19 Y llegó á Efeso, y los dejó allí: y él entrando en la sinagoga, disputó con los Judíos,

20 Los cuales le rogaban que se quedase con ellos por más tiempo; mas no accedió,

21 Sino que se despidió de ellos, diciendo: Es menester que en todo caso tenga la fiesta que viene, en Jerusalem; mas otra vez volveré á vosotros, queriendo Dios. Y partió de Efeso.

22 Y habiendo arribado á Cesarea subió [á Jerusalem]; y después de saludar á la iglesia, descendió á Antioquía.
