4 [21:17]And when we arrived at Jerusalem the brothers received us gladly. [21:18]And on the following day Paul went with us to James, and all the elders were present. [21:19]And having saluted them, he related particularly what God had done among the gentiles by his ministry; [21:20]and having heard, they glorified God, and said to him, You see, brother, how many ten thousands there are of those who have believed, among the Jews, and all are zealots of the law; [21:21]and they have been informed of you, that you teach all the Jews among the gentiles to apostatize from Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, nor to walk according to the customs. [21:22]What then is [to be done]? They will hear everywhere that you have come. [21:23]Do this, therefore, which we tell you. We have four men having a vow upon them; [21:24]take them and be purified with them, and pay their expenses, that they may shave their heads, and all will know that the information which they have of you is not correct, but that you walk also yourself keeping the law. [21:25]But concerning the gentiles who have believed, we have sent, judging that they should avoid things offered to idols, and blood, and things strangled, and fornication. [21:26]Then Paul taking the men, on the following day being purified with them went into the temple, announcing the completion of the days of purification till an offering should be offered for each one of them. CHAPTER XX. PAUL'S APPREHENSION BY THE JEWS, HIS RESCUE BY THE ROMANS, HIS ADDRESS, ETC.--A.D. 59. 1 [21:27]AND when the seven days were nearly completed, the Jews from Asia seeing him in the temple excited all the multitude, and laid hands on him, [21:28]crying, Men of Israel, help; this is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place, and besides he has brought Greeks into the temple, and defiled this holy place. [21:29]For they had before seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, and supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple. [21:30]And all the city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people, and taking hold of Paul they dragged him without the temple, and immediately the gates were shut.
