15. After this we packed our things and left for Jerusalem. 16. Some believers from Caesarea accompanied us, and they took us to the home of Mnason, a man originally from Cyprus and one of the early believers. 17. When we arrived, the brothers and sisters in Jerusalem welcomed us warmly. 18. The next day Paul went with us to meet with James, and all the elders of the Jerusalem church were present. 19. After greeting them, Paul gave a detailed account of the things God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his ministry. 20. After hearing this, they praised God. And then they said, "You know, dear brother how many thousands of Jews have also believed, and they all follow the law of Moses very seriously. 21. But the Jewish believers here in Jerusalem have been told that you are teaching all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn their backs on the laws of Moses. They've heard that you teach them not to circumcise their children or follow other Jewish customs. 22. What should we do? They will certainly hear that you have come. 23. "Here's what we want you to do. We have four men here who have completed their vow. 24. Go with them to the Temple and join them in the purification ceremony, paying for them to have their heads ritually shaved. Then everyone will know that the rumors are all false and that you yourself observe the Jewish laws. 25. "As for the Gentile believers, they should do what we already told them in a letter: They should abstain from eating food offered to idols, from consuming blood or the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality." Acts 21: 15-25 NLT 4. Thank God Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for meeting you today. We, Robyn and Biff Thank you for coming today. Please leave your first name and last initial.
