Acts 21:1-7

Paul Sails from Miletus

1 When 1we had parted from them and had set sail, we ran 2a straight course to Cos and the next day to Rhodes and from there to Patara;
2 and having found a ship crossing over to 3Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
3 When we came in sight of 4Cyprus, leaving it on the left, we kept sailing to 5Syria and landed at 6Tyre; for there the ship was to unload its cargo.
4 After looking up 7the disciples, we stayed there seven days; and they kept telling Paul 8through the Spirit not to set foot in Jerusalem.
5 When our days there were ended, we left and started on our journey, while they all, with wives and children, 9escorted us until we were out of the city. After 10kneeling * down * on the beach and praying, we said farewell to one another.
6 Then we went on board the ship, and they returned 11home again.
7 When we had finished the voyage from 12Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and after greeting 13the brethren, we stayed with them for a day.
