Take Them and Be Purified with Them

As Paul arrives in Jerusalem, the brethren receive them gladly. But they are concerned that some of the Jewish converts are zealous for the law. Others have been spreading rumors that Paul was teaching the Jews that they ought not to circumcise their children or keep the Jewish customs. To prove that was not the case, they wanted him to also pay for four others to end their Nazarite vows. It is a wonderful example of Paul statement in 1 Corinthians 9:19-22:

For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
