Context of Acts 15:30

28For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to place on you any greater burden than these essentials: 29that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from [consuming] blood, and from [eating the meat of] things that have been strangled, and from sexual impurity. If you keep yourselves from these things, you will do well. Farewell.” So when they were sent off, they went down to Antioch; and after assembling the congregation, they delivered the letter. 31And when they had read it, the people rejoiced greatly at the encouragement and comfort [it brought them]. 32Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets (divinely inspired spokesmen), encouraged and strengthened the believers with many words.
