* 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 .
