Context of Acts 15:19
17so that the residue of men may seek out the Lord, and all the nations on whom my name is invoked, saith [the] Lord, who does these things 18known from eternity. Wherefore I judge, not to trouble those who from the nations turn to God; 20but to write to them to abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood. 21For Moses, from generations of old, has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.
