Acts 21:17-27

¹⁷And when we were come to Ierusalem the brethren receaved vs gladly.

¹⁸And on the morowe Paul wet in with vs vnto Iames. And all the elders came to geder.

¹⁹And when he had saluted them he tolde by order all thinges that God had wrought amonge the getyls by his ministracion.

²⁰And when they hearde it they glorified the Lorde and sayde vnto him: thou seist brother how many thousande Iewes ther are which beleve and they are all zelous over the lawe.

²¹And they are informed of the that thou teachest all the Iewes which are amonge the gentyls to forsake Moses and sayst that they ought not to circumcise their chyldren nether to live after the customes.

²²What is it therfore? The multitude must nedes come togeder. For they shall heare that thou arte come.

²³Do therfore this that we saye to the. We have .iiii. men which have a vowe on them.

²⁴Them take and purifye thy selfe with them and do cost on them that they maye shave their heeddes and all shall knowe that tho thinges which they have hearde concerninge the are nothinge: but that thou thy selfe also walkest and kepest the lawe.

²⁵For as touchinge the gentyls which beleve we have written and concluded that they observe no soche thinges: but that they kepe them selves from thinges offred to ydoles from bloud from strangled and from fornicacion.

²⁶Then the nexte daye Paul toke the men and purified him selfe with them and entred into the temple declaringe that he observed the dayes of the purificacion vntyll that an offeringe shuld be offred for every one of them.

²⁷And as the seven dayes shuld have bene ended the Iewes which were of Asia when they sawe him in the temple they moved all the people and layde hondes on him
