Acts 18:20 in Context — Acts 18

18 Paul resta encore assez longtemps à Corinthe. Ensuite il prit congé des frères, et s’embarqua pour la Syrie, avec Priscille et Aquilas, après s’être fait raser la tête à Cenchrées, car il avait fait un vœu.

19 Ils arrivèrent à Éphèse, et Paul y laissa ses compagnons. Étant entré dans la synagogue, il s’entretint avec les Juifs,

20 qui le prièrent de prolonger son séjour.

21 Mais il n’y consentit point, et il prit congé d’eux, en disant: Il faut absolument que je célèbre la fête prochaine à Jérusalem. Je reviendrai vers vous, si Dieu le veut. Et il partit d’Éphèse.

22 Étant débarqué à Césarée, il monta à Jérusalem, et, après avoir salué l’Église, il descendit à Antioche.
