Acts 21:21-24

21and they have been toldG2727 aboutG4012 you, that you are 1teachingG1321 allG3956 the JewsG2453 who are amongG2596 the GentilesG1484 to abandonG646 MosesG3475, tellingG3004 them 2not to circumciseG4059 their childrenG5043 norG3366 to 3walkG4043 according to 4the customsG1485.

22SoG3767 whatG5101 is to be done? They will certainlyG3843 hearG191 that you have comeG2064.

23ThereforeG3767, doG4160 5as we tellG3004 you: we have fourG5064 menG435 who 6have a 7vowG2171 upon themselves;

24takeG3880 them alongG3880 and 8purifyG48 yourself togetherG4862 with them, and 9payG1159 their expensesG1159 soG2443 thatG2443 they may 10shaveG3587 their 11headsG2776; and then everyoneG3956 will knowG1097 that there is nothingG3762 to whatG3739 they have been toldG2727 aboutG4012 you, but that you yourselfG846 alsoG2532 conformG4748, keepingG5442 the LawG3551.
