Acts 15:22-33

22Then it seemedG1380 goodG1380 to the apostlesG652 and to the eldersG4245, with the wholeG3650 assemblyG1577, to sendG3992 chosen menG435 from among them with PaulG3972 and BarnabasG921 to AntiochG490, JudasG2455 calledG2564 Barsabas and SilasG4609, leading menG435 among the brethren,

23having by their handG5495 writtenG1125 [thus]: The apostlesG652, and the eldersG4245, and the brethren, to the brethren who are from among [the] nationsG1484 at AntiochG490, and [in] SyriaG4947 and CiliciaG2791, greetingG5463:

24Inasmuch as we have heardG191 that some who wentG1831 out from amongst us have troubledG5015 you by wordsG3056, upsetting your soulsG5590, [sayingG3056 that ye must be circumcised and keep the law]; to whom we gave no commandment;

25it seemedG1380 goodG1380 to us, having arrived at a common judgment, to sendG3992 chosen menG435 to you with our belovedG27 BarnabasG921 and PaulG3972,

26menG444 who have given up their livesG5590 for the nameG3686 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

27We have thereforeG3767 sentG649 JudasG2455 and SilasG4609, who themselves alsoG2532 will tellG518 you by wordG3056 [of mouth] the sameG846 things.

28For it has seemedG1380 goodG1380 to the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and to us to lay upon you no greaterG4183 burdenG922 than these necessary thingsG3778:

29to abstainG568 from thingsG3739 sacrificed to idols, and from bloodG129, and from what is strangled, and from fornication; keeping yourselves from which ye will do well. Farewell.

30They thereforeG3767, being let goG630, cameG2718 to AntiochG490, and having gatheredG4863 the multitudeG4128 delivered to [them] the epistle.

31And having readG314 it, they rejoicedG5463 at the consolation.

32And JudasG2455 and SilasG4609, beingG1510 themselves alsoG2532 prophetsG4396, exhortedG3870 the brethren with muchG4183 discourse, and strengthenedG1991 them.

33And having passed some timeG5550 [there], they were let goG630 in peaceG1515 from the brethren to those who sentG649 them.
