter exceperunt nos fratres              Jerusalem, the brethren received us
                                             gladly.

21:18  sequenti autem die introibat          18.  And the day following Paul went in
Paulus nobiscum ad Iacobum omnesque          with us unto James; and all the elders
collecti sunt seniores                       were present.

21:19  quos cum salutasset narrabat per      19.  And when he had saluted them, he
singula quae fecisset Deus in gentibus       declared particularly what things God
per ministerium ipsius                       had wrought among the Gentiles by his
                                             ministry.

21:20  at illi cum audissent                 20.  And when they heard it, they
magnificabant Deum dixeruntque ei vides      glorified the Lord, and said unto him,
frater quot milia sint in Iudaeis qui        Thou seest, brother, how many thousands
crediderunt et omnes aemulatores sunt        of Jews there are which believe; and
legis                                        they are all zealous of the law:

21:21  audierunt autem de te quia            21.  And they are informed of thee,
discessionem doceas a Mose eorum qui         that thou teachest all the Jews which
per gentes sunt Iudaeorum dicens non         are among the Gentiles to forsake
debere circumcidere eos filios suos          Moses, saying that they ought not to
neque secundum consuetudinem ingredi         circumcise their children, neither to
                                             walk after the customs.

21:22  quid ergo est utique oportet          22.  What is it therefore? the
convenire multitudinem audient enim te       multitude must needs come together: for
supervenisse                                 they will hear that thou art come.

21:23  hoc ergo fac quod tibi dicimus        23.  Do therefore this that we say to
sunt nobis viri quattuor votum habentes      thee: We have four men which have a vow
super se                                     on them;

21:24  his adsumptis sanctifica te cum       24.  Them take, and purify thyself with
illis et inpende in illis ut radant          them, and be at charges with them, that
capita et scient omnes quia quae de te       they may shave their heads: and all may
audierunt falsa sunt sed ambulas et          know that those things, whereof they
ipse custodiens legem                        were informed concerning thee, are
                                             nothing; but that thou thyself also
                                             walkest orderly, and keepest the law.

21:25  de his autem qui crediderunt ex       25.  As touching the Gentiles which
gentibus nos scripsimus iudicantes ut        believe, we have written and concluded
abstineant se ab idolis immolato et          that they observe no such thing, save
sanguine et suffocato et fornicatione        only that they keep themselves from
                                             things offered to idols, and from
                                             blood, and from strangled, and from
                                             fornication.

21:26  tunc Paulus adsumptis viris           26.  Then Paul took the men, and the
postera die purificatus cum illis            next day purifying himself with them
intravit in templum adnuntians               entered into the temple, to signify the
expletionem dierum purificationis donec      accomplishment of the days of
offerretur pro unoquoque eorum oblatio       purification, until that an offering
                                             should be offered for every one of them.

21:27  dum autem septem dies                 27.  And when the seven days were
consummarentur hii qui de Asia erant         almost ended, the Jews which were of
Iudaei cum vidissent eum in templo           Asia, when they saw him in the temple,
concitaverunt omnem populum et               stirred up all the people, and laid
iniecerunt ei manus clamantes                hands on him,

21:28  viri israhelitae adiuvate hic         28.  Crying out, Men of Israel, help:
est homo qui adversus populum et legem       This is the man, that teacheth all men
et locum hunc omnes ubique docens            every where against the people, and the
insuper et gentiles induxit in templum       law, and this place: and further

                                             and hath polluted this holy place.

21:29  viderant enim Trophimum Ephesium      29.  (For they had seen before with him
in civitate cum ipso quem aestimaverunt      in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom
quoniam in templum induxisset Paulus         they supposed that Paul had brought
                                             into the temple.)

21:30  commotaque est civitas tota et        30.  And all the city was moved, and
facta est concursio populi et                the people ran together: and they took
adprehendentes Paulum trahebant eum          Paul, and drew him out of the temple:
extra templum et statim clausae sunt         and forthwith the doors were shut.
ianuae

21:31  quaerentibus autem eum occidere       31.  And as they went about to kill
nuntiatum est tribuno cohortis quia          him, tidings came unto the chief
tota confunditur Hierusalem                  captain of the band, that all Jerusalem
                                             was in an uproar.

21:32  qui statim adsumptis militibus        32.  Who immediately took soldiers and
et centurionibus decucurrit ad illos         centurions, and ran down unto them: and
qui cum vidissent tribunum et milites        when they saw the chief captain and the
cessaverunt percutere Paulum                 soldiers, they left beating of Paul.

21:33  tunc accedens tribunus                33.  Then the chief captain came near,
adprehendit eum et iussit alligari           and took him, and commanded him to be
catenis duabus et interrogabat quis          bound with two chains; and demanded who
esset et quid fecisset                       he was, and what he had done.

21:34  alii autem aliud clamabant in         34.  And some cried one thing, some
turba et cum non posset certum               another, among the multitude: and when
cognoscere prae tumultu iussit duci eum      he could not know the certainty for the
in castra                                    tumult, he commanded him to be carried
                                             into the castle.

21:35  et cum venisset ad gradus             35.  And when he came upon the stairs,
contigit ut portaretur a militibus           so it was, that he was borne of the
propter vim populi                           soldiers for the violence of the people.

21:36  sequebatur enim multitudo populi      36.  For the multitude of the people
clamans tolle eum                            followed after, crying, Away with him.

21:37  et cum coepisset induci in            37.  And as Paul was to be led into the
castra Paulus dicit tribuno si licet         castle, he said unto the chief captain,
mihi loqui aliquid ad te qui dixit           May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst
graece nosti                                 thou speak Greek?

21:38  nonne tu es Aegyptius qui ante        38.  Art not thou that Egyptian, which
hos dies tumultum concitasti et              before these days madest an uproar, and
eduxisti in desertum quattuor milia          leddest out into the wilderness four
virorum sicariorum                           thousand men that were murderers?

21:39  et dixit ad eum Paulus ego homo       39.  But Paul said, I am a man which am
sum quidem iudaeus a Tarso Ciliciae non      a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a
ignotae civitatis municeps rogo autem        citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech
te permitte mihi loqui ad populum            thee, suffer me to speak unto the
                                             people.

21:40  et cum ille permisisset Paulus        40.  And when he had given him licence,
stans in gradibus annuit manu ad plebem      Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned
et magno silentio facto adlocutus est        with the hand unto the people. And when
hebraea lingua dicens                        there was made a great silence, he
                                             spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue,
                                             saying,
