1我們，就開船一直行到哥士。第二天到了羅底，從那裡到帕大喇，After we had torn ourselves away from them, we sailed directly to Cos, and the next day on to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2遇見一隻船要往腓尼基去，就上船起行。Finding a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we boarded it and set sail.
3望見，就從南邊行過，往敘利亞去，我們就在上岸，因為船要在那裡卸貨。After sighting Cyprus and passing south of it, we sailed on to Syria and landed at Tyre, where the ship was to unload its cargo.
4找著了門徒，就在那裡住了七天。他們，對保羅說：「不要上耶路撒冷去。」We sought out the disciples in Tyre and stayed with them seven days. Through the Spirit they kept telling Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
5過了這幾天，我們就起身前行。他們眾人同妻子兒女，送我們到城外，我們都跪在岸上禱告，彼此辭別。But when our time there had ended, we set out on our journey. All the disciples, with their wives and children, accompanied us out of the city and knelt down on the beach to pray with us.
6我們上了船，他們就回家去了。And after we had said our farewells, we went aboard the ship, and they returned home.
7我們從泰爾行盡了水路，來到多利買，就問那裡的弟兄安，和他們同住了一天。When we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we landed at Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and stayed with them for a day.
8第二天，我們離開那裡，來到，就進了傳福音的家裡，和他同住。他是那七個執事裡的一個。Leaving the next day, we went on to Caesarea and stayed at the home of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the Seven.
9他有四個女兒，都是處女，是說預言的。He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.
10我們在那裡多住了幾天，有一個先知，名叫，從猶太下來，After we had been there several days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11到了我們這裡，就拿保羅的捆上自己的手腳，說：「聖靈說：猶太人在耶路撒冷，要如此捆綁這腰帶的主人，把他交在外邦人手裡。」Coming over to us, he took Paul’s belt, bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews of Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and hand him over to the Gentiles.’”
12我們和那本地的人聽見這話，都苦勸保羅不要上耶路撒冷去。When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
13保羅說：「你們為甚麼這樣痛哭，使我呢？我為主耶穌的名，不但被人捆綁，就是死在耶路撒冷也是願意的。」Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
14保羅既不聽勸，我們便，只說：「願主的旨意成就」，便了。When he would not be dissuaded, we quieted down and said, “The Lord’s will be done.”
15過了幾日，我們上耶路撒冷去。After these days, we packed up and went on to Jerusalem.
16有凱撒利亞的幾個門徒和我們同去，帶我們到一個（久為：或譯老）門徒的家裡，叫我們與他同住；他名叫拿孫，是塞浦路斯人。Some of the disciples from Caesarea accompanied us, and they took us to stay at the home of Mnason the Cypriot, an early disciple.
17到了耶路撒冷，弟兄們歡歡喜喜地接待我們。When we arrived in Jerusalem, the brothers welcomed us joyfully.
18第二天，保羅同我們去見；長老們也都在那裡。The next day Paul went in with us to see James, and all the elders were present.
19保羅問了他們安，便將 神用他傳教，在外邦人中間所行之事，一一地述說了。Paul greeted them and recounted one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20他們聽見，就歸榮耀與 神，對保羅說：「，你看猶太人中信主的有多少萬，並且都為律法熱心。When they heard this, they glorified God. Then they said to Paul, “You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law.
21他們聽見人說，你教訓一切在外邦的猶太人離棄摩西，對他們說，不要給孩子行割禮，也不要遵行。But they are under the impression that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or observe our customs.
22眾人必聽見你來了，這可怎麼辦呢？What then should we do? They will certainly hear that you have come.
23你就照著我們的話行吧！我們這裡有四個人，都。Therefore do what we advise you. There are four men with us who have taken a vow.
24你帶他們去，與他們一同行潔淨的禮，替他們拿出，叫他們得以剃頭。這樣，眾人就可知道，先前所聽見你的事都是虛的；並可知道，你自己為人，，遵行律法。Take these men, purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know that there is no truth to these rumors about you, but that you also live in obedience to the law.
25至於信主的外邦人，我們已經寫信擬定，叫他們那祭偶像之物，和血，並，與姦淫。」As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they must abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality.”
26於是保羅帶著那四個人，第二天與他們一同行了潔淨的禮，進了殿，報明潔淨的日期滿足，只等祭司為他們各人獻祭。So the next day Paul took the men and purified himself along with them. Then he entered the temple to give notice of the date when their purification would be complete and the offering would be made for each of them.
27那七日將完，從亞細亞來的猶太人看見保羅在殿裡，就了眾人，下手拿他，When the seven days were almost over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him,
28喊叫說：「以色列人來幫助，這就是在各處教訓眾人我們百姓和律法，並這地方的。他又帶著希臘人進殿，污穢了這聖地。」crying out, “Men of Israel, help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people and against our law and against this place. Furthermore, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.”
29（這話是因他們曾看見以弗所人同保羅在城裡，以為保羅帶他進了殿。）For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30合城都震動，百姓一齊跑來，拿住保羅，拉他出殿，殿門立刻都關了。The whole city was stirred up, and the people rushed together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut.
31他們正想要殺他，有人報信給營裡的說：「耶路撒冷合城都亂了。」While they were trying to kill him, the commander of the Roman regiment received a report that all Jerusalem was in turmoil.
32千夫長立時帶著兵丁和幾個百夫長，跑下去到他們那裡。他們見了千夫長和兵丁，就止住不打保羅。Immediately he took some soldiers and centurions and ran down to the crowd. When the people saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
33於是千夫長上前拿住他，吩咐用兩條鐵鍊捆鎖；又問他是甚麼人，做的是甚麼事。The commander came up and arrested Paul, ordering that he be bound with two chains. Then he asked who he was and what he had done.
34眾人有喊叫這個的，有喊叫那個的；千夫長因為這樣亂嚷，得不著實情，就吩咐人將保羅帶進去。Some in the crowd were shouting one thing, and some another. And since the commander could not get at the truth because of the uproar, he ordered that Paul be brought into the barracks.
35到了臺階上，眾人擠得兇猛，兵丁只得將保羅抬起來。When Paul reached the steps, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob.
36眾人跟在後面，喊著說：「！」For the crowd that followed him kept shouting, “Away with him!”
37將要帶他進營樓，保羅對千夫長說：「我對你說句話可以不可以？」他說：「你懂得希臘話嗎？As they were about to take Paul into the barracks, he asked the commander, “May I say something to you?” “Do you speak Greek?” he replied.
38你莫非是從前作亂、帶領四千兇徒往曠野去的那嗎？」“Aren’t you the Egyptian who incited a rebellion some time ago and led four thousand members of the Assassins into the wilderness?”
39保羅說：「我本是猶太人，生在基利家的，並不是無名小城的人。求你准我對百姓說話。」But Paul answered, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no ordinary city. Now I beg you to allow me to speak to the people.”
40千夫長准了。保羅就站在臺階上，向百姓擺手，他們都靜默無聲，保羅便用希伯來話對他們說：Having received permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned to the crowd. A great hush came over the crowd, and he addressed them in Hebrew:
