22 “What should we do? The Jewish believers here will learn that you have come. 23 So we will tell you what to do: Four of our men have made a vow[a] to God. 24 Take these men with you and share in their cleansing ceremony.[b] Pay their expenses so that they can shave their heads.[c] This will prove to everyone that the things they have heard about you are not true. They will see that you obey the Law of Moses in your own life.
