Acts 15:12-18

12All the people kept silent, and they were listening to Barnabas and Paul as they were 1relating all the 2signs and wonders that God had done through them among the Gentiles. 13After they stopped speaking, 3 4James responded, saying, “5Brothers, listen to me. 14 6Simeon has described how God first concerned Himself about taking a people for His name from among the Gentiles. 15The words of 7the Prophets agree with this, just as it is written:16‘8After these things 9I will return, And I will rebuild the fallen 10tabernacle of David, And I will rebuild its ruins, And I will restore it,17 11So that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, And all the Gentiles 12 13who are called by My name,’18 14Says the Lord, who 15 16makes these things known from long ago.
