Acts 18:20

When they desired him to tarry longer time with them

Atti 18:20 In-Context

18 Ora, quando Paolo fu dimorato quivi ancora molti giorni, prese commiato dai fratelli, e navigò in Siria, con Priscilla, ed Aquila; essendosi fatto tondere il capo in Cencrea, perciocchè avea voto.
19 Ed essendo giunto in Efeso, li lasciò quivi. Or egli entrò nella sinagoga, e fece un sermone a’ Giudei.
20 Ed essi lo pregavano di dimorare appresso di loro più lungo tempo; ma egli non acconsentì;
21 anzi prese commiato da loro, dicendo: Del tutto mi conviene far la festa prossima in Gerusalemme; ma io ritornerò ancora a voi, se piace a Dio. Così si partì per mare da Efeso.
22 Ed essendo disceso in Cesarea, salì in Gerusalemme; poi, dopo aver salutata la chiesa, scese in Antiochia.
