Acts 21:18-26

18TheG3588 nextG1966 day PaulG3972 went inG1524 withG4862 usG1473 toG4314 see JamesG2385, andG5037 allG3956 theG3588 eldersG4245 were presentG3854. 19Paul greetedG782 themG846 and recountedG1834 oneG1520 byG2596 oneG1538 the things thatG3739 GodG2316 had doneG4160 amongG1722 theG3588 GentilesG1484 throughG1223 hisG846 ministryG1248.

When they heardG191 this, they glorifiedG1392 GodG2316. ThenG5037 they saidG2036 toG846 Paul, “You seeG2334, brotherG80, how manyG4214 thousandsG3461 ofG1722 JewsG2453 have believedG4100, andG2532 allG3956 of them areG5225 zealousG2207 for theG3588 lawG3551. 21ButG1161 they are under the impressionG2727G4012 thatG3754 youG4771 teachG1321 allG3956 the JewsG2453 whoG3588 live amongG2596 theG3588 GentilesG1484 to forsakeG646G575 MosesG3475, tellingG3004 themG846 notG3361 to circumciseG4059 their childrenG5043 or observeG4043G3588 our customsG1485. 22WhatG5101 thenG3767 shouldG1510 we do? They will certainly hearG3843G191 thatG3754 you have comeG2064.

23ThereforeG3767 doG4160 whatG3778G3739 we adviseG3004 youG4771. There areG1510 fourG5064 menG435 with usG1473 who have takenG1909G1438G2192 a vowG2171. 24TakeG3880 theseG3778 men, purify yourselfG48 along withG4862 themG846, andG2532 pay their expensesG1159G1909G846 soG2443 they can haveG3588 their headsG2776 shavedG3587. ThenG2532 everyoneG3956 will knowG1097 thatG3754 thereG1510 is no truthG3762 to these rumorsG2727 aboutG4012 youG4771, butG235 that youG846 alsoG2532 liveG4748 in obedienceG5442 to theG3588 lawG3551.

As forG4012 theG3588 GentileG1484 believersG4100, weG1473 have writtenG1989 to them our decisionG2919 that theyG846 must abstainG5442 fromG3588 food sacrificed to idolsG1494, from bloodG129, from the meat of strangled animalsG4156, andG2532 from sexual immoralityG4202.”

26So theG3588 nextG2192 dayG2250 PaulG3972 tookG3880 theG3588 menG435 and purified himselfG48 along withG4862 themG846. Then he enteredG1524G1519 theG3588 templeG2411 to give noticeG1229 of theG3588 dateG2250 when their purificationG49 would be completeG1604 and theG3588 offeringG4376 would be madeG4374 forG5228 eachG1538G1520 of themG846.
