18. On the next day Paul went in with us to [see] James, and all the elders of the church were present [also].
19. After saluting them, Paul gave a detailed account of the things God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20. And upon hearing it, they adored and exalted and praised and thanked God. And they said to [Paul], You see, brother, how many thousands of believers there are among the Jews, and all of them are enthusiastic upholders of the [Mosaic] Law.
21. Now they have been informed about you that you continually teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn back from and forsake Moses, advising them not to circumcise their children or pay any attention to the observance of the [Mosaic] customs.
22. What then [is best that] should be done? A multitude will come together, for they will surely hear that you have arrived.
