1 And after these things had happened, having reluctantly parted from them, we sailed a direct course, arriving at Cos, and on following the day at Rhodes, and from there to Patara.	1 Cum autem factum esset, ut navigaremus abstracti ab eis, recto cursuvenimus Cho et sequenti die Rhodum et inde Patara;
2 And when we had found a ship sailing across to Phoenicia, climbing aboard, we set sail.	2 et cum invenissemus navemtransfretantem in Phoenicen, ascendentes navigavimus.
3 Then, after we had caught sight of Cyprus, keeping it to the left, we sailed on to Syria, and we arrived at Tyre. For the ship was going to unload its cargo there.	3 Cum paruissemus autemCypro, et relinquentes eam ad sinistram navigabamus in Syriam et venimus Tyrum,ibi enim navis erat expositura onus.
4 Then, having found the disciples, we lodged there for seven days. And they were saying to Paul, through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.	4 Inventis autem discipulis, mansimus ibidiebus septem; qui Paulo dicebant per Spiritum, ne iret Hierosolymam.
5 And when the days were completed, setting out, we went on; and they all accompanied us with their wives and children, until we were outside of the city. And we kneeled down at the shore and prayed.	5 Etexplicitis diebus, profecti ibamus, deducentibus nos omnibus cum uxoribus etfiliis usque foras civitatem; et positis genibus in litore orantes,
6 And when we had said farewell to one another, we climbed aboard the ship. And they returned to their own.	6 valefecimus invicem et ascendimus in navem; illi autem redierunt in sua.
7 Yet truly, having completed our journey by boat from Tyre, we descended to Ptolemais. And greeting the brothers, we lodged with them for one day.	7 Nosvero, navigatione explicita, a Tyro devenimus Ptolemaida et, salutatisfratribus, mansimus die una apud illos.
8 Then, after setting out the next day, we arrived at Caesarea. And upon entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we stayed with him.	8 Alia autem die profecti venimus Caesaream et intrantes in domum Philippievangelistae, qui erat de septem, mansimus apud eum.
9 Now this man had four daughters, virgins, who were prophesying.	9 Huic autem erant filiaequattuor virgines prophetantes.
10 And while we were delayed for some days, a certain prophet from Judea, named Agabus, arrived.	10 Et cum moraremur plures dies, supervenitquidam a Iudaea propheta nomine Agabus;
11 And he, when he had come to us, took Paul’s belt, and binding his own feet and hands, he said: “Thus says the Holy Spirit: The man whose belt this is, the Jews will bind in this way at Jerusalem. And they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.”	11 is cum venisset ad nos et tulissetzonam Pauli, alligans sibi pedes et manus dixit: “ Haec dicit SpiritusSanctus: Virum, cuius est zona haec, sic alligabunt in Ierusalem Iudaei ettradent in manus gentium ”.
12 And when we had heard this, both we and those who were from that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.	12 Quod cum audissemus, rogabamus nos et, qui lociillius erant, ne ipse ascenderet Ierusalem.
13 Then Paul responded by saying: “What do you accomplish by weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am prepared, not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.”	13 Tunc respondit Paulus: “ Quidfacitis flentes et affligentes cor meum? Ego enim non solum alligari sed et moriin Ierusalem paratus sum propter nomen Domini Iesu ”.
14 And since we were not able to persuade him, we quieted, saying: “May the will of the Lord be done.”	14 Et cum ei suadere nonpossemus, quievimus dicentes: “ Domini voluntas fiat! ”.
15 Then, after those days, having made preparations, we ascended to Jerusalem.	15 Post dies autem istos praeparati ascendebamus Hierosolymam;
16 Now some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing with them a certain Cypriot named Mnason, a very old disciple, whose guests we would be.	16 venerunt autemet ex discipulis a Caesarea nobiscum adducentes apud quem hospitaremur, Mnasonemquendam Cyprium, antiquum discipulum.
17 And when we had arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers received us willingly.	17 Et cum venissemus Hierosolymam, libenter exceperunt nos fratres.
18 Then, on the following day, Paul entered with us to James. And all the elders were assembled.	18 Sequentiautem die introibat Paulus nobiscum ad Iacobum, omnesque collecti suntpresbyteri.
19 And when he had greeted them, he explained each thing that God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his ministry.	19 Quos cum salutasset, narrabat per singula, quae fecisset Deus ingentibus per ministerium ipsius.
20 And they, upon hearing it, magnified God and said to him: “You understand, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.	20 At illi cum audissent, glorificabant Deumdixeruntque ei: “ Vides, frater, quot milia sint in Iudaeis, qui crediderunt,et omnes aemulatores sunt legis;
21 Now they have heard about you, that you are teaching those Jews who are among the Gentiles to withdraw from Moses, telling them that they should not circumcise their sons, nor act according to custom.	21 audierunt autem de te quia discessionemdoceas a Moyse omnes, qui per gentes sunt, Iudaeos, dicens non deberecircumcidere eos filios suos neque secundum consuetudines ambulare.
