ACT 18:18–23, engwebp
¹⁸Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
¹⁹He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
²⁰When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
²¹but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
²²When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
²³Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.

Verses tagged with this entry

Names in the World English Bible text that carry this entry’s tag. They are carried over from the tags on the Korean Revised Version, which are matched by name inside chapters that already have collected evidence, and a verse where the English says “he” carries none. All await human review. They are a separate list from the source passages above. An empty list does not mean the entry is absent from the text.
