Acts 21:24-31
24takeG3880 them and 1purifyG48 yourself alongG4862 with them, and 2payG1159 their expensesG1159 soG2443 that they may 3shaveG3587 their 4headsG2776; 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, 5having decidedG2919 that they should abstainG5442 from 6meatG3588 sacrificedG1494 to idolsG1494 and from bloodG129 and from what is strangledG4156 and from fornicationG4202.” 26ThenG5119 PaulG3972 7tookG3880 the menG435, and the nextG2192 dayG2250, 8purifyingG48 himself alongG4862 with them, 9wentG1524 into the templeG2413 givingG1229 noticeG1229 of the completionG1604 of the daysG2250 of purificationG49, untilG2193 the sacrificeG4376 was offeredG4374 for eachG1538 oneG1520 of them.
27WhenG5613 10the sevenG2033 daysG2250 were almostG3195 overG4931, 11the JewsG2453 from 1213AsiaG773, upon seeingG2300 him in the templeG2413, began to stirG4797 up allG3956 the crowdG3793 and laidG1911 handsG5495 on him, 28cryingG2896 out, “MenG435 of IsraelG2475, comeG997 to our aidG997! 14ThisG3778 is the manG444 who preachesG1321 to allG3956 menG3956 everywhereG3836 againstG2596 our peopleG2992 and the LawG3551 and thisG3778 placeG5117; and besidesG2089 he has evenG2532 broughtG1521 GreeksG1672 into the templeG2413 and has 15defiledG2840 thisG3778 holyG40 placeG5117.” 29For they had previouslyG4308 seenG4308 16TrophimusG5161 the 17EphesianG2180 in the cityG4172 with him, and they supposedG3543 that PaulG3972 had broughtG1521 him into the templeG2413. 30ThenG2532 allG3650 the cityG4172 was provokedG2795, and 18the peopleG2992 rushedG4890 togetherG4890, and takingG1949 holdG1949 of PaulG3972 they 19draggedG1670 him out of the templeG2413, and immediatelyG2112 the doorsG2374 were shutG2808. 31While they were seekingG2212 to killG615 him, a reportG5334 cameG305 up to the 20commanderG5506 of the 21Roman 22cohortG4686 that allG3650 JerusalemG2419 was in confusionG4797.
