Acts 18:18-23

The Return Trip to Antioch

18 So Paul, having stayed on for many days, said good-bye to the brothers and sailed away to Syria. Priscilla and Aquila were with him. He shaved his head at Cenchreae, because he had taken a vow.
19 When they reached Ephesus he left them there, but he himself entered the synagogue and engaged in discussion with[a] the Jews.
20 And though they asked him to stay for a longer time, he declined,
21 but said good-bye and stated,[b] "I'll come back to you again, if God wills." Then he set sail from Ephesus.
22 On landing at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church,[c] and went down to Antioch.
23 And [after] spending some time there, he set out, traveling through one place after another in the Galatian territory and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
