15And some men came down from Judea and [began] teaching the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."G2532G5100G2718G575G2449G1321G80G3754G3362G4059G1485G3475G3756G1410G4982 2And when Paul and Barnabas had great dissension and debate with them, [the brethren] determined that Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders concerning this issue.G3767G3972G2532G921G1096G3756G3641G4714G2532G4803G4314G846G5021G3972G2532G921G2532G5100G243G1537G846G305G1519G2419G4314G652G2532G4245G4012G5127G2213 3Therefore, being sent on their way by the church, they were passing through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and were bringing great joy to all the brethren.G3303G3767G4311G5259G1577G1330G5403G2532G4540G1555G1995G1484G2532G4160G3173G5479G3956G80 4And when they arrived at Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they reported all that God had done with them.G1161G3854G1519G2419G588G5259G1577G2532G652G2532G4245G5037G312G3745G2316G4160G3326G846 5But certain ones of the sect of the Pharisees who had believed, stood up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to direct them to observe the Law of Moses."G1161G1817G5100G575G139G5330G4100G3004G3754G1163G4059G846G5037G3853G5083G3551G3475 6And the apostles and the elders came together to look into this matter.G1161G652G2532G4245G4863G1492G4012G5127G3056 7And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.G1161G1096G4183G4803G4074G450G2036G4314G846G435G80G5210G1987G3754G744G2250G575G2316G1586G1722G2254G1484G1223G3450G4750G191G3056G2098G2532G4100 8"And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us;G2532G2316G2589G846G3140G1325G846G40G4151G2532G2531G2254 9and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.G2532G1252G3762G1252G3342G5037G2257G2532G846G2511G846G2588G4102 10"Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?G3568G3767G5101G3985G2316G2007G2218G1909G5137G3101G3739G3777G2257G3962G3777G2249G2480G941 11"But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are."G235G4100G1223G5485G2962G2424G5547G4982G2596G3739G5158G2548 12And all the multitude kept silent, and they were listening to Barnabas and Paul as they were relating what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.G1161G3956G4128G4601G2532G191G921G2532G3972G1834G3745G4592G2532G5059G2316G4160G1722G1484G1223G846 13And after they had stopped speaking, James answered, saying, "Brethren, listen to me.G1161G3326G4601G846G4601G2385G611G3004G435G80G191G3450 14"Simeon has related how God first concerned Himself about taking from among the Gentiles a people for His name.G4826G1834G2531G2316G4412G1980G1484G2983G1537G2992G1909G846G3686 15"And with this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written,G2532G5129G4856G3056G4396G2531G1125 16'AFTER THESE THINGS I will return, AND I WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID WHICH HAS FALLEN, AND I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS, AND I WILL RESTORE IT,G3326G5023G390G2532G456G4633G1138G3588G4098G2532G456G2679G846G2532G461G846G461 17IN ORDER THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD, AND ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, 'G3704G302G2645G444G1567G2962G2532G3956G1484G1909G3739G3450G3686G1941G1909G846G3004G2962G3588G4160G3956G5023 18SAYS THE LORD, WHO MAKES THESE THINGS KNOWN FROM OF OLD.G1110G2316G2076G3956G846G2041G575G165 19"Therefore it is my judgment that we do not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles,G1352G1473G2919G3926G3361G3588G575G1484G1994G1909G2316 20but that we write to them that they abstain from things contaminated by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood.G235G1989G846G567G575G234G1497G2532G4202G2532G4156G2532G129 21"For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath."G1063G3475G1537G744G1074G2192G2596G4172G2784G846G314G1722G4864G2596G3956G4521 22Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas— Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren,G5119G1380G652G2532G4245G4862G3650G1577G3992G1586G435G1537G846G1519G490G4862G3972G2532G921G2455G1941G923G2532G4609G2233G435G1722G80 23and they sent this letter by them, "The apostles and the brethren who are elders, to the brethren in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia who are from the Gentiles, greetings.G1125G1223G5495G846G3592G652G2532G4245G2532G80G5463G80G3588G1537G1484G2596G490G2532G4947G2532G2791 24"Since we have heard that some of our number to whom we gave no instruction have disturbed you with [their] words, unsettling your souls,G1894G191G3754G5100G1831G1537G2257G5015G5209G3056G384G5216G5590G3004G4059G2532G5083G3551G3739G1291G3756G1291 25it seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to select men to send to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,G1380G2254G1096G3661G3992G1586G435G4314G5209G4862G2257G27G921G2532G3972 26men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.G444G3860G846G5590G5228G3686G2257G2962G2424G5547 27"Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will also report the same things by word [of mouth].G649G3767G2455G2532G4609G846G518G2532G518G846G1223G3056 28"For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials:G1063G1380G40G4151G2532G2254G2007G5213G3367G4119G922G4133G5130G1876 29that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well. Farewell. "G567G1494G2532G129G2532G4156G2532G4202G1537G3739G1301G1438G4238G2095G4517 30So, when they were sent away, they went down to Antioch; and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter.G3303G3767G630G2064G1519G490G2532G4863G4128G4863G1929G1992 31And when they had read it, they rejoiced because of its encouragement.G1161G314G5463G1909G3874 32And Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brethren with a lengthy message.G2455G2532G4609G5607G4396G2532G846G3870G80G1223G4183G3056G2532G1991 33And after they had spent time [there], they were sent away from the brethren in peace to those who had sent them out.G1161G4160G5550G630G3326G1515G575G80G4314G652 34{But it seemed good to Silas to remain there.}G1161G1380G4609G1961G847G1961 35But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others also, the word of the Lord.G3972G1161G2532G921G1304G1722G490G1321G2532G2097G3056G2962G3326G4183G2087G2532 36And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us return and visit the brethren in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, [and see] how they are."G1161G5100G2250G3326G3972G2036G4314G921G1211G1994G1980G2257G80G2596G3956G4172G1722G3739G2605G3056G2962G4459G2192 37And Barnabas was desirous of taking John, called Mark, along with them also.G1161G921G1011G4838G2491G2564G3138 38But Paul kept insisting that they should not take him along who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work.G1161G3972G515G3361G515G4838G5126G4838G3588G868G575G846G575G3828G2532G4905G3361G846G1519G2041 39And there arose such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.G3767G3948G1096G3948G846G5620G673G575G240G5037G921G3880G3138G1602G1519G2954 40But Paul chose Silas and departed, being committed by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.G1161G3972G1951G4609G1831G3860G5259G80G5485G2316 41And he was traveling through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.G1161G1330G4947G2532G2791G1991G1577
