Paul decided to go to Jerusalem for the feast of Pentecost. He travelled part of the way by road and part of the way by sailing ship. 

He sailed to a place called Miletus.  Some Christians from Ephesus came to meet him here.  They were the leaders of the Christians in Ephesus. Paul spoke to them. He said, "I am on my way to Jerusalem and I do not know what will happen to me there.  God's Holy Spirit has told me that I will be put in prison and I will have a very hard time. Take care to be good Christians.  Behave like shepherds and watch over the Christians whom you are leading . It is our duty to work hard to help the weak.  You will find more happiness when you give than when you receive."

He knelt down with them and they all prayed.  They were all very sad because Paul had told them that they would never see him again.

They went along with him to say ,"Goodbye", when he went back on to the ship.

The ship sailed to Ptolemais and then went to Caesarea. The Christians at Caesarea begged him not to go to Jerusalem because they knew this would be very dangerous. Paul said, "I am quite ready to go to prison or even to die for the Lord Jesus."

When they saw that his mind was made up they said,"The Lord's will be done."

Paul eventually reached Jerusalem. Some Jews from Ephesus also came there. They saw Paul with a man called Trophimus in the street. Now Trophimus was from Ephesus too and they knew him.  Now Trophimus was a gentile. He was not a Jew.  When they saw Paul in the temple they thought that he had taken Trophimus in with him. Gentiles were not allowed in the main part of the temple and they became very angry.  They grabbed hold of Paul and started beating him. They would probably have killed him but the Roman commander heard what was happening. He set out with some soldiers.
