| 19 | And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself went into the synagogue and argued with the Jews. |
| 20 | When they asked him to stay for a longer period, he declined; |
| 21 | but on taking leave of them he said, "I will return to you if God wills," and he set sail from Ephesus. |
| 22 | When he had landed at Caesare'a, he went up and greeted the church, and then went down to Antioch. |
| 23 | After spending some time there he departed and went from place to place through the region of Galatia and Phryg'ia, strengthening all the disciples. |
