And we separated from them and sailed straight to the island of Qo, and the next day we came to Rodos, and from there to Patara.

And we found there a ship going to Puniqia, and we went up into it and sailed on.

And we reached as far as the island of Qupros and left it on the left and came to Surya, and from there we reached Tsur, for there the ship was to unload its cargo.

And when we found disciples there, we stayed with them seven days, and these were saying every day to Paulos by the Ruach that he should not go to Urishlim.

And after these days we went out to go on the way, and they all were escorting us, they and their wives and their children, until outside the city, and they knelt on their knees by the sea and prayed.

And we kissed one another and went up into the ship, and they returned to their houses.

And we sailed from Tsur and came to the city Akko, and we gave peace to the brothers there, and stayed with them one day.

And on the next day we went out and came to Qesarya, and we entered and stayed in the house of Philippos the proclaimer, who was one of the seven.

And he had four virgin daughters who were prophesying.

And when we had been there many days, a certain prophet came down from Yehuda, whose name was Agabus.

And he came in to us, and took the belt of Paulos’s waist, and bound his own feet and hands, and said: Thus says the Ruach haKodesh, The man who owns this belt—thus will the Yehudaye bind him in Urishlim, and they will deliver him into the hands of the peoples.

And when we heard these words, we and the sons of the place begged him not to go to Urishlim.

Then Paulos answered and said: What are you doing, weeping and crushing my heart? For I am prepared not only to be bound, but also to die in Urishlim for the name of our Master Y'shua.

And when he would not be persuaded by us, we desisted, and we said: Let the will of our Master be.

And after these days we prepared and went up to Urishlim.

And some men, disciples from Caesarea, went with us, taking with them one brother from among the earlier disciples, whose name was Mnason, and he was from Cyprus, that he might receive us in his house.

And when we came to Urishlim, the brothers received us joyfully.

And the next day we went in with Paulos to Ya'akov, when all the elders were with him.

And we gave them peace, and Paulos was relating to them one after another all that Elohim had done among the peoples by his ministry.

And when they heard it they glorified Elohim. And they said to him: You see, our brother, how many myriads there are in Yehuda who have believed, and all these are zealous for the law.

But it has been told them about you that you teach all the Yehudaye who are among the peoples to depart from Moshe, when you say that they should not circumcise their sons and should not walk in the customs of the law.

Because therefore it is heard by them that you have come here,

do what we tell you. We have four men who have vowed to purify themselves.

Take them and go, purify yourself with them, and pay the expenses for them so that they may shave their heads, and it will be known to everyone that what was said against you is false, and that you fulfill and keep the law.

But as for those from the peoples who have believed, we have written that they should keep themselves from what is sacrificed, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.

Then Paulos took those men on the next day and was purified with them, and he went in to the temple, making known to them the completion of the days of purification until the offering was presented by each one of them.

And when the seventh day arrived, the Yehudaye from Asia saw him in the temple and stirred up all the people against him, and they laid hands on him,

crying out and saying, Men, sons of Yisrael, help! This is the man who teaches against our people in every place, and against the law, and against this place; and he has even brought Armaye 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 he had gone into the temple with Paulos.

And the city was stirred up, and all the people assembled, and they seized Paulos and dragged him outside the temple; and at once the gates were shut.

And while the crowd was seeking to kill him, it was reported to the chiliarch of the cohort that the whole city was stirred up.

And at once he took centurions and many soldiers, and they ran upon them. And when they saw the chiliarch and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paulos.

And the chiliarch came near to him and seized him and ordered that they bind him with two chains, and he was asking about him who he was and what he had done.

And people from the throng were shouting against him one thing and another. And because of their shouting he could not learn what the truth was, and he ordered that they bring him to the barracks.

And when Paulos reached the stairs, the soldiers carried him because of the violence of the people.

For a great many people were coming after him and shouting and saying, Take him away.

And when he came near to entering the castle, Paulos said to the chiliarch: Will you permit me to speak with you? And he said to him: Do you know Greek?

Are you not that Egyptian who before these days stirred up and led out into the desert four thousand men, doers of evil?

Paulos said to him: I am a Jewish man from Tarsus of Cilicia, a known city in which I was born. I ask of you, permit me to speak to the people.

And when he permitted him, Paulos stood on the stairs and waved his hand to them; and when they were quiet, he spoke with them in Hebrew and said to them:
