are among the Gentiles, apostacy from Moses,
saying, That they should not circumcise the children, nor walk after
the usual practices. (22)What then is to be done? The multitude must
certainly be assembled; for they will hear that thou art come. (23)Do
this therefore which we say to thee: we have four men, who have a vow
upon themselves; (24)them take with thee, be purified with them, and be
at the same expence as they, that they may shave their heads: and all
men will know that there is no truth in the things reported of thee,

tribune of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion. (32)Who
instantly taking soldiers and centurions ran down unto them: and when
they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they left off beating Paul.

(33)Then the tribune approaching him, laid hold on him, and ordered him
to be bound with two chains; and asked who he was, and what he had
