Acts 21:20-24
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 21
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.
King James Version
Chapter 21
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 21
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.
New Living Translation
Chapter 21
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.
English Standard Version
Chapter 21
20
And when they heard it, they glorified God. And they said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed. They are all zealous for the law,
21
and they have been told about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or walk according to our customs.
22
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.
New International Version
Chapter 21
20
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.
New King James Version
Chapter 21
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.
