an old disciple, with whom
we should lodge.

(17)And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us
gladly. (18)And on the following day, Paul went in with us to James;
and all the elders were present. (19)And having embraced them, he
recounted particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles
through his ministry.

(20)And they, hearing it, glorified the Lord. And they said to him:
Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are who believe;
and they are all zealots for the law. (21)And they were informed
concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the
Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they should not circumcise
their children, nor walk after the customs. (22)What is it therefore?

the man who teaches all, everywhere, against the people, and the law,
and this place; and further also, he brought Greeks into the temple,
and has polluted this holy place. (29)For they had before seen with
him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul
brought into the temple. (30)And all the city was moved, and the
people ran together; and laying hold of Paul, they dragged him out of
the temple; and forthwith the doors were shut.

(31)And while they were seeking to kill him, a report came up to the
chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar;
