Hechos 21

La Biblia de las Américas (Español) BLA

1 Después de separarnos de ellos, zarpamos y fuimos con rumbo directo a Cos, al día siguiente a Rodas, y de allí a Pátara;

2 y encontrando un barco que partía para Fenicia, subimos a bordo y nos hicimos a la vela.

3 Cuando avistamos Chipre, dejándola a la izquierda, navegamos hacia Siria, y desembarcamos en Tiro porque la nave debía dejar su cargamento allí.

4 Después de hallar a los discípulos, nos quedamos allí siete días, y ellos le decían a Pablo, por el Espíritu, que no fuera a Jerusalén.

5 Y pasados aquellos días partimos y emprendimos nuestro viaje mientras que todos ellos, con sus mujeres e hijos, nos acompañaron hasta las afueras de la ciudad. Después de arrodillarnos y orar en la playa, nos despedimos unos de otros.

6 Entonces subimos al barco y ellos regresaron a sus hogares.

7 Terminado el viaje desde Tiro, llegamos a Tolemaida, y después de saludar a los hermanos, nos quedamos con ellos un día.

8 Al día siguiente partimos y llegamos a Cesarea, y entrando en la casa de Felipe, el evangelista, que era uno de los siete, nos quedamos con él.

9 Este tenía cuatro hijas doncellas que profetizaban.

10 Y deteniéndonos allí varios días, descendió de Judea cierto profeta llamado Agabo,

11 quien vino a vernos, y tomando el cinto de Pablo, se ató las manos y los pies, y dijo: Así dice el Espíritu Santo: "Así atarán los judíos en Jerusalén al dueño de este cinto, y lo entregarán en manos de los gentiles."

12 Al escuchar esto, tanto nosotros como los que vivían allí le rogábamos que no subiera a Jerusalén.

13 Entonces Pablo respondió: ¿Qué hacéis, llorando y quebrantándome el corazón? Porque listo estoy no sólo a ser atado, sino también a morir en Jerusalén por el nombre del Señor Jesús.

14 Como no se dejaba persuadir, nos callamos, diciéndonos: Que se haga la voluntad del Señor.

15 Después de estos días nos preparamos y comenzamos a subir hacia Jerusalén.

16 Y nos acompañaron también algunos de los discípulos de Cesarea, quienes nos condujeron a Mnasón, de Chipre, un antiguo discípulo con quien deberíamos hospedarnos.

17 Cuando llegamos a Jerusalén, los hermanos nos recibieron con regocijo.

18 Y al día siguiente Pablo fue con nosotros a ver a Jacobo , y todos los ancianos estaban presentes.

19 Y después de saludarlos, comenzó a referirles una por una las cosas que Dios había hecho entre los gentiles mediante su ministerio.

20 Y ellos, cuando lo oyeron, glorificaban a Dios y le dijeron: Hermano, ya ves cuántos miles hay entre los judíos que han creído, y todos son celosos de la ley;

21 y se les ha contado acerca de ti, que enseñas a todos los judíos entre los gentiles que se aparten de Moisés, diciéndoles que no circunciden a sus hijos ni observen las tradiciones.

22 Entonces, ¿qué es lo que se debe hacer? Porque sin duda la multitud se reunirá pues oirán que has venido.

23 Por tanto, haz esto que te decimos: Tenemos cuatro hombres que han hecho un voto;

24 tómalos y purifícate junto con ellos, y paga sus gastos para que se rasuren la cabeza; y todos sabrán que no hay nada cierto en lo que se les ha dicho acerca de ti, sino que tú también vives ordenadamente, acatando la ley.

25 Pero en cuanto a los gentiles que han creído, nosotros les hemos escrito, habiendo decidido que deben abstenerse de lo sacrificado a los ídolos, de sangre, de lo estrangulado y de fornicación.

26 Entonces Pablo tomó consigo a los hombres, y al día siguiente, purificándose junto con ellos, fue al templo, notificando de la terminación de los días de purificación, hasta que el sacrificio se ofreciera por cada uno de ellos.

27 Cuando estaban para cumplirse los siete días, los judíos de Asia, al verlo en el templo, comenzaron a incitar a todo el pueblo, y le echaron mano,

28 gritando: ¡Israelitas, ayudadnos! Este es el hombre que enseña a todos, por todas partes, contra nuestro pueblo, la ley y este lugar; además, incluso ha traído griegos al templo, y ha profanado este lugar santo.

29 Pues anteriormente habían visto a Trófimo el efesio con él en la ciudad, y pensaban que Pablo lo había traído al templo.

30 Se alborotó toda la ciudad, y llegó el pueblo corriendo de todas partes; apoderándose de Pablo lo arrastraron fuera del templo, y al instante cerraron las puertas.

31 Mientras procuraban matarlo, llegó aviso al comandante de la compañía romana que toda Jerusalén estaba en confusión.

32 Inmediatamente tomó consigo algunos soldados y centuriones, y corrió hacia ellos; cuando vieron al comandante y a los soldados, dejaron de golpear a Pablo.

33 Entonces el comandante llegó y lo prendió, y ordenó que lo ataran con dos cadenas; y preguntaba quién era y qué había hecho.

34 Pero entre la muchedumbre unos gritaban una cosa y otros otra, y como él no pudo averiguar con certeza los hechos, debido al tumulto, ordenó que lo llevaran al cuartel.

35 Cuando llegó a las gradas, sucedió que los soldados tuvieron que cargarlo por causa de la violencia de la turba;

36 porque la multitud del pueblo lo seguía, gritando: ¡Muera!

37 Cuando estaban para meter a Pablo en el cuartel, dijo al comandante: ¿Puedo decirte algo? Y él dijo<***>: ¿Sabes griego?

