Chapter 21
17
After we arrived in Jerusalem, the brothers
and sisters
received us gladly.
18
And the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.
19
After he had greeted them, he
began
to relate one by one the things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20
And when they heard
about them,
they
began
glorifying God; and they said to him, 'You see, 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 have been told about you, that you are teaching all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to abandon Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children nor to walk according to the customs.
22
So what is
to be done?
They will certainly hear that you have come.
23
Therefore, do as we tell you: we have four men who have a vow upon themselves;
24
take them along and purify yourself together with them, and pay their expenses so that they may shave their heads; and
then
everyone will know that there is nothing to what they have been told about you, but that you yourself also conform, keeping the Law.
25
But regarding the Gentiles who have believed, we sent a letter, having decided that they should abstain from meat sacrificed to idols and from blood and what is strangled, and from sexual immorality.'
26
Then Paul took along the men, and the next day, after purifying himself together with them, he went into the temple giving notice of the completion of the days of purification, until the sacrifice was offered for each one of them.
27
When the seven days were almost over, the Jews from Asia, upon seeing him in the temple,
began
to stir up all the crowd and laid hands on him,

17
And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18
And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
19
And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20
And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
21
And they are 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 customs.
22
What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
23
Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24
Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
25
As touching the Gentiles which believe, we 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.
26
Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
27
And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,

The following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.
19
After greeting them, he reported in detail what God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20
When they heard it, they glorified God and said, "You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.
21
But they have been informed about you—that you are teaching all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to abandon Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or to live according to our customs.
22
So what is to be done? They will certainly hear that you’ve come.
23
Therefore do what we tell you: We have four men who have made a vow.
24
Take these men, purify yourself along with them, and pay for them to get their heads shaved. Then everyone will know that what they were told about you amounts to nothing, but that you yourself are also careful about observing the law.
25
With regard to the Gentiles who have believed, we have written a letter containing our decision that they should keep themselves from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from what is strangled, and from sexual immorality."
26
So the next day, Paul took the men, having purified himself along with them, and entered the temple, announcing the completion of the purification days when the offering would be made for each of them.

When the seven days were nearly over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd, and seized him,

When we arrived, the brothers and sisters in Jerusalem welcomed us warmly.
18
The next day Paul went with us to meet with James, and all the elders of the Jerusalem church were present.
19
After greeting them, Paul gave a detailed account of the things God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20
After hearing this, they praised God. And then they said, 'You know, dear brother, how many thousands of Jews have also believed, and they all follow the law of Moses very seriously.
21
But the Jewish believers here in Jerusalem have been told that you are teaching all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn their backs on the laws of Moses. They’ve heard that you teach them not to circumcise their children or follow other Jewish customs.
22
What should we do? They will certainly hear that you have come.
23
Here’s what we want you to do. We have four men here who have completed their vow.
24
Go with them to the Temple and join them in the purification ceremony, paying for them to have their heads ritually shaved. Then everyone will know that the rumors are all false and that you yourself observe the Jewish laws.
25
As for the Gentile believers, they should do what we already told them in a letter: They should abstain from eating food offered to idols, from consuming blood or the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality.'
26
So Paul went to the Temple the next day with the other men. They had already started the purification ritual, so he publicly announced the date when their vows would end and sacrifices would be offered for each of them.
27
The seven days were almost ended when some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul in the Temple and roused a mob against him. They grabbed him,

What then is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come.
23
Do therefore what we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow;
24
take these men and purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses, so that they may shave their heads. Thus all will know that there is nothing in what they have been told about you, but that you yourself also live in observance of the law.
25
But as for the Gentiles who have believed, we have sent a letter with our judgment that they should abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality."
26
Then Paul took the men, and the next day he purified himself along with them and went into the temple, giving notice when the days of purification would be fulfilled and the offering presented for each one of them.

Paul greeted them and reported in detail what God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.

When they heard this, they praised God. Then they said to Paul: "You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law.
21
They have been informed that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn away from Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or live according to our customs.
22
What shall we do? They will certainly hear that you have come,
23
so do what we tell you. There are four men with us who have made a vow.
24
Take these men, join in their purification rites and pay their expenses, so that they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know there is no truth in these reports about you, but that you yourself are living in obedience to the law.

As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they should abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality."

18
On the following
day
Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.
19
When he had greeted them, he told in detail those things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20
And when they heard
it,
they glorified the Lord. And they said to him, “You see, brother, how many myriads of Jews there are who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law;
21
but they have been informed about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise
their
children nor to walk according to the customs.
22
What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
23
Therefore do what we tell you: We have four men who have taken a vow.
24
Take them and be purified with them, and pay their expenses so that they may shave
their
heads, and that all may know that those things of which they were informed concerning you are nothing, but
that
you yourself also walk orderly and keep the law.
25
But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written
and
decided that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from
things
offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality.”
26
Then Paul took the men, and the next day, having been purified with them, entered the temple to announce the expiration of the days of purification, at which time an offering should be made for each one of them.

Now when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and laid hands on him,
