Von Milet nach Cäsarea

1 Als es nun geschah, dass wir uns von ihnen wandten und fortsegelten, kamen wir geradewegs nach Kos und am folgenden Tage nach Rhodos und von da nach Patara. 2 Und als wir ein Schiff fanden, das nach Phönizien fuhr, stiegen wir ein und fuhren ab. 3 Als aber Zypern in Sicht kam, ließen wir es linker Hand liegen und fuhren nach Syrien und kamen in Tyrus an, denn dort wurde das Schiff entladen. 4 Als wir nun die Jünger fanden, blieben wir sieben Tage dort. Die sagten Paulus durch den Geist, er sollte nicht nach Jerusalem hinaufziehen. (Apg 20,23) 5 Und es geschah, da wir die Tage dort zugebracht hatten, machten wir uns auf und reisten weiter. Und sie geleiteten uns alle mit Frauen und Kindern bis hinaus vor die Stadt, und wir knieten am Ufer nieder, beteten (Apg 20,36) 6 und nahmen Abschied voneinander. Wir stiegen ins Schiff; jene aber kehrten nach Hause zurück. 7 Wir beendeten die Seefahrt und kamen von Tyrus nach Ptolemais, begrüßten die Gemeinde und blieben einen Tag bei ihnen. 8 Am nächsten Tag zogen wir weiter und kamen nach Cäsarea und gingen in das Haus des Philippus, des Evangelisten, der einer von den Sieben war, und blieben bei ihm. (Apg 6,5; Apg 8,40) 9 Der hatte vier Töchter, Jungfrauen, die prophetisch redeten. (1Kor 11,5) 10 Und als wir mehrere Tage dablieben, kam ein Prophet mit Namen Agabus aus Judäa herab. (Apg 11,28) 11 Und als er zu uns kam, nahm er den Gürtel des Paulus und band sich die Füße und Hände und sprach: Das sagt der Heilige Geist: Den Mann, dem dieser Gürtel gehört, werden die Juden in Jerusalem so binden und überantworten in die Hände der Heiden. (Apg 20,23) 12 Als wir aber das hörten, baten wir und die aus dem Ort, dass er nicht hinauf nach Jerusalem zöge. 13 Paulus aber antwortete: Was macht ihr, dass ihr weint und brecht mir das Herz? Denn ich bin bereit, nicht allein mich binden zu lassen, sondern auch zu sterben in Jerusalem für den Namen des Herrn Jesus. (Apg 20,24) 14 Da er sich aber nicht überreden ließ, schwiegen wir und sprachen: Des Herrn Wille geschehe. (Lk 22,42)

Die Ankunft in Jerusalem

15 Und nach diesen Tagen machten wir uns fertig und zogen hinauf nach Jerusalem. 16 Es kamen aber mit uns auch einige Jünger aus Cäsarea und führten uns zu einem alten Jünger mit Namen Mnason aus Zypern, bei dem wir zu Gast sein sollten. 17 Als wir nun nach Jerusalem kamen, nahmen uns die Brüder und Schwestern gerne auf. 18 Am nächsten Tag aber ging Paulus mit uns zu Jakobus, und alle Ältesten kamen dorthin. (Apg 15,13) 19 Und als er sie begrüßt hatte, erzählte er eins nach dem andern, was Gott unter den Heiden durch seinen Dienst getan hatte. 20 Da sie aber das hörten, lobten sie Gott und sprachen zu ihm: Bruder, du siehst, wie viele Tausende unter den Juden gläubig geworden sind und alle sind Eiferer für das Gesetz. (Apg 15,1) 21 Ihnen ist aber berichtet worden über dich, dass du alle Juden, die unter den Heiden wohnen, den Abfall von Mose lehrst und sagst, sie sollen ihre Kinder nicht beschneiden und auch nicht nach den Ordnungen leben. (Apg 6,14; Gal 3,24) 22 Was nun? Auf jeden Fall werden sie hören, dass du gekommen bist. 23 So tu nun das, was wir dir sagen: Wir haben vier Männer, die haben ein Gelübde auf sich genommen; (4Mo 6,1; Apg 18,18) 24 die nimm zu dir und lass dich reinigen mit ihnen und trage die Kosten für sie, dass sie ihr Haupt scheren können;^[1] so werden alle erkennen, dass es nicht so ist, wie man ihnen über dich berichtet hat, sondern dass du selber auch nach dem Gesetz lebst und es hältst. 25 Wegen der gläubig gewordenen Heiden aber haben wir beschlossen und geschrieben, dass sie sich hüten sollen vor dem Götzenopferfleisch, vor Blut, vor Ersticktem und vor Unzucht. (Apg 15,20; Apg 15,29) 26 Da nahm Paulus die Männer zu sich und reinigte sich am nächsten Tag mit ihnen und ging in den Tempel und zeigte an, dass die Tage der Reinigung beendet sein sollten, sobald für jeden von ihnen das Opfer dargebracht wäre. (4Mo 6,13; 1Kor 9,20)

