Acts 15:12-22

12AllG3956 the peopleG4128 keptG4601 silentG4601, and they were listeningG191 to BarnabasG921 and PaulG3972 as they were 1relatingG1834 allG3745 the 2signsG4592 and wondersG5059 thatG3745 GodG2316 had doneG4160 throughG1223 them amongG1722 the GentilesG1484. 13AfterG3326 they stoppedG4601 speakingG4601, 34JamesG2385 respondedG611, sayingG3004, “5BrothersG435G80, listenG191 to me. 146SimeonG4826 has describedG1834 howG2531 GodG2316 firstG4413 concernedG1980 Himself aboutG1980 takingG2983 a peopleG2992 for His nameG3686 from amongG1537 the GentilesG1484. 15The wordsG3056 of 7the ProphetsG4396 agreeG4856 with thisG3778, justG2531 asG2531 it is writtenG1125:16‘8AfterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778 9I will returnG390, And I will rebuildG456 the fallenG4098 10tabernacleG4633 of DavidG1160, And I will rebuildG456 its ruinsG2690, And I will restoreG461 it,1711SoG3704 thatG3704 the restG2645 of mankindG444 may seekG1567 the LordG2962, And allG3956 the GentilesG1484 1213whoG3739 are calledG1941 by My nameG3686,’1814SaysG3004 the LordG2962, who 1516makesG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778 knownG1110 from longG165 agoG165. 19ThereforeG1352, it is 17my judgmentG2919 that we do not causeG3926 troubleG3926 for thoseG3588 from the GentilesG1484 who are turningG1994 to GodG2316, 20but that we writeG1989 to them that they abstainG568 from 1819thingsG234 contaminatedG234 by idolsG1497, from 20acts of sexualG4202 immoralityG4202, from 21what has been 22strangledG4156, and from bloodG129. 21For 23from ancientG744 generationsG1074 MosesG3475 hasG2192 thoseG3588 who preachG2784 him in everyG2596 cityG4172, since 24he is readG314 in the synagoguesG4864 everyG3956 SabbathG4521.”

22ThenG5119 it seemedG1380 goodG1380 to 25the apostlesG652 and the eldersG4245, with the wholeG3650 churchG1577, to chooseG1586 menG435 from amongG1537 them to sendG3992 to 26AntiochG490 with PaulG3972 and BarnabasG921: JudasG2455 who was calledG2564 BarsabbasG923, and 27SilasG4609, leadingG2233 menG435 amongG1722 28the brothersG80,
