Acts 21:24-31

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.

27WhenG5613 theG3588 sevenG2033 daysG2250 were almostG3195 overG4931, some JewsG2453 fromG575 the province of AsiaG7731 sawG2300 Paul atG1722 theG3588 templeG2411. They stirred upG4797 theG3588 wholeG3956 crowdG3793 andG2532 seizedG1911G3588G5495G1909 himG846, 28crying outG2896, “MenG435 of IsraelG2475, help usG997! ThisG3778 isG1510 theG3588 manG444 whoG3588 teachesG1321 everyoneG3956 everywhereG3837 againstG2596 our peopleG2992 andG2532 against our lawG3551 andG2532 against thisG3778 placeG5117. FurthermoreG5037G2089G2532, he has broughtG1521 GreeksG1672 intoG1519 theG3588 templeG2411 andG2532 defiledG2840 thisG3778 holyG40 placeG5117.” 29ForG1063 they hadG1510 previously seenG4308 TrophimusG5161 theG3588 EphesianG2180 withG4862 himG846 inG1722 theG3588 cityG4172, and they assumedG3543 thatG3754 PaulG3972 had broughtG1521 him intoG1519 theG3588 templeG2411.

TheG3588 wholeG3650 cityG4172 was stirred upG2795, andG2532 theG3588 peopleG2992 rushed togetherG1096G4890. They seizedG1949 PaulG3972 and draggedG1670 himG846 out ofG1854 theG3588 templeG2411, andG2532 at onceG2112 theG3588 gatesG2374 were shutG2808. 31While they were tryingG2212 to killG615 himG846, theG3588 commanderG5506 of theG3588 Roman regimentG46862 receivedG305 a reportG5334 thatG3754 allG3650 JerusalemG2419 was in turmoilG4797.
