Ezra 1:1–2:70
1Now in the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians, and he issued a proclamation through all his kingdom, and that in writing, saying, 2Thus said Cyrus king of the Persians, The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has given me a charge to build him a house in Jerusalem that is in Judea. 3Who [is] there among you of all his people? for his God shall be with him, and he shall go up to Jerusalem that is in Judea, and let him build the house of the God of Israel: he [is] the God that is in Jerusalem. 4And [let] every [Jew] that is left [go] from every place where he sojourns, and the men of his place shall help him with silver, and gold, and goods, and cattle, together with the voluntary offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem. 5Then the chiefs of the families of Juda and Benjamin arose, and the priests, and the Levites, all whose spirit the Lord stirred up to go up to build the house of the Lord that [is] in Jerusalem. 6And all that were round about strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with cattle, and with presents, besides the voluntary offerings. 7And king Cyrus brought out the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nabuchodonosor had brought from Jerusalem, and put in the house of his god. 8And Cyrus king of the Persians brought them out by the hand of Mithradates the treasurer, and he numbered them to Sasabasar, the chief man of Juda. 9And this [is] their number: thirty gold basons, and a thousand silver basons, nine and twenty changes, thirty golden goblets, 10and four hundred [and] ten double silver [vessels], and a thousand other vessels. 11All the gold and silver vessels were five thousand four hundred, [even] all that went up with Sasabasar from the [place of] transportation, from Babylon to Jerusalem. Chapter 21And these [are] the people of the land that went up, of the number of prisoners who were removed, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon carried away to Babylon, and they returned to Juda and Jerusalem, every man to his city; 2who came with Zorobabel: Jesus, Neemias, Saraias, Reelias, Mardochæus, Balasan, Masphar, Baguai, Reum, Baana. The number of the people of Israel: 3The children of Phares, two thousand one hundred and seventy-two. 4The children of Saphatia, three hundred and seventy-two. 5The children of Ares, seven hundred and seventy-five. 6The children of Phaath Moab, belonging to the sons of Jesue [and] Joab, two thousand eight hundred and twelve. 7The children of Ælam, a thousand two hundred and fifty-four. 8The children of Zatthua, nine hundred and forty-five. 9The children of Zacchu, seven hundred and sixty. 10The children of Banui, six hundred and forty-two. 11The children of Babai, six hundred and twenty-three. 12The children of Asgad, a thousand two hundred and twenty-two. 13The children of Adonicam, six hundred and sixty-six. 14The children of Bague, two thousand and fifty-six. 15The children of Addin, four hundred and fifty-four. 16The children of Ater [the son] of Ezekias, ninety-eight. 17The children of Bassu, three hundred and twenty-three. 18The children of Jora, a hundred and twelve. 19The children of Asum, two hundred and twenty-three. 20The children of Gaber, ninety-five. 21The children of Bethlaem, a hundred and twenty-three. 22The children of Netopha, fifty-six. 23The children of Anathoth, a hundred and twenty-eight. 24The children of Azmoth, forty-three. 25The children of Cariathiarim, Chaphira, and Beroth, seven hundred and forty-three. 26The children of Rama and Gabaa, six hundred and twenty-one. 27The men of Machmas, a hundred and twenty-two. 28The men of Bæthel and Aia, four hundred and twenty-three. 29The children of Nabu, fifty-two. 30The children of Magebis, a hundred and fifty-six. 31The children of Elamar, a thousand two hundred and fifty-four. 32The children of Elam, three hundred and twenty. 33The children of Lodadi and Ono, seven hundred and twenty-five. 34The children of Jericho, three hundred and forty-five. 35The children of Senaa, three thousand six hundred and thirty. 36And the priests, the sons of Jedua, [belonging to] the house of Jesus, [were] nine hundred and seventy-three. 37The children of Emmer, a thousand [and] fifty-two. 38The children of Phassur, a thousand two hundred [and] forty-seven. 39The children of Erem, a thousand [and] seven. 40And the Levites, the sons of Jesus and Cadmiel, belonging to the sons of Oduia, seventy-four. 41The sons of Asaph, singers, a hundred [and] twenty-eight. 42The children of the porters, the children of Sellum, the children of Ater, the children of Telmon, the children of Acub, the children of Atita, the children of Sobai, [in] all a hundred [and] thirty-nine. 43The Nathinim: the children of Suthia, the children of Asupha, the children of Tabaoth, 44the sons of Cades, the children of Siaa, the children of Phadon, 45the children of Labano, the children of Agaba, the sons of Acub, 46the children of Agab, the children of Selami, the children of Anan, 47the children of Geddel, the children of Gaar, the children of Raia, 48the children of Rason, the children of Necoda, the children of Gazem, 49the children of Azo, the children of Phase, the children of Basi, 50the children of Asena, the children of Moünim, the children of Nephusim, 51the children of Bacbuc, the children of Acupha, the children of Arur, 52the children of Basaloth, the children of Mauda, the children of Arsa, 53the children of Barcos, the children of Sisara, the children of Thema, 54the children of Nasthie, the children of Atupha. 55The children of the servants of Solomon: the children of Sotai, the children of Sephera, the children of Phadura, 56the children of Jeela, the children of Darcon, the children of Gedel, 57the children of Saphatia, the children of Atil, the children of Phacherath, the children of Aseboim, the children of Emei. 58All the Nathanim, and the sons of Abdeselma [were] three hundred and ninety-two. 59And these [are] they that went up from Thelmelech, Thelaresa, Cherub, Hedan, Emmer: and they were not able to tell the house of their fathers, and their seed, whether they were of Israel: 60the children of Dalæa, the children of Bua, the children of Tobias, the children of Necoda, six hundred [and] fifty-two. 61And of the children of the priests, the children of Labeia, the children of Akkus, the children of Berzellai, who took a wife of the daughter of Berzellai the Galaadite, and was called by their name. 62These sought their genealogy [as though] they had been reckoned, but they were not found; and they were removed, [as polluted], from the priesthood. 63And the Athersastha told them that they should not eat of the most holy things, until a priest should arise with Lights and Perfections. 64And all the congregation together [were] about forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty; 65besides their men-servants and maid-servants, [and] these were seven thousand three hundred [and] thirty-seven: and [among] these were two hundred singing men and singing women. 66Their horses [were] seven hundred [and] thirty-six, their mules, two hundred [and] forty-five. 67Their camels, four hundred [and] thirty-five; their asses, six thousand seven hundred [and] twenty. 68And [some] of the chiefs of families, when they went into the house of the Lord that was in Jerusalem, offered willingly for the house of God, to establish it on its prepared place. 69According to their power they gave into the treasury of the work pure gold sixty-one thousand pieces, and five thousand pounds of silver, and one hundred priests' garments. 70So the priests, and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nathinim, dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.

New TestamentKing James Version
Acts 21:18–40
18And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. 19And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry. 20And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law: 21And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs. 22What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. 23Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them; 24Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law. 25As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication. 26Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them. 27And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him, 28Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place. 29(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.) 30And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut. 31And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar. 32Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul. 33Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done. 34And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle. 35And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people. 36For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him. 37And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek? 38Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers? 39But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people. 40And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
