[ Read Chapter | Discuss these Verses ] - 15 After these days we got ready and started R1295 on our way up to Jerusalem. 16 Some of the R1296 disciples from Caesarea R1297 also came with us, taking us to Mnason of Cyprus, R1298 a disciple R1299 of long standing with whom we were to lodge. 17 After we arrived in Jerusalem, the R1300 brethren received us gladly. 18 And the following day Paul went in with us to James, R1301 F478 and all the R1302 elders were present. 19 After he had greeted them, he began R1303 to relate one by one the things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry. R1304 20 And when they heard it they began glorifying R1305 God; and they said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands F479 there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous R1306 for the Law; 21 and they have been told about you, that you are teaching R1307 all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not R1308 to circumcise their children nor to walk F480 according to the R1309 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 are R1310 F481 under a vow; 24 take them and purify R1311 yourself along with them, and pay F482 their expenses so that they may shave R1312 their heads; F483 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, having R1313 decided that they should abstain from meat F484 sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication." 26 Then Paul took F485 the men, and the next day, purifying R1314 himself along with them, went R1315 into the temple giving notice of the completion of the days of purification, until the sacrifice was offered for each one of them.