38 ¿Entonces tú no eres el egipcio que hace tiempo levantó una revuelta, y capitaneó los cuatro mil hombres de los asesinos al desierto?

39 Pablo respondió: Yo soy judío de Tarso de Cilicia, ciudadano de una ciudad no sin importancia; te suplico que me permitas hablar al pueblo.

40 Cuando le concedió el permiso, Pablo, de pie sobre las gradas, hizo señal al pueblo con su mano, y cuando hubo gran silencio, les habló en el idioma hebreo, diciendo:

The Message Bible MSG

1 And so, with the tearful good-byes behind us, we were on our way. We made a straight run to Cos, the next day reached Rhodes, and then Patara.

2 There we found a ship going direct to Phoenicia, got on board, and set sail.

3 Cyprus came into view on our left, but was soon out of sight as we kept on course for Syria, and eventually docked in the port of Tyre. While the cargo was being unloaded,

4 we looked up the local disciples and stayed with them seven days. Their message to Paul, from insight given by the Spirit, was "Don't go to Jerusalem."

5 When our time was up, they escorted us out of the city to the docks. Everyone came along - men, women, children. They made a farewell party of the occasion! We all kneeled together on the beach and prayed.

6 Then, after another round of saying good-bye, we climbed on board the ship while they drifted back to their homes.

7 A short run from Tyre to Ptolemais completed the voyage. We greeted our Christian friends there and stayed with them a day.

8 In the morning we went on to Caesarea and stayed with Philip the Evangelist, one of "the Seven."

9 Philip had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

10 After several days of visiting, a prophet from Judea by the name of Agabus came down to see us.

11 He went right up to Paul, took Paul's belt, and, in a dramatic gesture, tied himself up, hands and feet. He said, "This is what the Holy Spirit says: The Jews in Jerusalem are going to tie up the man who owns this belt just like this and hand him over to godless unbelievers."

12 When we heard that, we and everyone there that day begged Paul not to be stubborn and persist in going to Jerusalem.

13 But Paul wouldn't budge: "Why all this hysteria? Why do you insist on making a scene and making it even harder for me? You're looking at this backwards. The issue in Jerusalem is not what they do to me, whether arrest or murder, but what the Master Jesus does through my obedience. Can't you see that?"

14 We saw that we weren't making even a dent in his resolve, and gave up. "It's in God's hands now," we said. "Master, you handle it."

15 It wasn't long before we had our luggage together and were on our way to Jerusalem.

16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us and took us to the home of Mnason, who received us warmly as his guests. A native of Cyprus, he had been among the earliest disciples.

17 In Jerusalem, our friends, glad to see us, received us with open arms.

18 The first thing next morning, we took Paul to see James. All the church leaders were there.

19 After a time of greeting and small talk, Paul told the story, detail by detail, of what God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.

20 They listened with delight and gave God the glory.

21 They've been told that you advise believing Jews who live surrounded by Gentiles to go light on Moses, telling them that they don't need to circumcise their children or keep up the old traditions. This isn't sitting at all well with them.

22 "We're worried about what will happen when they discover you're in town. There's bound to be trouble. So here is what we want you to do:

23 There are four men from our company who have taken a vow involving ritual purification, but have no money to pay the expenses.

24 Join these men in their vows and pay their expenses. Then it will become obvious to everyone that there is nothing to the rumors going around about you and that you are in fact scrupulous in your reverence for the laws of Moses.

25 "In asking you to do this, we're not going back on our agreement regarding Gentiles who have become believers. We continue to hold fast to what we wrote in that letter, namely, to be careful not to get involved in activities connected with idols; to avoid serving food offensive to Jewish Christians; to guard the morality of sex and marriage."

26 So Paul did it - took the men, joined them in their vows, and paid their way. The next day he went to the Temple to make it official and stay there until the proper sacrifices had been offered and completed for each of them.

27 When the seven days of their purification were nearly up, some Jews from around Ephesus spotted him in the Temple. At once they turned the place upside-down. They grabbed Paul

28 and started yelling at the top of their lungs, "Help! You Israelites, help! This is the man who is going all over the world telling lies against us and our religion and this place. He's even brought Greeks in here and defiled this holy place."

29 (What had happened was that they had seen Paul and Trophimus, the Ephesian Greek, walking together in the city and had just assumed that he had also taken him to the Temple and shown him around.)

30 Soon the whole city was in an uproar, people running from everywhere to the Temple to get in on the action. They grabbed Paul, dragged him outside, and locked the Temple gates so he couldn't get back in and gain sanctuary.

31 As they were trying to kill him, word came to the captain of the guard, "A riot! The whole city's boiling over!"

32 He acted swiftly. His soldiers and centurions ran to the scene at once. As soon as the mob saw the captain and his soldiers, they quit beating Paul.

33 The captain came up and put Paul under arrest. He first ordered him handcuffed, and then asked who he was and what he had done.

34 All he got from the crowd were shouts, one yelling this, another that. It was impossible to tell one word from another in the mob hysteria, so the captain ordered Paul taken to the military barracks.

35 But when they got to the Temple steps, the mob became so violent that the soldiers had to carry Paul.

36 As they carried him away, the crowd followed, shouting, "Kill him! Kill him!"

37 When they got to the barracks and were about to go in, Paul said to the captain, "Can I say something to you?"

38 I thought you were the Egyptian who not long ago started a riot here, and then hid out in the desert with his four thousand thugs."

39 Paul said, "No, I'm a Jew, born in Tarsus. And I'm a citizen still of that influential city. I have a simple request: Let me speak to the crowd."

40 Standing on the barracks steps, Paul turned and held his arms up. A hush fell over the crowd as Paul began to speak. He spoke in Hebrew.