Die Verhaftung des Paulus

27 Als aber die sieben Tage zu Ende gingen, sahen ihn die Juden aus der Provinz Asia im Tempel und erregten das ganze Volk, legten die Hände an ihn 28 und schrien: Ihr Männer von Israel, helft! Dies ist der Mensch, der alle Menschen an allen Enden lehrt gegen unser Volk, gegen das Gesetz und gegen diese Stätte; dazu hat er auch Griechen in den Tempel geführt und diese heilige Stätte entweiht. (Hes 44,7; Apg 6,13) 29 Denn sie hatten Trophimus, den Epheser, mit ihm in der Stadt gesehen; den, meinten sie, hätte Paulus in den Tempel geführt. (Apg 20,4; 2Tim 4,20) 30 Und die ganze Stadt wurde erregt und es entstand ein Auflauf des Volkes. Sie ergriffen aber Paulus und zogen ihn zum Tempel hinaus. Und sogleich wurden die Tore zugeschlossen. 31 Als sie ihn aber töten wollten, kam die Nachricht hinauf vor den Oberst der Kohorte, dass ganz Jerusalem in Aufruhr sei. 32 Der nahm sogleich Soldaten und Hauptleute und lief hinunter zu ihnen. Als sie aber den Oberst und die Soldaten sahen, hörten sie auf, Paulus zu schlagen. 33 Als nun der Oberst herangekommen war, nahm er ihn fest und ließ ihn fesseln mit zwei Ketten und fragte, wer er wäre und was er getan hätte. (Apg 20,23) 34 Einer aber rief dies, der andre das im Volk. Da er aber nichts Gewisses erfahren konnte wegen des Getümmels, ließ er ihn in die Burg führen. 35 Und als er an die Stufen kam, mussten ihn die Soldaten tragen zum Schutz vor der Gewalt des Volkes. 36 Denn die Menge folgte und schrie: Weg mit ihm! (Lk 23,18; Apg 22,22) 37 Als nun Paulus in die Burg geführt werden sollte, sprach er zu dem Oberst: Darf ich mit dir reden? Der aber sprach: Kannst du Griechisch? 38 Bist du nicht der Ägypter, der vor diesen Tagen einen Aufruhr gemacht und viertausend von den Aufständischen in die Wüste hinausgeführt hat? 39 Paulus aber sprach: Ich bin ein jüdischer Mann aus Tarsus in Kilikien, Bürger einer namhaften Stadt. Ich bitte dich, erlaube mir, zu dem Volk zu reden. 40 Als er es ihm aber erlaubte, trat Paulus auf die Stufen und winkte dem Volk mit der Hand. Da entstand eine große Stille und er redete zu ihnen auf Hebräisch und sprach:

King James Version

1 And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara: 2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth. 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. 6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again. 7 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day. 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. 9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy. 10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus. 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. 12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. 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. 14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done. 15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem. 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. 17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. 18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. 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: 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. 22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. 23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them; 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. 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. 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. 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, 28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place. 29 (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.) 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. 31 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar. 32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul. 33 Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done. 34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle. 35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people. 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? 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? 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. 40 And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,

Paul Goes to Jerusalem

1 And when we had parted from them and set sail, we came by a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.^[1] (Apg 16,10; Apg 16,11) 2 And having found a ship crossing to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail. 3 When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload its cargo. 4 And having sought out the disciples, we stayed there for seven days. And through the Spirit they were telling Paul not to go on to Jerusalem. (Apg 20,23; Apg 21,11) 5 When our days there were ended, we departed and went on our journey, and they all, with wives and children, accompanied us until we were outside the city. And kneeling down on the beach, we prayed (Apg 20,36; Apg 20,38) 6 and said farewell to one another. Then we went on board the ship, and they returned home. 7 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and we greeted the brothers^[2] and stayed with them for one day. (Joh 21,23) 8 On the next day we departed and came to Caesarea, and we entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him. (Apg 6,5; Apg 8,5; Eph 4,11; 2Tim 4,5)

