We boarded a ship from Adramyttium that was about to sail for ports along the coast of the province of Asia. When we headed out to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, came with us.
Aristarchus, who’s in prison with me, sends you his greetings. So does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. You’ve been given directions about him. If he comes to you, welcome him.
But when it was time to leave, we continued on our way. All the believers, including their whole families, went with us out of the city. There on the beach we all got down on our knees to pray.
A number of those who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them in public. When they figured out how much these scrolls were worth, it turned out to be more than someone could earn in two lifetimes.
