Acts 21:17-25

17AfterG1161 we arrivedG1096 in JerusalemG2414, 1the brethrenG80 receivedG588 us gladlyG780.

18And the followingG1897 day PaulG3972 wentG1524 in with us to 23JamesG2385, and allG3956 4the eldersG4245 were presentG3854.

19After he had greetedG782 them, he 5began to relateG1834 oneG1520 by oneG1520 the things whichG3739 GodG2316 had doneG4160 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 throughG1223 his 6ministryG1248.

20And when they heardG191 it they began 7glorifyingG1392 GodG2316; and they saidG3004 to him, “You seeG2334, brotherG80, howG4214 manyG4214 8thousandsG3461 there are amongG1722 the JewsG2453 of thoseG3588 who have believedG4100, and they are allG3956 9zealousG2207 for the LawG3551;

21and they have been toldG2727 aboutG4012 you, that you are 10teachingG1321 allG3956 the JewsG2453 who are amongG2596 the GentilesG1484 to forsakeG646 MosesG3475, tellingG3004 them 11not to circumciseG4059 their childrenG5043 norG3366 to 12walkG4043 according to 13the 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 1415are underG2192G1909 a vowG2171;

24takeG3880 them and 16purifyG48 yourself alongG4862 with them, and 17payG1159 their expensesG1159 soG2443 that they may 18shaveG3587 their 19headsG2776; 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, 20having decidedG2919 that they should abstainG5442 from 21meatG3588 sacrificedG1494 to idolsG1494 and from bloodG129 and from what is strangledG4156 and from fornicationG4202.”
