Acts 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:
1 Cum autem factum esset ut navigaremus abstracti ab eis, recto cursu venimus Coum, et sequenti die Rhodum, et inde Pataram.
2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
2 Et cum invenissemus navem transfretantem in Phœnicen, ascendentes navigavimus.
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.
3 Cum apparuissemus autem Cypro, relinquentes eam ad sinistram, navigavimus in Syriam, et venimus Tyrum: ibi enim navis expositura erat onus.
4 And
ℵBA ⟨But⟩
finding disciples, we tarried thereA ⟨with them⟩
seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.4 Inventis autem discipulis, mansimus ibi diebus septem: qui Paulo dicebant per Spiritum ne ascenderet Jerosolymam.
5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and
A omit
went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we wereℵ omit
out of the city: and we kneeledℵBA ⟨when we had knelt⟩
down on the shore, and prayed.ℵBA ⟨prayed,⟩
5 Et expletis diebus, profecti ibamus, deducentibus nos omnibus cum uxoribus et filiis usque foras civitatem: et positis genibus in littore, oravimus.
6 And when we had taken
ℵBA ⟨We took⟩
our leave one of another, we tookℵBA ⟨and entered into the⟩
ship; and they returned home again.6 Et cum valefecissemus invicem, ascendimus navem: illi autem redierunt in sua.
7 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
7 Nos vero navigatione expleta a Tyro descendimus Ptolemaidam: et salutatis fratribus, mansimus die una apud illos.
8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company
ℵBA omit
departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.8 Alia autem die profecti, venimus Cæsaream. Et intrantes domum Philippi evangelistæ, qui erat unus de septem, mansimus apud eum.
9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
9 Huic autem erant quatuor filiæ virgines prophetantes.
10 And as we
ℵ ⟨they⟩
tarried there many days, there came down from Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus.10 ¶ Et cum moraremur per dies aliquot, supervenit quidam a Judæa propheta, nomine Agabus.
11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet
ℵB ⟨feet and hands⟩
, 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.11 Is cum venisset ad nos, tulit zonam Pauli: et alligans sibi pedes et manus, dixit: Hæc dicit Spiritus Sanctus: Virum, cujus est zona hæc, sic alligabunt in Jerusalem Judæi, et tradent in manus gentium.
12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
12 Quod cum audissemus, rogabamus nos, et qui loci illius erant, ne ascenderet Jerosolymam.
13 Then Paul answered
ℵA ⟨answered and said⟩
, What mean ye to weep andℵ omit
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.13 Tunc respondit Paulus, et dixit: Quid facitis flentes, et affligentes cor meum? Ego enim non solum alligari, sed et mori in Jerusalem paratus sum propter nomen Domini Jesu.
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
14 Et cum ei suadere non possemus, quievimus, dicentes: Domini voluntas fiat.
15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
15 ¶ Post dies autem istos, præparati ascendebamus in Jerusalem.
16 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Cæsarea, and brought with them one Mnason
B ⟨Mnasus⟩
of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.16 Venerunt autem et ex discipulis a Cæsarea nobiscum, adducentes secum apud quem hospitaremur Mnasonem quemdam Cyprium, antiquum discipulum.
17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
17 Et cum venissemus Jerosolymam, libenter exceperunt nos fratres.
18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
18 ¶ Sequenti autem die introibat Paulus nobiscum ad Jacobum, omnesque collecti sunt seniores.
19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by
ℵ ⟨of⟩
his ministry.19 Quos cum salutasset, narrabat per singula quæ Deus fecisset in gentibus per ministerium ipsius.
20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord
ℵBA ⟨God⟩
, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of JewsBA ⟨among the Jews⟩; ℵ omit
there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:20 At illi cum audissent, magnificabant Deum, dixeruntque ei: Vides, frater, quot millia sunt in Judæis qui crediderunt, et omnes æmulatores sunt legis.
21 And
ℵ omit
they are informed of thee, that thou teachest allA omit
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.21 Audierunt autem de te quia discessionem doceas a Moyse eorum qui per gentes sunt Judæorum, dicens non debere eos circumcidere filios suos, neque secundum consuetudinem ingredi.
22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will
B ⟨They will needs⟩
hear that thou art come.22 Quid ergo est? utique oportet convenire multitudinem: audient enim te supervenisse.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
23 Hoc ergo fac quod tibi dicimus. Sunt nobis viri quatuor, votum habentes super se.
24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but
A ⟨but also⟩
that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.24 His assumptis, sanctifica te cum illis, et impende in illis ut radant capita: et scient omnes quia quæ de te audierunt, falsa sunt, sed ambulas et ipse custodiens legem.
25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only
ℵBA omit
that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.25 De his autem qui crediderunt ex gentibus, nos scripsimus judicantes ut abstineant se ab idolis immolato, et sanguine, et suffocato, et fornicatione.
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
26 Tunc Paulus, assumptis viris, postera die purificatus cum illis intravit in templum, annuntians expletionem dierum purificationis, donec offerretur pro unoquoque eorum oblatio.
27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
27 ¶ Dum autem septem dies consummarentur, hi qui de Asia erant Judæi, cum vidissent eum in templo, concitaverunt omnem populum, et injecerunt ei manus, clamantes:
28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place
A ⟨holy place⟩
: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.28 Viri Israëlitæ, adjuvate: hic est homo qui adversus populum, et legem, et locum hunc, omnes ubique docens, insuper et gentiles induxit in templum, et violavit sanctum locum istum.
29 (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
29 Viderant enim Trophimum Ephesium in civitate cum ipso, quem æstimaverunt quoniam in templum introduxisset Paulus.
30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.
30 Commotaque est civitas tota, et facta est concursio populi. Et apprehendentes Paulum, trahebant eum extra templum: et statim clausæ sunt januæ.
31 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
31 Quærentibus autem eum occidere, nuntiatum est tribuno cohortis quia tota confunditur Jerusalem.
32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
32 Qui statim, assumptis militibus et centurionibus, decurrit ad illos. Qui cum vidissent tribunum et milites, cessaverunt percutere Paulum.
33 Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
33 Tunc accedens tribunus apprehendit eum, et jussit eum alligari catenis duabus: et interrogabat quis esset, et quid fecisset.
34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
34 Alii autem aliud clamabant in turba. Et cum non posset certum cognoscere præ tumultu, jussit duci eum in castra.
35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
35 Et cum venisset ad gradus, contigit ut portaretur a militibus propter vim populi.
36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
36 Sequebatur enim multitudo populi, clamans: Tolle eum.
37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
37 Et cum cœpisset induci in castra Paulus, dicit tribuno: Si licet mihi loqui aliquid ad te? Qui dixit: Græce nosti?
38 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
38 nonne tu es Ægyptius, qui ante hos dies tumultum concitasti, et eduxisti in desertum quatuor millia virorum sicariorum?
39 But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak
ℵ ⟨speak a word⟩
unto the people.39 Et dixit ad eum Paulus: Ego homo sum quidem Judæus a Tarso Ciliciæ, non ignotæ civitatis municeps. Rogo autem te, permitte mihi loqui ad populum.
40 And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew
A ⟨their own⟩
tongue, saying,40 Et cum ille permisisset, Paulus stans in gradibus annuit manu ad plebem, et magno silentio facto, allocutus est lingua hebræa, dicens:
