Acts 21:17-40

17And when we arrived at JerusalemG2414 the brethren gladly received us. 18And on the morrow PaulG3972 went in with us to JamesG2385, and all the eldersG4245 cameG3854 there. 19And having saluted them, he related oneG1520 by oneG1520 the thingsG3739 which 1GodG2316 had wrought among the nationsG1484 by his ministryG1248. 20And they having heardG191 [it] glorifiedG1392 2GodG2316, and saidG3004 to him, Thou seest, brotherG80, howG4214 manyG4214 myriadsG3461 there areG1510 of the JewsG2453 who have believedG4100, and all areG1510 zealousG2207 of the lawG3551. 21And they have been informed concerningG4012 thee, that thou teachest all the JewsG2453 among the nationsG1484 apostasyG646 from MosesG3475, sayingG3004 that they should not circumciseG4059 their childrenG5043, nor walkG4043 in the customsG1485. 22What isG1510 it thenG3767? a multitudeG4128 must necessarily comeG2064 togetherG4905, for they will hearG191 that thou art comeG2064. 23This do thereforeG3767 that we sayG3004 to thee: We have fourG5064 menG435 who have a vowG2171 on them; 24takeG3880 these and beG1510 purifiedG48 with them, and pay their expenses, that they may have their headsG2776 shaved; and all will knowG1097 that [of those thingsG3778] of which they have beenG1510 informed about thee nothing isG1510 [true]; but that thou thyself alsoG2532 walkest orderly, keepingG5442 the lawG3551. 25But concerningG4012 [those of] the nationsG1484 who have believedG4100, we have written, deciding that they should [observe no such thing, only to] keepG5442 themselves both from things offered to idols, and from bloodG129, and from things strangled, and from fornication. 26ThenG5119 PaulG3972, takingG3880 the menG435, on the next dayG2250, having been purifiedG48, entered with them into the temple, signifying the time the daysG2250 of the purification would be fulfilled, until the offeringG4376 was offeredG4374 for every oneG1520 of them. 27And whenG5613 the sevenG2033 daysG2250 were nearly completed, the JewsG2453 from AsiaG773, having seenG2300 him in the temple, set all the crowdG3793 in a tumult, and laidG1911 handsG5495 upon him, 28cryingG2896, IsraelitesG2475, helpG997! this isG1510 the manG444 who teachesG1321 all everywhereG3837 against the peopleG2992, and the lawG3551, and this placeG5117, and has broughtG1521 GreeksG1672 too into the templeG2411, and profaned this holyG40 placeG5117. 29For they had before seen TrophimusG5161 the EphesianG2180 with him in the cityG4172, whom they supposed that PaulG3972 had broughtG1521 into the temple. 30And the wholeG3650 cityG4172 was movedG2795, and there was a concourse of the peopleG2992; and having laid holdG1949 on PaulG3972 they drewG1670 him out of the temple, and immediatelyG2112 the doorsG2374 were shutG2808. 31And as they were seekingG2212 to killG615 him, a representation cameG305 to the chiliarch of the band that the wholeG3650 of JerusalemG2419 was in a tumult; 32who, takingG3880 with him immediatelyG1824 soldiersG4757 and centurionsG1543, ran down upon them. But they, seeingG3708 the chiliarch and the soldiersG4757, ceasedG3973 beatingG5180 PaulG3972. 33Then the chiliarch came up and laid holdG1949 upon him, and commandedG2753 [him] to beG1510 boundG1210 with twoG1417 chainsG254, and inquiredG4441 who he might beG1510, and what he had done. 34And different persons cried some different thing in the crowdG3793. But he, not being ableG1410 to knowG1097 the certainty on accountG1223 of the uproarG2351, commandedG2753 him to be broughtG71 into the fortress. 35But whenG3753 he got upon the stairsG304 it was so that he was borneG941 by the soldiersG4757 on accountG1223 of the violenceG970 of the crowdG3793. 36For the multitudeG4128 of the peopleG2992 followedG190, cryingG2896, AwayG142 with him. 37But as he was about to be led into the fortress, PaulG3972 saysG3004 to the chiliarch, Is it allowed me to sayG3004 somethingG5100 to thee? And he saidG3004, Dost thou knowG1097 GreekG1676? 38Thou art not then that EgyptianG124 who before these daysG2250 raised a sedition and led out into the wildernessG2048 the fourG5070 thousandG5070 menG435 of the assassins? 39But PaulG3972 saidG3004, I amG1510 a JewG2453 of TarsusG5018, citizenG4177 of no insignificant cityG4172 of CiliciaG2791, and I beseech of thee, allowG2010 me to speakG2980 to the peopleG2992. 40And when he had allowedG2010 him, PaulG3972, standingG2476 on the stairsG304, beckoned with his handG5495 to the peopleG2992; and a greatG4183 silenceG4602 having been made, he addressed them in the HebrewG1446 tongue, sayingG3004,
