Acts 21:17-25

17And when we arrived at Jerusalem the brethren gladly received us.

18And on the morrow Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders came there.

19And having saluted them, he related one by one the things which 1God had wrought among the nations by his ministry.

20And they having heard [it] glorified 2God, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of the Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the law.

21And they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews among the nations apostasy from Moses, saying that they should not circumcise their children, nor walk in the customs.

22What is it then? a multitude must necessarily come together, for they will hear that thou art come.

23This do therefore that we say to thee: We have four men who have a vow on them;

24take these and be purified with them, and pay their expenses, that they may have their heads shaved; and all will know that [of those things] of which they have been informed about thee nothing is [true]; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law.

25But concerning [those of] the nations who have believed, we have written, deciding that they should [observe no such thing, only to] keep themselves both from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication.
