Acts 21:23-26

23 "Therefore do this that we tell you. We have four men who 1are under * a vow;
24 take them and 2purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so that they may 3shave 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.
25 "But concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we wrote, 4having decided that they should abstain from meat sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication."
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day, 5purifying himself along with them, 6went into the temple giving notice of the completion of the days of purification, until the sacrifice was offered for each one of them.
