Acts 21:15-25

15After these days we got ready and 1started on our way up to Jerusalem. 16Some of 2the disciples from 3Caesarea also came with us, taking us to Mnason of 4Cyprus, a 5disciple of long standing with whom we were to stay.

17After we arrived in Jerusalem, 6the brothers and sisters received us gladly. 18And the following day Paul went in with us to 78James, and all 9the elders were present. 19After he had greeted them, he 10began to relate one by one the things which God had done among the Gentiles through his 11ministry. 20And when they heard about them, they began 12glorifying God; and they said to him, “You see, brother, how many 13thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all 14zealous for the Law; 21and they have been told about you, that you are 15teaching all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to abandon Moses, telling them 16not to circumcise their children nor to 17walk according to 18the customs. 22So what is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come. 23Therefore, do 19as we tell you: we have four men who 20have a 21vow upon themselves; 24take them along and 22purify yourself together with them, and 23pay their expenses so that they may 24shave their 25heads; and then everyone will know that there is nothing to what they have been told about you, but that you yourself also conform, keeping the Law. 25But regarding the Gentiles who have believed, we sent a letter, 26having decided that they should abstain from 27meat sacrificed to idols and from blood and what is 28strangled, and from sexual immorality.”
