39;
39 Paul answered, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no
ordinary city. Please let me speak to the people.” (3)
138
34 Some in the crowd shouted one thing and
some another, and since the commander could not get at the
truth because of the uproar,
he ordered that Paul be taken into the barracks. (7)
35 When
Paul reached the steps, the violence of the mob was so great he had to be carried by the soldiers.
36 The
crowd that followed kept shouting, “Get rid of him!”
369
26 The
next day Paul took the men and purified himself along with them. Then he went
to the temple to give notice of the date when the days of purification would
end and the offering would be made for each of them.
Paul Arrested
27 When the seven days were nearly over, some Jews from the
province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and
seized him,
369
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea
accompanied us and brought us to the home of Mnason, where we were to stay. He
was a man from Cyprus and one of the early disciples. (7)
Paul’s Arrival at Jerusalem
17 When
we arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers and sisters received us warmly.
18 The
next day Paul and the rest of us went to see James, and all the elders were
present. 19 Paul greeted them and reported in detail what God
had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
369
7 We continued our voyage from Tyre and
landed at Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and sisters and stayed with
them for a day.
(7)
8 Leaving the next day, we reached
Caesarea and stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist, One
of the Seven.
9 He
had four
unmarried daughters who prophesied. 1 & 4 & 7
is the symbol of Bible.
369
40 After receiving the commander’s
permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned to the crowd. When they were
all silent, he said to them in Aramaic
(4)
147
31 While they were trying to kill him, news
reached the commander of the Roman troops that the whole city of Jerusalem was
in an uproar. (4)
32 He
at once took some officers and soldiers and ran down to the crowd. When the
rioters saw the commander and his soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
33 The
commander came up and arrested him and ordered him to be bound with two
chains. Then he asked who he was and what he had done.
369
22 What shall we do? They will certainly hear
that you have come, (4)
23 so
do what we tell you. There are four men with us who have made a vow.
24 Take
these men, join in their purification rites and pay their expenses, so that
they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know there is no truth in
these reports about you, but that you yourself are living in obedience to the law.
369
13 Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready
not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” (4)
14 When
he would not be dissuaded, we gave up and said, “The Lord’s will be done.”
15 After
this, we started on our way up to Jerusalem.
369
4 We sought out the disciples there and
stayed with them seven days.
Through the Spirit they urged Paul not to go on to Jerusalem. (4)
5 When
it was time to leave, we left and continued on our way. All of them, including
wives and children, accompanied us out of the city, and there on the beach we
knelt to pray.
6 After
saying goodbye to each other, we went aboard the ship, and they returned home.

Paul Speaks to the Crowd
37 As the soldiers were about to take Paul
into the barracks, he asked the commander, “May
I say something to you?” “Do you speak Greek?” he replied. (1)
38 “Aren’t
you the Egyptian who started a revolt and led four thousand terrorists
out into the wilderness some time ago?”
39 Paul
answered, “I
am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no ordinary city. Please let me
speak to the people.”
138
28 shouting, “Fellow Israelites, help us!
This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people and our law
and this place. And besides, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled
this holy place.”
(1)
29 (They
had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with Paul and assumed
that Paul had brought him into the temple.)
30 The
whole city was aroused, and the people came running from all directions.
Seizing Paul, they dragged him from the temple, and immediately the gates were
shut.
138
19 Paul greeted them and reported in detail
what God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry. (1)
20 When
they heard this, they praised God. Then they said to Paul: “You see, brother, how many thousands
of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law.
21 They
have been informed that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to
turn away from Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or live
according to our customs.
138
On to Jerusalem
21 After
we had torn ourselves away from them, we put out to sea and sailed straight to
Kos. The next day we went to Rhodes and from there to Patara. (1)
2 We
found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, went on board and set sail.
3 After
sighting Cyprus and passing to the south of it, we sailed on to Syria.
We landed at Tyre, where our ship was to unload its cargo.
