021:015 A few days afterwards we loaded our baggage-cattle and continued
our journey to Jerusalem.
021:016 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also joined our party, and brought with them Mnason, a Cyprian, one of the early disciples, at whose house we were to lodge.
021:017 At length we reached Jerusalem, and there the brethren gave
us a hearty welcome.
021:018 On the following day we went with Paul to call on James,
and all the Elders of the Church came also.
021:019 After exchanging friendly greetings, Paul told in detail all that
God had done among the Gentiles through his instrumentality.
021:020 And they, when they had heard his statement, gave the glory to God.
Then they said, "You see, brother, how many tens of thousands
of Jews there are among those who have accepted the faith,
and they are all zealous upholders of the Law.
021:021 Now what they have been repeatedly told about you is that you
teach all the Jews among the Gentiles to abandon Moses,
and that you forbid them to circumcise their children
or observe old-established customs.
021:022 What then ought you to do? They are sure to hear that you
have come to Jerusalem;
021:023 so do this which we now tell you. We have four men here who
have a vow resting on them.
021:024 Associate with these men and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses so that they can shave their heads. Then everybody will know that there is no truth in these stories about you, but that in your own actions you yourself scrupulously obey the Law.
