1. And it came to be, when we had torn ourselves away from them, and had set sail, we ran a straight course and came to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2. And having found a ship passing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
3. And having sighted Cyprus, and having passed it on the left, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tsor, for the ship was to unload her cargo there.
4. And having found taught ones, we remained there seven days. And they told Sha’ul through the Spirit not to go up to Yerushalayim.
5. And when it came to be that our days there were ended, we left and went on, all of them accompanying us, with wives and children, till we were out of the city. And kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
6. And having embraced one another, we boarded the ship, and they returned to their homes.
7. And when we had completed our voyage from Tsor, we came to Ptolemais. And having greeted the brothers we stayed with them one day.
8. And on the next day we left and came to Caesarea, and went into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9. Now this one had four maiden daughters who prophesied.
10. And as we were staying many days, a certain prophet named Ḥag̅aḇ came down from Yehuḏah,
11. and having come to us, he took the girdle of Sha’ul, bound his own hands and feet, and said, “Thus says the Set-apart Spirit, ‘Thus shall the Yehuḏim at Yerushalayim bind the man who owns this girdle, and deliver him into the hands of the gentiles.’ ”
12. And when we heard this, both we and those from that place begged him not to go up to Yerushalayim.
13. And Sha’ul answered, “What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Yerushalayim for the Name of the Master יהושע.”
14. And as he could not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “Let the desire of the Master be done.”
