15:1 And
certaine
men
which
came
downe
from
Iudea,
taught
the
brethren,
and
said,
Except
ye
be
circumcised
after
the
manner
of
Moses,
ye
cannot
be
saued.
15:2 When
therefore
Paul
and
Barnabas
had
no
small
dissention
and
disputation
with
them,
they
determined
that
Paul
and
Barnabas,
and
certeine
other
of
them,
should
goe
vp
to
Hierusalem
vnto
the
Apostles
and
Elders
about
this
question.
15:3 And
being
brought
on
their
way
by
the
Church,
they
passed
thorow
Phenice
and
Samaria,
declaring
the
conuersion
of
the
Gentiles:
and
they
caused
great
ioy
vnto
all
the
brethren.
15:4 And
when
they
were
come
to
Hierusalem,
they
were
receiued
of
the
Church,
and
of
the
Apostles,
and
Elders,
and
they
declared
all
things
that
God
had
done
with
them.
15:5 But
there
rose
vp
certaine
of
the
sect
of
the
Pharisees
which
beleeued,
saying,
that
it
was
needfull
to
circumcise
them,
and
to
comand
them
to
keepe
the
Law
of
Moses.
15:6 And
the
Apostles
&
Elders
came
together
for
to
consider
of
this
matter.
15:7 And
when
there
had
bene
much
disputing,
Peter
rose
vp,
and
said
vnto
them,
Men
and
brethren,
ye
know
how
that
a
good
while
agoe,
God
made
choise
among
vs,
that
the
Gentiles
by
my
mouth
should
heare
the
worde
of
the
Gospel,
and
beleeue.
15:8 And
God
which
knoweth
the
hearts,
bare
them
witnes,
giuing
them
the
holy
Ghost,
euen
as
he
did
vnto
vs,
15:9 And
put
no
difference
between
vs
&
them,
purifying
their
hearts
by
faith.
15:10 Now
therfore
why
tempt
ye
God,
to
put
a
yoke
vpon
the
necke
of
the
disciples,
which
neither
our
fathers
nor
we
were
able
to
beare
15:11 But
we
beleeue
that
through
the
grace
of
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ,
we
shal
be
saued
euen
as
they.
15:12 Then
all
the
multitude
kept
silence,
and
gaue
audience
to
Barnabas
and
Paul,
declaring
what
miracles
and
wonders
God
had
wrought
among
the
Gentiles
by
them.
15:13 And
after
they
had
helde
their
peace,
Iames
answered,
saying,
Men
and
brethren,
hearken
vnto
me.
15:14 Simeon
hath
declared
how
God
at
the
first
did
visite
the
Gentiles
to
take
out
of
them
a
people
for
his
Name.
15:15 And
to
this
agree
the
words
of
the
Prophets,
as
it
is
written,
15:16 After
this
I
will
returne,
and
wil
build
againe
the
Tabernacle
of
Dauid,
which
is
fallen
downe:
and
I
will
build
againe
the
ruines
thereof,
and
I
will
set
it
vp:
15:17 That
the
residue
of
men
might
seeke
after
the
Lord,
and
all
the
Gentiles,
vpon
whom
my
Name
is
called,
sayth
the
Lord,
who
doeth
all
these
things.
15:18 Knowen
vnto
God
are
all
his
workes
fro
the
beginning
of
the
world.
15:19 Wherefore
my
sentence
is,
that
we
trouble
not
them,
which
from
among
the
Gentiles
are
turned
to
God:
15:20 But
that
wee
write
vnto
them,
that
they
abstaine
from
pollutions
of
Idoles,
and
from
fornication,
and
from
things
strangled,
and
from
blood.
15:21 For
Moses
of
olde
time
hath
in
euery
citie
them
that
preach
him,
being
read
in
the
Synagogues
euery
Sabbath
day.
15:22 Then
pleased
it
the
Apostles
and
Elders
with
the
whole
Church,
to
send
chosen
men
of
their
owne
company
to
Antioch,
with
Paul
and
Barnabas:
namely,
Iudas
surnamed
Barsabas,
&
Silas,
chiefe
men
among
the
brethren,
15:23 And
wrote
letters
by
them
after
this
maner,
The
Apostles
and
Elders,
and
brethren,
send
greeting
vnto
the
brethren,
which
are
of
the
Gentiles
in
Antioch,
and
Syria,
and
Cilicia.
15:24 Forasmuch
as
we
haue
heard,
that
certaine
which
went
out
from
vs,
haue
troubled
you
with
words,
subuerting
your
soules,
saying,
Ye
must
be
circumcised,
and
keepe
the
Law,
to
whom
we
gaue
no
such
commandement:
15:25 It
seemed
good
vnto
vs,
being
assembled
with
one
accord,
to
send
chosen
men
vnto
you,
with
our
beloued
Barnabas
and
Paul,
15:26 Men
that
haue
hazarded
their
liues
for
the
Name
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ.
15:27 Wee
haue
sent
therefore
Iudas
and
Silas,
who
shall
also
tell
you
the
same
things
by
mouth.
15:28 For
it
seemed
good
to
the
holy
Ghost,
and
to
vs,
to
lay
vpon
you
no
greater
burden
then
these
necessarie
things;
15:29 That
ye
abstaine
from
meates
offered
to
idoles,
and
from
blood,
&
from
things
strangled,
and
from
fornication:
from
which
if
ye
keepe
your
selues,
yee
shall
doe
well.
Fare
ye
well.
15:30 So
when
they
were
dismissed,
they
came
to
Antioch:
and
when
they
had
gathered
the
multitude
together,
they
deliuered
the
Epistle.
15:31 Which
when
they
had
read,
they
reioyced
for
the
consolation.
15:32 And
Iudas
and
Silas,
being
Prophets
also
themselues,
exhorted
the
brethren
with
many
words,
and
confirmed
them:
15:33 And
after
they
had
taried
there
a
space,
they
were
let
goe
in
peace
from
the
breehren
vnto
the
Apostles.
15:34 Notwithstanding
it
pleased
Silas
to
abide
there
still.
15:35 Paul
also
and
Barnabas
continued
in
Antioch,
teaching
and
preaching
the
word
of
the
Lord,
with
many
others
also.
15:36 And
some
dayes
after,
Paul
said
vnto
Barnabas,
Let
vs
go
againe
and
visit
our
brethren,
in
euery
city
where
we
haue
preached
the
word
of
the
Lord,
and
see
how
they
doe.
15:37 And
Barnabas
determined
to
take
with
them
Iohn,
whose
surname
was
Marke.
15:38 But
Paul
thought
not
good
to
take
him
with
them;
who
departed
from
them
from
Pamphylia,
and
went
not
with
them
to
the
worke.
15:39 And
the
contention
was
so
sharpe
betweene
them,
that
they
departed
asunder
one
from
the
other:
&
so
Barnabas
tooke
Marke,
&
sailed
vnto
Cyprus.
15:40 And
Paul
chose
Silas,
and
departed,
being
recommended
by
the
brethren
vnto
the
grace
of
God.
15:41 And
he
went
thorow
Syria
and
Cilicia,
confirming
the
Churches.
