Acts 21:15-25
15AfterG3326 theseG3778 daysG2250 we gotG1980 readyG1980 and 1startedG305 on our wayG305 up to JerusalemG2414. 16Some of 2the disciplesG3101 from 3CaesareaG2542 alsoG2532 cameG4905 with us, takingG71 us to MnasonG3416 of 4CyprusG2953, a 5discipleG3101 of longG744 standingG744 with whomG3739 we were to lodgeG3579.
17AfterG1161 we arrivedG1096 in JerusalemG2414, 6the brethrenG80 receivedG588 us gladlyG780. 18And the followingG1897 day PaulG3972 wentG1524 in with us to 78JamesG2385, and allG3956 9the eldersG4245 were presentG3854. 19After he had greetedG782 them, he 10began to relateG1834 oneG1520 by oneG1520 the things whichG3739 GodG2316 had doneG4160 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 throughG1223 his 11ministryG1248. 20And when they heardG191 it they began 12glorifyingG1392 GodG2316; and they saidG3004 to him, “You seeG2334, brotherG80, howG4214 manyG4214 13thousandsG3461 there are amongG1722 the JewsG2453 of thoseG3588 who have believedG4100, and they are allG3956 14zealousG2207 for the LawG3551; 21and they have been toldG2727 aboutG4012 you, that you are 15teachingG1321 allG3956 the JewsG2453 who are amongG2596 the GentilesG1484 to forsakeG646 MosesG3475, tellingG3004 them 16not to circumciseG4059 their childrenG5043 norG3366 to 17walkG4043 according to 18the customsG1485. 22WhatG5101, thenG3767, is to be done? They will certainlyG3843 hearG191 that you have comeG2064. 23ThereforeG3767 doG4160 thisG3778 that we tellG3004 you. We have fourG5064 menG435 who 1920are underG2192G1909 a vowG2171; 24takeG3880 them and 21purifyG48 yourself alongG4862 with them, and 22payG1159 their expensesG1159 soG2443 that they may 23shaveG3587 their 24headsG2776; and allG3956 will knowG1097 that there is nothingG3762 to the things whichG3739 they have been toldG2727 aboutG4012 you, but that you yourselfG846 alsoG2532 walkG4748 orderlyG4748, keepingG5442 the LawG3551. 25But concerningG4012 the GentilesG1484 who have believedG4100, we wroteG1989, 25having decidedG2919 that they should abstainG5442 from 26meatG3588 sacrificedG1494 to idolsG1494 and from bloodG129 and from what is strangledG4156 and from fornicationG4202.”
