Acts 21:18-26

¹⁸And the next day Paul went in with vs vnto Iames: and all the Elders were there assembled.

¹⁹And when he had embraced them, hee tolde by order all things, that God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministration.

²⁰So when they heard it, they glorified God, and sayd vnto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousand Iewes there are which beleeue, and they are all zealous of the Law:

²¹Now they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Iewes, which are among the Gentiles, to forsake Moses, and sayest that they ought not to circumcise their sonnes, neither to liue after the customes.

²²What is then to be done? the multitude must needes come together: for they shall heare that thou art come.

²³Doe therefore this that we say to thee. We haue foure men, which haue made a vowe,

²⁴Them take, and purifie thy selfe with them, and contribute with them, that they may shaue their heads: and all shall knowe, that those things, whereof they haue bene informed concerning thee, are nothing, but that thou thy selfe also walkest and keepest the Lawe.

²⁵For as touching ye Gentiles, which beleeue, we haue written, and determined that they obserue no such thing, but that they keepe themselues from things offred to idoles, and from blood, and from that that is strangled, and from fornication.

²⁶Then Paul tooke the men, and the next day was purified with them, and entred into the Temple, declaring the accomplishment of the dayes of the purification, vntill that an offering should be offered for euery one of them.
