Acts 21:17–28

¹⁷And when we were come to Jerusalem, ⁱthe brethren ^kreceived us gladly. ¹⁸And the day following Paul went in with us unto ^lJames; and all ^mthe elders were present. ¹⁹And when he had saluted them, he ⁿdeclared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by ^ohis ministry. ²⁰And when they heard it, they ^pglorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all ^qzealous of the law: ²¹And they ^rare informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the ^scustoms. ²²What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. ²³Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have ^ua vow on them; ²⁴Them take, and ^tpurify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may ^ushave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof ^rthey were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law. ²⁵As touching the Gentiles which believe, ^xwe have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication. ²⁶Then Paul took the men, and the next day ^tpurifying himself with them ^yentered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that ^zan offering should be offered for every one of them. ²⁷And when ^athe seven days were almost ended, ^bthe Jews which were of ^cAsia, ^bdwhen they saw him in the temple, ^estirred up all the people, and ^flaid hands on him, ²⁸Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and ^gthe law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and ^hhath polluted this holy place.