Apg 6,5Apg 8,5Eph 4,112Tim 4,5

9 He had four unmarried daughters, who prophesied. (Lk 2,36; Apg 2,17; Apg 13,1; 1Kor 11,5)

Lk 2,36Apg 2,17Apg 13,11Kor 11,5

10 While we were staying for many days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. (Apg 11,28) 11 And coming to us, he took Paul’s belt and bound his own feet and hands and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘This is how the Jews^[3] at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’” (1Sam 15,27; 1Kön 11,30; Jes 20,3; Jer 13,1; Jer 27,2; Mt 20,19; Apg 9,16; Apg 20,23; Apg 21,31; Apg 21,33)

12 When we heard this, we and the people there urged him not to go up to Jerusalem. (Mt 16,21) 13 Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” (Apg 5,41; Apg 15,26; Apg 20,24; Apg 21,12; Röm 8,36; 2Kor 4,16; 2Kor 12,10; Phil 2,17)

14 And since he would not be persuaded, we ceased and said, “Let the will of the Lord be done.” (Rut 1,18; Mt 6,10) 15 After these days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem. 16 And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing us to the house of Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.

Paul Visits James

17 When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly. (Apg 15,4; Apg 21,7) 18 On the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present. (Apg 11,30; Apg 12,17) 19 After greeting them, he related one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry. (Apg 1,17; Apg 14,27; Röm 15,18) 20 And when they heard it, they glorified God. And they said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed. They are all zealous for the law, (Apg 11,18; Apg 22,3; Röm 10,2; Gal 1,14)

Apg 11,18Apg 22,3Röm 10,2Gal 1,14

21 and they have been told about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or walk according to our customs. (Mk 7,5; Apg 6,14; Apg 15,1; Apg 21,28; Röm 2,28; 1Kor 7,19; Gal 2,14; Jak 1,1)

Mk 7,5Apg 6,14Apg 15,1Apg 21,28Röm 2,281Kor 7,19Gal 2,14Jak 1,1

22 What then is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come. 23 Do therefore what we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow; (Apg 18,18) 24 take these men and purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses, so that they may shave their heads. Thus all will know that there is nothing in what they have been told about you, but that you yourself also live in observance of the law. (Joh 11,55; Apg 21,23; Apg 21,26; Apg 24,18)

Joh 11,55Apg 21,23Apg 21,26Apg 24,18

25 But as for the Gentiles who have believed, we have sent a letter with our judgment that they should abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled,^[4] and from sexual immorality.” (Apg 15,19; Apg 15,29) 26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day he purified himself along with them and went into the temple, giving notice when the days of purification would be fulfilled and the offering presented for each one of them. (4Mo 6,9; 4Mo 6,13; Apg 21,24)

Paul Arrested in the Temple

27 When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and laid hands on him, (Apg 13,50; Apg 21,26; Apg 24,18; Apg 26,21)

Apg 13,50Apg 21,26Apg 24,18Apg 26,21

28 crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and the law and this place. Moreover, he even brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place.” (Apg 6,13; Apg 21,21; Apg 24,6) 29 For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple. (Apg 20,4) 30 Then all the city was stirred up, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut. (2Kön 11,15; Apg 26,21) 31 And as they were seeking to kill him, word came to the tribune of the cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion. (Apg 10,1; Apg 21,30) 32 He at once took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul. (Apg 23,27) 33 Then the tribune came up and arrested him and ordered him to be bound with two chains. He inquired who he was and what he had done. (Apg 12,6; Apg 20,23; Apg 21,11; Apg 22,29; Apg 26,29; Apg 28,20; Eph 6,20; 2Tim 1,16)

Apg 12,6Apg 20,23Apg 21,11Apg 22,29Apg 26,29Apg 28,20Eph 6,202Tim 1,16

34 Some in the crowd were shouting one thing, some another. And as he could not learn the facts because of the uproar, he ordered him to be brought into the barracks. (Apg 19,32; Apg 22,24; Apg 23,10) 35 And when he came to the steps, he was actually carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd, 36 for the mob of the people followed, crying out, “Away with him!” (Lk 23,18; Joh 19,15; Apg 22,22)

Paul Speaks to the People

37 As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he said to the tribune, “May I say something to you?” And he said, “Do you know Greek? 38 Are you not the Egyptian, then, who recently stirred up a revolt and led the four thousand men of the Assassins out into the wilderness?” (Mt 24,26; Apg 5,36) 39 Paul replied, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no obscure city. I beg you, permit me to speak to the people.” (Apg 9,11; Apg 22,3) 40 And when he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the steps, motioned with his hand to the people. And when there was a great hush, he addressed them in the Hebrew language,^[5] saying: (Apg 12,17; Apg 22,2; Apg 26,14)
