Acts 18:18-22

Tree of Life Version

Sailing East to Revisit Communities

¹⁸ Paul, having stayed many more days, said farewell to the brothers and set sail to Syria, and with him were Priscilla and Aquila. At Cenchrea Paul had his hair cut off, for he was keeping a vow. ¹⁹ When they arrived at Ephesus, Paul left Priscilla and Aquila there. But he himself went into the synagogue and debated with the Jewish people. ²⁰ When they asked him to stay longer, he declined, ²¹ instead taking leave of them while saying, “God willing, I’ll return to you again.”

He set sail from Ephesus. ²² After landing at Caesarea, he went up and greeted Messiah’s community; then he went down to Antioch.
