10 Agabus, foretelling what should befall him at Jerusalem, he will not be dissuaded from going thither.
17 He comes to Jerusalem;
27 where he is apprehended, and in great danger, but by the chief captain is rescued;
37 and requests, and is permitted to speak to the people.

Coos. Coos, Cos, or Co, now Zia, is an island in the Aegean sea, one of those called Cyclades, near the south-west point of Asia Minor, and about fifteen miles from Halicarnassus.

Rhodes. Rhodes is a celebrated island in the same sea, southward of Caria, from which it is distant about twenty miles, next to Cyprus and Lesbos in extent, being 120 miles in circumference. It was remarkable for the clearness of the air, and its pleasant and healthy climate, and chiefly for its Colossus of brass, seventy cubits high, with each finger as large as an ordinary man, standing astride over the mouth of the harbour, so that ships in full sail passed between its legs.

2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.

Phenicia. 15:3

3 Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.

4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.

7 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.

and saluted. 19 18:22 25:13 1Sa 10:4 13:10 Mt 5:47 Heb 13:24

8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.

10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.

as. 4,7 20:16

Agabus. 11:28

11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

he took. 1Sa 15:27,28 1Ki 11:29-31 2Ki 13:15-19 Jer 13:1-11 19:10,11 Eze 24:19-25 Ho 12:10

12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

besought. 4 20:22 Mt 16:21-23

13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

What. 1Sa 15:14 Isa 3:15 Eze 18:2 Jon 1:6

14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

The will. Ge 43:14 1Sa 3:18 2Sa 15:25,26 2Ki 20:19 Mt 6:10 26:39,42 Lu 11:2 22:42

15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.

and went. 18:22 25:1,6,9

16 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.

19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:

they glorified. 4:21 11:18 Ps 22:23,27 72:17-19 98:1-3 Isa 55:10-13 66:9-14 Lu 15:3-10,32 Ro 15:6,7,9-13 Ga 1:24 2Th 1:10 Re 19:6,7

21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.

that thou. 6:13,14 16:3 28:17 Ro 14:1-6 1Co 9:19-21 Ga 5:1-6 6:12-15

22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.

the multitude. 15:12,22 19:32

23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;

We have. 18:18 Nu 6:2-7

24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.

and purify. 26 24:18 Ex 19:10,14 Nu 19:17-22 2Ch 30:18,19 Job 1:5 41:25 Joh 3:25 Heb 9:10-14

25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.

we have. See on ch. 15:20,29

26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.

Then. 1Co 9:20

27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,

30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.

36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.

37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?

19 19:30 Mt 10:18-20 Lu 21:15

38 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?

that. 'This Egyptian rose A.D. 55.'

5:36,37 Mt 5:11 1Co 4:13

39 But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.
