افتح المصدر ↗We have, with a great deal of pleasure, attended the apostle in his travels throughout the Gentile nations to preach the gospel, and have seen a great harvest of souls gathered in to Christ; there we have seen likewise what persecutions he endured; yet still out of them all the Lord presently delivered him, Ti2 3:11. But now we are to attend him to Jerusalem, and there into lasting bonds; the days of his service now seem to be over, and nothing to remain but days of suffering, days of darkness, for they are many. It is a thousand pities that such a workman should be laid aside; yet so it is, and we must not only acquiesce, as his friends then did, saying, "The will of the Lord be done;" but we must believe, and shall find reason to do so, that Paul in the prison, and at the bar, is as truly glorifying God, and serving Christ's interest, as Paul in the pulpit was. In this chapter we have, I. A journal of Paul's voyage from Ephesus to Caesarea, the next sea-port to Jerusalem, some places he touched at, and his landing there (Act 21:1-7). II. The struggles he had with his friends at Caesarea, who mightily opposed his going up to Jerusalem, but could not prevail (Act 21:8-14). III. Paul's journey from Caesarea to Jerusalem, and the kind entertainment which the Christians there gave him (Act 21:15-17). IV. His compliance with the persuasions of the brethren there, who advised him so far to compliment the Jews as to go and purify that it might appear he was no such enemy to the Mosaic rites and ceremonies as he was reported to be (Act 21:18-26). V. The turning of this very thing against him by the Jews, and the apprehending of him in the temple as a criminal thereupon (Act 21:27-30). VI. The narrow escape he had of being pulled to pieces by the rabble, and the taking of him i…

«أَنَا رَجُلٌ يَهُودِيٌّ وُلِدْتُ فِي طَرْسُوسَ كِيلِيكِيَّةَ، وَلكِنْ رَبَيْتُ فِي هذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ مُؤَدَّبًا عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْ غَمَالاَئِيلَ عَلَى تَحْقِيقِ النَّامُوسِ الأَبَوِيِّ. وَكُنْتُ غَيُورًا للهِ كَمَا أَنْتُمْ جَمِيعُكُمُ الْيَوْمَ.
فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ:«قُمْ وَاذْهَبْ إِلَى الزُّقَاقِ الَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمُسْتَقِيمُ، وَاطْلُبْ فِي بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا رَجُلاً طَرْسُوسِيًّا اسْمُهُ شَاوُلُ . لأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا يُصَلِّي،
هذَا الرَّجُلُ لَمَّا أَمْسَكَهُ الْيَهُودُ وَكَانُوا مُزْمِعِينَ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ، أَقْبَلْتُ مَعَ الْعَسْكَرِ وَأَنْقَذْتُهُ، إِذْ أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّهُ رُومَانِيٌّ.
فَنَهَضَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ الْمَجْمَعِ الَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ مَجْمَعُ اللِّيبَرْتِينِيِّينَ وَالْقَيْرَوَانِيِّينَ وَالإِسْكَنْدَرِيِّينَ، وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ كِيلِيكِيَّا وَأَسِيَّا، يُحَاوِرُونَ اسْتِفَانُوسَ.
وَإِذْ قَارَبَ بُولُسُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْمُعَسْكَرَ قَالَ لِلأَمِيرِ:«أَيَجُوزُ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ لَكَ شَيْئًا؟» فَقَالَ:«أَتَعْرِفُ الْيُونَانِيَّةَ؟
فَاجْتَازَ فِي سُورِيَّةَ وَكِيلِيكِيَّةَ يُشَدِّدُ الْكَنَائِسَ.
وَكَتَبُوا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ هكَذَا:«اَلرُّسُلُ وَالْمَشَايخُ وَالإِخْوَةُ يُهْدُونَ سَلاَمًا إِلَى الإِخْوَةِ الَّذِينَ مِنَ الأُمَمِ فِي أَنْطَاكِيَةَ وَسُورِيَّةَ وَكِيلِيكِيَّةَ:
بَلْ قَدِّسُوا الرَّبَّ الإِلهَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ، مُسْتَعِدِّينَ دَائِمًا لِمُجَاوَبَةِ كُلِّ مَنْ يَسْأَلُكُمْ عَنْ سَبَبِ الرَّجَاءِ الَّذِي فِيكُمْ، بِوَدَاعَةٍ وَخَوْفٍ،
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بُولُسُ:«ضَرَبُونَا جَهْرًا غَيْرَ مَقْضِيٍّ عَلَيْنَا، وَنَحْنُ رَجُلاَنِ رُومَانِيَّانِ، وَأَلْقَوْنَا فِي السِّجْنِ. أَفَالآنَ يَطْرُدُونَنَا سِرًّا؟ كَلاَّ! بَلْ لِيَأْتُوا هُمْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ وَيُخْرِجُونَا».
فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ الإِخْوَةُ أَحْدَرُوهُ إِلَى قَيْصَرِيَّةَ وَأَرْسَلُوهُ إِلَى طَرْسُوسَ.
