Acts 18:18

Paul stayed many days after this. Then he said goodbye to the brothers and sisters in the faith and sailed for Syria with Priscilla and Aquila. In Cenchreae [the southern port city of Corinth], Paul shaved his head, for he had made a vow.
[Perhaps Paul had made a Nazirite vow, see Num. 6:1–21. Normally, he would have shaved his head in Jerusalem, but he could do it earlier and take the hair with him to perform the Jewish ritual in Jerusalem. Nazirite vows are made when someone wants to serve the Lord in a special way. The Hebrew word nazir means "devoted" and "consecrated." The vow was time-limited, see Num. 6:4. In the case of Samuel (1 Sam. 1:11) and Samson (Judg 13:2–7), their mothers gave them a lifelong Nazirite vow. John the Baptist is mentioned in similar terms, see Luke 1:13–17. Extra-biblical sources show that Nazirite vows were common and served as offerings of gratitude. The vow period for these was usually 30 days. See also Acts 21:23–26.]
