Acts 15:13-21

13After they had stopped speaking, 12James answered, saying, “Brethren, listen to me. 143Simeon has related how God first concerned Himself about taking from among the Gentiles a people for His name. 15With this the words of 4the Prophets agree, just as it is written,16‘5After these things 6I will return, And I will rebuild the 7tabernacle of David which has fallen, And I will rebuild its ruins, And I will restore it,178So that the rest of 9mankind may seek the Lord, And all the Gentiles 1011who are called by My name,’1812Says the Lord, who 1314makes these things known from long ago. 19Therefore it is 15my judgment that we do not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles, 20but that we write to them that they abstain from 1617things contaminated by idols and from 18fornication and from 19what is strangled and from blood. 21For 20Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since 21he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
