Acts 21:21-26

21and they have been told about you, that you are 1teaching all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them 2not to circumcise their children nor to 3walk according to 4the customs. 22What, then, is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come. 23Therefore do this that we tell you. We have four men who 56are under a vow; 24take them and 7purify yourself along with them, and 8pay their expenses so that they may 9shave their 10heads; and all will know that there is nothing to the things which they have been told about you, but that you yourself also walk orderly, keeping the Law. 25But concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we wrote, 11having decided that they should abstain from 12meat sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication.” 26Then Paul 13took the men, and the next day, 14purifying himself along with them, 15went into the temple giving notice of the completion of the days of purification, until the sacrifice was offered for each one of them.
