Acts 21:24-26
Lexham English Bible
24 Take these men and[a] purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses[b] so that they can shave their[c] heads, and everyone will know that the things which they had been informed about you are nothing, but you yourself also agree with observing the law. 25 But concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we have written a letter after[d] deciding they should avoid food sacrificed to idols and blood and what has been strangled and sexual immorality.” 26 Then Paul took along the men on the next day, and[e] after he[f] had purified himself together with them, he entered into the temple courts,[g] announcing the completion of the days of purification until the time[h] the offering would be presented on behalf of each one of them.
