We know Paul's main reason for making his final trip to Jerusalem in Acts 21 was to bring the money he has collected from the various Gentile churches and present it to Jerusalem HQ. (1 Cor 16:1–4; 2 Cor 8:1–9:15; Gal 2:10; Rom 15:25–31).

Anyone know of any study on whether James and the elders accepted the money in the end? Or did Paul had to divert the money to pay for the shaving head ceremony of the zealous Jews?
