1 Y habiéndonos hecho á la vela después que nos separamos de ellos, fuimos camino derecho á Coos, y el día siguiente á Rhodas, y desde allí á Pátara.
1 When we had departed from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 Y habiendo hallado un navío que pasaba á Phenicia: entramos en él, y nos hicímos á la vela.
2 Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
3 Y habiendo avistado á Chypre, dexándola á la izquierda, continuamos nuestro rumbo hácia la Syria, y arribamos á Tyro: porque el navío habia de dexar allí su carga.
3 When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for the ship was there to unload her cargo.
4 Y como hallásemos discípulos, nos detuvimos allí siete días: Y decían Pablo por el Espíritu, que no subiese á Jerusalém.
4 Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5 Y pasados estos días, salimos de allí, acompañándonos todos con sus mugeres y con sus hijos hasta fuera de la ciudad, y puestos de rodillas en la ribera, hicimos oraeion.
5 When those days were over, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
6 Y despidiéndonos unos de otros, entramos en el navio: y ellos se volviéron á sus casas.
6 After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.
7 Nosotros, concluida nuestra navegación, de Tyro pasamos á Ptolemaida: y habiendo saludado á los hermanos, nos detuvimos un día con ellos.
7 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.
8 Y al día siguiente partiendo de allí, llegamos á Cesaréa. Y entrando en casa de Phelipe el Evangelista, que era uno de los siete, nos hospedamos en su casa.
8 On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9 Y tenía éste quatro hijas vírgenes, que prophetizaban.
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10 Y durante la mansion que hicimos allí por algunos días, Ilegó de la Judéa un Propheta, por nombre Agabo.
10 As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11 Este como vino á nosotros, tomó el ceñidor de Pablo, y atándose los pies y las manos, dixo: Esto dice el Espíritu Santo: Así atarán los Judíos en Jerusalém al varón cuyo es éste cíngulo, y lo entregarán en manos de los Gentiles.
11 Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
12 Quando oímos esto nosotros, y los que eran de aquel lugar, le rogábamos que no subiese á Jerusalém.
12 When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Entónces Pablo respondió diciendo: ¿Qué haceis llorando y quebrantándome el corazón? Porque yo estoy aparejado, no solo para ser atado, sino también para morir en Jerusalém, por el nombre del Señor Jesús.
13 Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
14 Y viendo que no le podíamos persuadir, no le importunamos mas, diciendo: Hágase la voluntad del Señor.
14 When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
15 Despues de estos días habiéndonos prevenido, subimos á Jerusalém.
15 After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Y algunos de los discípulos viniéron también con nosotros desde Cesaréa, los quales llevaban consigo á un Mnasón de Chypre, discípulo antiguo, para hospedarnos en su casa.
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
17 Y quando llegamos á Jerusalém, los hermanos nos recibiéron de buena voluntad.
17 When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18 Y el día siguiente Pablo entró con nosotros á Santiago, en cuya casa se juntáron todos los Ancianos.
18 The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
19 Y habiéndolos saludado, les contó una por una todas las cosas que Dios habia hecho entre los Gentiles por su ministerio.
19 When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 Y quando ellos lo oyéron, glorificaban á Dios, y le dixéron: Bien ves, hermano, quantos millares de Judíos son los que han creido, y todos son zeladores de la Ley.
20 They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.
21 Y han oido decir de tí, que enseñas á los Judíos, que están entre los Gentiles, que dexen á Moysés, diciendo: Que no deben circuncidar á sus hijos, ni andar según los ritos.
21 They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to walk after the customs.
22 ¿Pues qué se ha de hacer? De cierto es menester que la multitud se junte porque oirán que tu has venido.
22 What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
23 Haz pues lo que te vamos á decir: Tenemos aquí quatro varones, que tienen voto sobre sí.
23 Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
24 Toma estos contigo, santificate con ellos, y hazles la costa, para que se raygan las cabezas: y sabrán todos, que es falso quanto de tí oyéron, y que por el contrario sigues tú guardando la Ley.
