Acts:21:15-26
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And after these days ,
having made ready ,
we went up to Jerusalem .
*
And also some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us ,
bringing Mnason ,
a certain Cypriot ,
an ancient disciple ,
with whom we might lodge .
*
And we being in Jerusalem ,
the brothers joyfully received us .
*
And on the next day ,
Paul went in with us to James .
And all the elders came .
*
And having greeted them ,
he related one by one what things God had worked among the nations through his ministry .
*
And hearing ,
they glorified the Lord ,
and said to him ,
You see ,
brother ,
how many myriads there are of Jews that have believed ,
and all are zealous ones of the Law .
*
And they were informed about you ,
that you teach falling away from Moses ,
telling all the Jews throughout the nations not to circumcise their children ,
nor to walk in the customs .
*
What then is it ?
At all events ,
a multitude must come together ,
for they will hear that you have come .
*
Then do this ,
what we say to you :
There are four men who have a vow on themselves ;
*
taking these ,
be purified with them ,
and be at expense on them ,
that they may shave the head .
And all shall know that all what they have been told about you is nothing ,
but you yourself walk orderly ,
keeping the Law .
*
And as to the believing nations ,
we joined in writing ,
judging them to observe no such thing ,
except to keep themselves from both idol sacrifice ,
and the blood ,
and a thing strangled ,
and from fornication .
*
Then taking the men on the next day ,
being purified with them ,
Paul went into the temple ,
declaring the fulfillment of the days of the purification ,
until the offering should be offered for each one of them .
