Acts 21:24-26
1599 Geneva Bible
24 Them take, and [a]purify thyself with them, and [b]contribute with them, that they may (A)shave their heads: and all shall know, that those things, whereof they have been informed concerning thee, are nothing, but that thou thyself also walkest and keepest the Law.
25 For as touching the Gentiles, which believe, we have written, and determined that they observe no such thing, but that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from that that is strangled, and from fornication.
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day was purified with them, and entered into the Temple, [c]declaring the accomplishment of the days of the purification, until that an offering should be offered for everyone of them.
