Acts 21:26-39 emphasizes the importance of trusting and obeying Christ and His Kingdom, even if it doesn't bring immediate fruit. Paul, who had been trying to reach Jerusalem by Pentecost, was compelled to go by the Lord. He was greeted warmly by the Christians and reported on God's work among the Gentiles. The church in Jerusalem revealed that Judaizers were spreading lies about Paul, and they proposed that Paul go to the temple with them, purify himself, and pay for the vows to prove the falsehood.
