Acts 21:1-9 ▼

1 After we tore ourselves away from them, we set sail straight for Cos, the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

2 Finding a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we boarded and set sail.

3 After we sighted Cyprus, passing to the south of it, we sailed on to Syria and arrived at Tyre, since the ship was to unload its cargo there.

4 We sought out the disciples and stayed there seven days. Through the Spirit they told Paul not to go to Jerusalem.

5 When our time had come to an end, we left to continue our journey, while all of them, with their wives and children, accompanied us out of the city. After kneeling down on the beach to pray,

6 we said farewell to one another and boarded the ship, and they returned home.

7 When we completed our voyage from Tyre, we reached Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and sisters and stayed with them for a day.

8 The next day we left and came to Caesarea, where we entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the Seven, and stayed with him.

9 This man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
