Acts 21:15-25 - Conflict Over The Gentile Mission
15 And, after these days, having gotten ready, we went up to Jerusalem. 16 And there went with us also some of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an aged disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 And, when we came to Jerusalem, the brethren gladly received us. 18 And, on the following day, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present. 19 And, having saluted them, he narrated, one by one, each of the things God wrought among the gentiles through his ministry.
20 And they, hearing it, were glorifying God, and said to him, "You observe, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews, of those who have believed; and they are all zealous for the law. 21 And they were informed by report concerning you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, nor to walk after the customs. 22 What is it, therefore? They will certainly hear that you have come. 23 Do this, therefore, which we say to you: we have four men who have a vow on them; 24 taking these to yourself, be purified with them, and incur expense for them, that they may shave their heads; and all will know that there is nothing in those things of which they have been instructed concerning you; but that you yourself also are walking orderly, keeping the law. 25 But concerning the gentiles who have believed, we sent to them, having given judgment, that they should keep themselves from idol-sacrifices, and from blood, and from anything strangled, and from fornication."