22 What is next? The multitude ought to be convened. For they will hear that you have arrived.	22 Quid ergoest? Utique audient te supervenisse.
23 Therefore, do this thing that we ask of you: We have four men, who are under a vow.	23 Hoc ergo fac, quod tibi dicimus. Suntnobis viri quattuor votum habentes super se;
24 Take these and sanctify yourself with them, and require them to shave their heads. And then everyone will know that the things that they have heard about you are false, but that you yourself walk in keeping with the law.	24 his assumptis, sanctifica te cumillis et impende pro illis, ut radant capita, et scient omnes quia, quae de teaudierunt, nihil sunt, sed ambulas et ipse custodiens legem.
25 But, about those Gentiles who have believed, we have written a judgment that they should keep themselves from what has been immolated to idols, and from blood, and from what has been suffocated, and from fornication.”	25 De his autem,qui crediderunt, gentibus nos scripsimus iudicantes, ut abstineant ab idolothytoet sanguine et suffocato et fornicatione ”.
26 Then Paul, taking the men on the next day, was purified with them, and he entered the temple, announcing the process of the days of purification, until an oblation would be offered on behalf of each one of them.	26 Tunc Paulus, assumptis viris, postera die purificatus cum illis intravit intemplum annuntians expletionem dierum purificationis, donec offerretur prounoquoque eorum oblatio.
27 But when the seven days were reaching completion, those Jews who were from Asia, when they had seen him in the temple, incited all the people, and they laid hands on him, crying out:	27 Dum autem septem dies consummarentur, hi, qui de Asia erant, Iudaei cumvidissent eum in templo, concitaverunt omnem turbam et iniecerunt ei manus
28 “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching, everyone, everywhere, against the people and the law and this place. Furthermore, he has even brought Gentiles into the temple, and he has violated this holy place.”	28 clamantes: “ Viri Israelitae, adiuvate! Hic est homo, qui adversus populum etlegem et locum hunc omnes ubique docens, insuper et Graecos induxit in templumet polluit sanctum locum istum ”.
29 (For they had seen Trophimus, an Ephesian, in the city with him, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.)	29 Viderant enim Trophimum Ephesium incivitate cum ipso, quem aestimabant quoniam in templum induxisset Paulus.
30 And the entire city was stirred up. And it happened that the people ran together. And apprehending Paul, they dragged him outside of the temple. And immediately the doors were closed.	30 Commotaque est civitas tota, et facta est concursio populi, et apprehendentesPaulum trahebant eum extra templum, et statim clausae sunt ianuae.
31 Then, as they were seeking to kill him, it was reported to the tribune of the cohort: “All Jerusalem is in confusion.”	31 Quaerentibus autem eum occidere, nuntiatum est tribuno cohortis quia totaconfunditur Ierusalem,
32 And so, immediately taking soldiers and centurions, he rushed down to them. And when they had seen the tribune and the soldiers, they ceased to strike Paul.	32 qui statim, assumptis militibus et centurionibus,decucurrit ad illos; qui cum vidissent tribunum et milites, cessaveruntpercutere Paulum.
33 Then the tribune, drawing near, apprehended him and ordered that he be bound with two chains. And he was asking who he was and what he had done.	33 Tunc accedens tribunus apprehendit eum et iussit alligaricatenis duabus et interrogabat quis esset et quid fecisset.
34 Then they were crying out various things within the crowd. And since he could not understand anything clearly because of the noise, he ordered him to be brought into the fortress.	34 Alii autem aliudclamabant in turba; et cum non posset certum cognoscere prae tumultu, iussitduci eum in castra.
35 And when he had arrived at the stairs, it happened that he was carried up by the soldiers, because of the threat of violence from the people.	35 Et cum venisset ad gradus, contigit ut portaretur amilitibus propter vim turbae;
36 For the multitude of the people were following and crying out, “Take him away!”	36 sequebatur enim multitudo populi clamantes: “Tolle eum! ”.
37 And as Paul was beginning to be brought into the fortress, he said to the tribune, “Is it permissible for me to say something to you?” And he said, “You know Greek?	37 Et cum coepisset induci in castra, Paulus dicit tribuno: “ Si licet mihiloqui aliquid ad te? ”. Qui dixit: “ Graece nosti?
38 So then, are you not that Egyptian who before these days incited a rebellion and led out into the desert four thousand murderous men?”	38 Nonne tu es Aegyptius,qui ante hos dies tumultum concitasti et eduxisti in desertum quattuor miliavirorum sicariorum? ”.
39 But Paul said to him: “I am a man, indeed a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of a well-known city. So I petition you, permit me to speak to the people.”	39 Et dixit Paulus: “ Ego homo sum quidem Iudaeus aTarso Ciliciae, non ignotae civitatis municeps; rogo autem te, permitte mihiloqui ad populum ”.
40 And when he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, motioned with his hand to the people. And when a great silence occurred, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying:	40 Et cum ille permisisset, Paulus stans in gradibusannuit manu ad plebem et, magno silentio facto, allocutus est Hebraea linguadicens:
