1So, we bounced from them and set sail straight to Coos, then hit up Rhodes, and after that, Patara was our vibe.

2We found a ship cruising to Phenicia, so we hopped on and took off.

3After we spotted Cyprus, we left it chillin’ to our left and cruised to Syria, landing at Tyre 'cause that ship was ready to drop its load.

4We found some disciples and kicked it there for seven days; they told Paul through the Spirit, “No cap, don’t head to Jerusalem.”

5Once we wrapped up those days, we dipped out; everyone was sending us off with their fams until we were out of the city. We knelt on the shore and prayed, periodt.

6After saying our goodbyes, we took off on the ship; they went back home.

7After we wrapped up our journey from Tyre, we hit up Ptolemais, greeted the bros, and stayed for a day.

8The next day, us from Paul’s squad bounced to Cesarea and crashed at Philip the evangelist’s place, one of the seven.

9This dude had four daughters who were all virgins and were out here prophesying.

10While we were chilling there for a minute, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

11When he rolled up on us, he grabbed Paul’s belt, tied up his own hands and feet, and said, "Holy Ghost vibes, the Jews in Jerusalem gonna bind the dude with this belt and hand him over to the Gentiles."

12When we heard this, we all, including the locals, were like, "Nah fam, don’t go to Jerusalem."

13Paul was like, "Why y’all trippin’ and breaking my heart? I’m ready to get bound or even die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus, no cap."

14When he wouldn’t be convinced, we just said, "Whatever the Lord wants, let it pop off."

15After those days, we packed our stuff and headed to Jerusalem.

16Some of the homies from Cesarea came with us, bringing along Mnason from Cyprus, an old-school disciple, where we planned to crash.

17When we got to Jerusalem, the bros welcomed us with mad love.

18The next day, Paul went in with us to see James, and all the elders were there, vibing.

19After he greeted them, he shared all the lit things God did through him among the Gentiles.

20When they heard it, they praised the Lord and said, "You see, bro, there are thousands of Jews who believe, and they’re all super hyped about the law."

21They heard you’re telling all the Jews chillin' with the Gentiles to ditch Moses, saying they shouldn’t circumcise their kids or follow the customs. No cap.

22So what’s the deal? Everyone’s gotta pull up 'cause they wanna see you, fr.

23Here’s the plan: We got four dudes with a vow, bet.

24Take them, vibe check, and purify yourself with them, cover the costs so they can shave their heads: then everyone will know that the tea about you is sus; you’re just living right and keeping the law.

25As for the Gentiles who believe, we wrote that they don’t need to do all that, just stay away from idol food, blood, strangled stuff, and fornication, periodt.

26So Paul took the guys, and the next day he purified himself with them and rolled into the temple to show he’s on that purification grind until an offering was made for each of them.

27When the seven days were almost up, the Jews from Asia saw him in the temple and got everyone hyped, laying hands on him, savage.

28They shouted, "Yo, Men of Israel, help! This dude teaches everyone everywhere against the people, the law, and this place, and even brought Greeks into the temple, making it all sus."

29(They had seen Trophimus, an Ephesian, with him in the city, thinking Paul brought him into the temple.)

30The whole city was shook, and people ran together; they grabbed Paul and pulled him out of the temple, and the doors were shut, lit.

31So they were about to take him out, and the chief captain got the scoop that all of Jerusalem was wildin’.

32He straight up grabbed some soldiers and ran down to see what’s good, and when they saw him, they dipped on beating Paul.

33The chief captain rolled up, grabbed Paul, and was like, "Yo, chain him up and tell me who you are and what’s the tea?"

34Some peeps were yelling one thing, others were saying something else, and since it was all chaotic, he told them to take him to the castle.

35When he hit the stairs, the soldiers were carrying him because the crowd was just too lit.

36The crowd was following, yelling, "Get rid of him!"

37As Paul was being led into the castle, he asked the chief captain, "Can I talk to you?" He was like, "You can speak Greek?"

38Aren’t you that Egyptian dude who caused a scene and led out four thousand murderers into the wild?

39But Paul was like, "Nah fam, I’m just a Jew from Tarsus, a legit city; please let me talk to the people."

40When he got the green light, Paul stood on the stairs, waved to the crowd, and when it got quiet, he started speaking to them in Hebrew, saying,

1And 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:

2And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.

3Now 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.

4And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

5And 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.

6And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.

7And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.

8And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.

9And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

10And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judea a certain prophet, named Agabus.

11And 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.

12And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

13Then 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.

14And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

15And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.

16There went with us also certain of the disciples of Cesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.

17And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

18And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.

19And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

20And 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:

21And 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.

22What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.

23Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;

24Them 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 that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.

25As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.

26Then 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.

27And 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,

28Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.

29(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)

30And 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.

31And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

32Who 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.

33Then 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.

34And 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.

35And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.

36For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.

37And 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?

38Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?

39But 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 unto the people.

40And 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 tongue, saying,
