¹ AND it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Kos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:

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

³ Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Aram, and landed at Tsor: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.

⁴ And finding the Talmidiym, we tarried there seven days: who said to Pa'al through the Ruach, that he should not go up to Yerushalayim.

⁵ And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with women and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.

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

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

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

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

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

¹¹ And when he was come unto us, he took Pa'al's belt, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus says the Ruach Ha'Qodesh, So shall the Yahudiym at Yerushalayim bind the man that owns this belt, and shall deliver him into the hands of the other nations.

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

¹³ Then Pa'al answered, What mean ye to weep and to break my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Yerushalayim for the name of Adonai Yahusha Ha'Mashiach.

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

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

¹⁶ There went with us also certain of the Talmidiym of Qeycaryah, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old Talmiyd, with whom we should lodge.

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

¹⁸ And the day following Pa'al went in with us unto Ya`aqov; and all the elders were present.

¹⁹ And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly את what things Elohiym had wrought among the other nations by his ministry.

²⁰ And when they heard it, they glorified Yah, and said unto him, You see, brother, how many thousands of Yahudiym there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the Law:

²¹ And they are informed of you, that you teach all the Yahudiym which are among the other nations to forsake Mosheh, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.

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

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

²⁴ Them take, and purify yourself 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 you, are nothing; but that you yourself also walk orderly, and guard the Torah.

²⁵ As touching the other nations which believe, we enjoin them that they try not even one, not one, but that they guard themselves from idol sacrifices, from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication.

²⁶ Then Pa'al 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 everyone of them.

²⁷ And when the seven days were almost ended, the Yahudiym which were of Asia, when they saw him in the Temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,

²⁸ Crying out, Men of Yashar'el, help: This is the man, that teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the Law, and this place: and further brought Yavaniym also into the Temple, and has polluted this holy place.

²⁹ (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Eph'siy, whom they supposed that Pa'al had brought into the Temple.)

³⁰ And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Pa'al, and drew him out of the Temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.

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

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 Pa'al.

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.

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.

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

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

³⁷ And as Pa'al was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto you? Who said, Can you speak Yavaniy?

³⁸ Are not you that Mitsriy, which before these days made an uproar, and led out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?

³⁹ But Pa'al said, I am a man which am a Yahudiy of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech you, suffer me to speak unto the people.

⁴⁰ And when he had given him licence, Pa'al stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spoke unto them in the Ivriyt tongue, saying,