24 Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the law.
25 Y acerca de aquellos que creyéron de los Gentiles, nosotros hemos escrito, ordenando, que se abstengan de lo que fuere sacrificado á los ídolos, y de sangre, y de ahogado, y de fornicación.
25 But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”
26 Entónces Pablo tomando consigo aquellos hombres, y purificado con ellos, el día siguiente entró en el templo, haciendo saber el cumplimiento de los días de la purificacion, hasta que se hiciese la ofrenda por cada uno de ellos.
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
27 Y quando se acababan los siete días, los Judíos que estaban allí del Asia, quando le vieron en el templo, alborotáron todo el pueblo, y le echáron mano, diciendo á gritos:
27 When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,
28 Varones de Israél, favor: Este es aquel hombre, que por todas partes enseña á todos contra el pueblo y contra la Ley, y contra éste lugar; y demas de esto ha introducido los Gentiles en el templo, y ha profanado éste santo lugar.
28 crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place!”
29 Porque habian visto andar con él por la ciudad á Trophimo de Epheso, y creyéron que le había metido Pablo en el templo.
29 For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30 Y se conmovió toda la ciudad, y concurrió el pueblo. Y trabando de Pablo, le arrastráron fuera del templo, y luego fuéron cerradas las puertas.
30 All the city was moved and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
31 Y queriéndole matar, fué dado aviso al Tribuno de la cohorte, que toda Jerusalém estaba en alboroto.
31 As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 El tomó luego soldados y centuriones, y corrió allá. Ellos, quando vieron al Tribuno y á los soldados, cesáron de herir á Pablo.
32 Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
33 Entonces se llegó el Tribuno, le prendió, y le mandó atar con dos cadenas; y le preguntó quién era; y qué había hecho.
33 Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
34 Y entre el tropel de la gente los unos gritaban uno, y los otros otro. Viendo pues que no podía saber cosa cierta por causa del alboroto, lo mandó llevar á la fortaleza.
34 Some shouted one thing and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
35 Y quando llegó á las gradas, fué necesario que los soldados le llevasen en peso por la violencia del pueblo.
35 When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36 Porque le seguia la multitud de pueblo gritando: Quítale la vida.
36 for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”
37 Y quando comenzaban ya á meter á Pablo en la fortaleza, dixo al Tribuno: ¿Me es permitido hablarte dos palabras? Y él respondió: ¿Sabes el Griego?
37 As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?
38 ¿Eres tú quizá aquel Egypcio que pocos días ha moviste un alboroto, y llevaste al desierto quatro mil hombres salteadores?
38 Aren’t you then the Egyptian who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”
39 Y Pablo le dixo: Yo en verdad soy hombre Judío, ciudadano de Tarso, noble ciudad de la Cilicia. Mas te ruego que me permitas hablar al pueblo.
39 But Paul said, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”
40 Y quando se lo permitió el Tribuno, poniéndose en pie sobre las gradas, hizo señal al pueblo con la mano: y habiendo quedado todos en silencio, habló Pablo en lengua Hebréa, diciendo:
40 When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
This was the Bishop of Jerusalem; and to him (Paul) is sent on an earlier occasion. This (James) was brother of the Lord; a great and admirable man. (To him, it says,) "Paul entered in with us." Mark the (Bishop's) unassuming behavior: "and the elders" (were present).

This man gives directions to Paul himself, when he was after this come up again to Jerusalem, saying, "Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are of them that are come together." So great was his understanding and his zeal, or rather so great the power of Christ.

Thus, for instance, both Peter appears to have been "girded," and Paul; for it saith, "the man that owneth this girdle." And Elijah too was thus arrayed, and every one of the saints, because they were at work continually, laboring, and busying themselves either in journeyings, or about some other necessary matter; and not for this cause only, but also …

For indeed even Paul was of them, and the thousands that believed in Jerusalem; for, "thou seest it is said, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe." And if some continued in their sin, to themselves let them impute their punishment.
