Acts 21:14-24

14 And since he would not be persuaded, we fell silent, remarking, "¹The will of the Lord be done!"

Paul at Jerusalem

15 After these days we got ready and ²started on our way up to Jerusalem.

16 Some of ³the disciples from ⁴Caesarea also came with us, taking us to Mnason of ⁵Cyprus, a ⁶disciple of long standing with whom we were to lodge.

17 After we arrived in Jerusalem, ⁷the brethren received us gladly.

18 And the following day Paul went in with us to ⁸James, and all ⁹the elders were present.

19 After he had greeted them, he ¹⁰began to relate one by one the things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ¹¹ministry.

20 And when they heard it they began ¹²glorifying 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 ¹³zealous for the Law;

21 and they have been told about you, that you are ¹⁴teaching all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them ¹⁵not to circumcise their children nor to walk according to ¹⁶the customs.

22 "What, then, is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come.

23 "Therefore do this that we tell you. We have four men who ¹⁷are under * a vow;

24 take them and ¹⁸purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so that they may ¹⁹shave their heads; and all will know that there is nothing to the things which they have been told about you, but that you yourself also walk orderly, keeping the Law.
