Acts 21:15-26

[15] And  after  days  we took up our carriages,  and went up  to  [16] There went  with  also  certain of the disciples  of  Caesarea,  and brought  with them  one  Mnason  of Cyprus,  an old  disciple,  with whom  we should lodge.  [17] And  were come  to  Jerusalem,  the brethren  gladly.  [18] And  the day following  Paul  went in  with  unto  James;  and  all  the elders  were present.  [19] And  when he had saluted  them,  he declared  particularly  what things  God  had wrought  among  the Gentiles  by  his  ministry.  [20] And  when they heard  it, they glorified  and  said  unto him,  Thou seest,  brother,  how many  thousands  of Jews  which  believe;  and  they are  all  zealous  of the law:  [21] And  they are informed  of  that  thou teachest  all  the Jews  which are among  the Gentiles  to  forsake  Moses,  saying  that they  not  to circumcise  their children,  neither  to walk  after the customs.  [22] What  therefore?  needs  they will hear  that  thou art come.  [23] Do  therefore  that  we say  four  men  which have  a vow  on  them;  [24] take,  and purify thyself  with  them,  and  be at charges  with  them,  that  they may shave  their heads:  and  all  may know  that those things,  whereof  they were informed  concerning  nothing;  but  that thou thyself  also  walkest orderly,  and keepest  the law.  [25] As  touching  the Gentiles  which believe,  have written  and concluded  that they  that they keep  themselves  from  things offered to idols,  and  from blood,  and  from strangled,  and  from fornication.  [26] Then  Paul  took  the men,  and the next  day  purifying himself  with  them  entered  into  the temple,  to signify  the accomplishment  of the days  of purification,  until  that  an offering  should be offered  for  every  one  of them.
