Acts 21:17-26 - Paul Visits The Leaders Of The Jerusalem Church

17 And when we came to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly. 18 And on the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present. 19 And having greeted them, he reported one by one what God did among the Gentiles through his ministry.

20 And when the men heard, they glorified God, having said to him, Thou see, brother, how many thousands there are of the Jews who have believed, and they are all zealots of the law. 21 And they were informed about thee, that thou teach all the Jews throughout the nations desertion from Moses, telling them not to circumcise the children nor to walk by the customs. 22 What is it therefore? Certainly the multitude needs to get together, for they will hear that thou have come. 23 Therefore do this that we say to thee. Four men are with us who have a vow on themselves. 24 Having taken these, be purified with them. And pay expenses for them, so that they may shave the head. And all may know, that things of which they have been informed about thee, are nothing, but thou thyself also walk orderly, keep 25 And about the Gentiles who have believed, we sent word, having decided for them to keep no such thing, except for them to guard against what is sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication.

26 Then Paul, having taken the men on the following day, having been purified with them, entered into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for each one of them.
