* And after these days , having got our effects ready , we went up to Jerusalem . * And [some ] of the disciples from Caesarea went with us , bringing [with them ] a certain Mnason , a Cyprian , an old disciple , with whom we were to lodge . * And when we arrived at Jerusalem the brethren gladly received us . * And on the morrow Paul went in with us to James , and all the elders came there . * And having saluted them , he related one by one the things which God had wrought among the nations by his ministry . * And they having heard [it ] glorified God , and said to him , Thou seest , brother , how many myriads there are of the Jews who have believed , and all are zealous of the law . * And they have been informed concerning thee , that thou teachest all the Jews among the nations apostasy from Moses , saying that they should not circumcise their children , nor walk in the customs . * What is it then ? a multitude must necessarily come together , for they will hear that thou art come . * This do therefore that we say to thee : We have four men who have a vow on them ; * take these and be purified with them , and pay their expenses , that they may have their heads shaved ; and all will know that [of those things ] of which they have been informed about thee nothing is [true ]; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly , keeping the law . * But concerning [those of ] the nations who have believed , we have written , deciding that they should [observe no such thing , only to ] keep themselves both from things offered to idols , and from blood , and from things strangled , and from fornication . * Then Paul , taking the men , on the next day , having been purified , entered with them into the temple , signifying the time the days of the purification would be fulfilled , until the offering was offered for every one of them .
