Acts 18:18-23

Paul Returns to Antioch in Syria

18 So Paul, [after] remaining many days longer, said farewell to the brothers [and] sailed away to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved [his] head at Cenchrea, because he had [taken] a vow.

19 So they arrived at Ephesus, and those he left behind there, but he himself entered into the synagogue [and] discussed with the Jews.

20 And [when] they asked [him] to stay for a longer time, he did not give his consent,

21 but saying farewell and telling [them], "I will return to you again [if] God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.

22 And [when he] arrived at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, [and] went down to Antioch.

23 And [after] spending some time [there], he departed, traveling through one [place] after another [in] the Galatian region and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
