15 Then we got ready to go to Jerusalem.
16 Some of the followers from Caesarea went with us and took us to stay in the home of Mnason. He was from Cyprus and had been a follower from the beginning.
17 When we arrived in Jerusalem, the Lord's followers gladly welcomed us.
18 Paul went with us to see James the next day, and all the church leaders were present.
19 Paul greeted them and told how God had used him to help the Gentiles.
20 Everyone who heard this praised God and said to Paul:My friend, you can see how many tens of thousands of the Jewish people have become followers! And all of them are eager to obey the Law of Moses.
21 But they have been told that you are teaching those who live among the Gentiles to disobey this Law. They claim that you are telling them not to circumcise their sons or to follow Jewish customs.
