*
And when he was come (
5631 )
unto us ,
he took (
5660 )
Pauls girdle ,
and bound (
5660 )
his own hands and feet ,
and said (
5627 ),
Thus saith (
5719 )
the Holy Ghost ,
So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind (
5692 )
the man that owneth (
5748 )
this girdle ,
and shall deliver (
5692 )
him into the hands of the Gentiles .
*
And when we heard (
5656 )
these things ,
both we ,
and they of that place ,
besought (
5707 )
him not to go up (
5721 )
to Jerusalem .
*
Then Paul answered (
5662 ),
What mean ye (
5719 )
to weep (
5723 )
and to break (
5723 )
mine heart ?
for I am (
5719 )
ready not to be bound (
5683 )
only ,
but also to die (
5629 )
at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus .
*
And when he would not be persuaded (
5746 ),
we ceased (
5656 ),
saying (
5631 ),
The will of the Lord be done (
5634 ).
*
And after those days we took up our carriages (
5666 ),
and went up (
5707 )
to Jerusalem .
*
There went (
5627 )
with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea ,
and brought (
5723 )
with them one Mnason of Cyprus ,
an old disciple ,
with whom we should lodge (
5686 ).
*
And when we were come (
5637 )
to Jerusalem ,
the brethren received (
5662 )
us gladly .
*
And the day following (
5752 )
Paul went in (
5715 )
with us unto James ;
and all the elders were present (
5633 ).
*
And when he had saluted (
5666 )
them ,
he declared (
5711 )
particularly what things God had wrought (
5656 )
among the Gentiles by his ministry .
*
And when they heard (
5660 )
it ,
they glorified (
5707 )
the Lord ,
and said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Thou seest (
5719 ),
brother ,
how many thousands of Jews there are (
5748 )
which believe (
5761 );
and they are (
5719 )
all zealous of the law :
*
And they are informed (
5681 )
of thee ,
that thou teachest (
5719 )
all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses ,
saying (
5723 )
that they ought not to circumcise (
5721 )
their children ,
neither to walk (
5721 )
after the customs .
*
What is it (
5748 )
therefore ?
the multitude must (
5748 )
needs come together (
5629 ):
for they will hear (
5695 )
that thou art come (
5754 ).
*
Do (
5657 )
therefore this that we say (
5719 )
to thee :
We have (
5748 )
four men which have (
5723 )
a vow on them ;
*
Them take (
5631 ),
and purify thyself (
5682 )
with them ,
and be at charges (
5657 )
with them ,
that they may shave (
5667 )
their heads :
and all may know (
5632 )
that those things ,
whereof they were informed (
5769 )
concerning thee ,
are (
5748 )
nothing ;
but that thou thyself also walkest orderly (
5719 ),
and keepest (
5723 )
the law .
*
As touching the Gentiles which believe (
5761 ),
we have written (
5656 )
and concluded (
5660 )
that they observe (
5721 )
no such thing ,
save only that they keep (
5733 )
themselves from things offered to idols ,
and from blood ,
and from strangled ,
and from fornication .
*
Then Paul took (
5631 )
the men ,
and the next (
5746 )
day purifying himself (
5685 )
with them entered (
5715 )
into the temple ,
to signify (
5723 )
the accomplishment of the days of purification ,
until that an offering should be offered (
5681 )
for every one of them .
*
And when the seven days were almost (
5707 )
ended (
5745 ),
the Jews which were of Asia ,
when they saw (
5666 )
him in the temple ,
stirred up (
5707 )
all the people ,
and laid (
5627 )
hands on him ,
*
Crying out (
5723 ),
Men of Israel ,
help (
5720 ):
This is (
5748 )
the man ,
that teacheth (
5723 )
all men every where against the people ,
and the law ,
and this place :
and further brought (
5627 )
Greeks also into the temple ,
and hath polluted (
5758 )
this holy place .
* (
For they had (
5713 )
seen before (
5761 )
with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian ,
whom they supposed (
5707 )
that Paul had brought (
5627 )
into the temple .)
*
And all the city was moved (
5681 ),
and the people ran together (
5633 ):
and they took (
5637 )
Paul ,
and drew (
5707 )
him out of the temple :
and forthwith the doors were shut (
5681 ).
*
And as they went about (
5723 )
to kill (
5658 )
him ,
tidings came (
5627 )
unto the chief captain of the band ,
that all Jerusalem was in an uproar (
5769 ).
