Acts 21:21-28

21 and they have been told about you that you teach all ^athe Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, ^btelling them ^cnot to circumcise their children or ^dwalk according to ^eour customs. 22 What then is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come. 23 Do therefore what we tell you. We have four men ^fwho are under a vow; 24 take these men and ^gpurify yourself along with them and pay their expenses, ^hso that they may shave their heads. Thus all will know that there is nothing in what they have been told about you, but that you yourself also live in observance of the law. 25 But as for the Gentiles who have believed, ⁱwe have sent a letter with our judgment that they should abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts omit and from what has been strangled} and from sexual immorality.” 26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day ^khe purified himself along with them and ^lwent into the temple, giving notice when the days of purification would be fulfilled and ^mthe offering presented for each one of them.

Paul Arrested in the Temple

27 When ⁿthe seven days were almost completed, ^othe Jews from Asia, ^pseeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and laid hands on him, 28 crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who ^qis teaching everyone everywhere against the people and ^rthe law and ^sthis place. Moreover, he even brought Greeks into the temple and ^thas defiled ^uthis holy place.”
