Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 21:17-26

21:17-23:35 JERUSALEM FINALLY REJECTS THE GOSPELDanger in Jerusalem (21:17-26)Over the previous ten years the church in Jerusalem had become narrower in its outlook. As leaders of broader outlook such as Peter, John and Barnabas moved out to other areas, the Jewish Christians left in Jerusalem slipped back into legalism. At the Jerusalem meeting of Chapter 15, James and his like-minded fellow elders had successfully defended the Gentiles, but they now had little influence over the members at... read more

What is it therefore? they will certainly hear that thou art come. Do therefore this that we say unto thee: We have four men that have a vow on them; these take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges for them, that they may shave their heads: and all shall know that there is no truth in the things whereof they have been informed concerning thee; but that thou thyself walkest orderly, keeping the law.It is true, of course, that Paul himself, as a Jew, kept many of the customs of Jews,... read more

But as touching the Gentiles that have believed, we wrote, giving judgment that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication.This repetition of the agreement of the so-called council in Jerusalem was made for the sake of assuring Paul that there had been no "backing out" of the agreement; but that it still held. Implicit in James' proposal, however, was the proposition of TWO DIFFERENT BODIES of Christians being... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 21:26

Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them went into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.So far, so good. It might have seemed that all was well, that everything would be all right, that all the Jewish Christians would behold what a noble Jew Paul really was; but Jesus had spoken of that temple, calling it a "den of thieves and robbers," and accusing its masters of committing murder in... read more
