Acts 21:1-9

After we tore ourselves away from them, we put out to sea and sailed a direct course for the island of Kos, and on the next day to the island of Rhodes, and from there to Patara. There we found a ship that was crossing over to Syria, so we went aboard and sailed away. After we sighted Cyprus and sailed south of it, we docked at Tyre in Syria, where the ship unloaded its cargo. When we went ashore we found a number of believers and stayed with them for a week. They prophesied to Paul repeatedly, warning him by the Holy Spirit not to set foot in Jerusalem. When it was time for us to leave and be on our way, everyone—men, women, and children—accompanied us out of the city down to the beach. After we all knelt in the sand and prayed together, we kissed one another, said our good-byes, and boarded the ship, while the believers went back to their homes. From Tyre we sailed on to the town of Akko and greeted the believers there with peace. We stayed with them for a day. Then we went on to Caesarea and stayed for several days in the home of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven deacons and the father of four unmarried daughters who prophesied.
