-	* 1 Now it happened in Iconium that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a large crowd both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed.
-	* 2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brethren.	+	1 And certain men who came down from Judea taught the brethren, and said “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”
-	* 3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.	+	2 Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and dispute with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them should go up to Jerusalem, to the apostles and elders, about this question.
-	* 4 But the population of the city was divided: part sided with the Jews, and part with the apostles.	+	3 So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.
-	* 5 And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to abuse and stone them,	+	4 And when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church and by the apostles and the elders; and they declared all things that God had done with them.
-	* 6 they became aware of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region.	+	5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
-	* 7 And they preached the gospel there.	+	6 Now the apostles and elders came together to consider this matter.
-	* 8 And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked.	+	7 And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: “Men and brethren, you know that a good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.
-	* 9 This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed,	+	8 So God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us,
-	* 10 said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And he leaped and walked.	+	9 and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
-	* 11 Now when the people saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”	+	10 Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
-	* 12 And Barnabas they called Jupiter, and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.	+	11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved in the same manner as they.”
-	* 13 Then the priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, intending to do sacrifice with the people.	+	12 Then all the multitude kept silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul declaring what miracles and wonders God had worked through them among the Gentiles.
-	* 14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their clothes and ran in among the people, shouting out	+	13 And after they had become silent, James replied, saying, “Men and brethren, listen to me:
-	* 15 and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with a similar nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them,	+	14 Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name.
-	* 16 who in previous generations allowed all nations to walk in their own ways.	+	15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, as it is written:
-	* 17 Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”	+	16 ‘After this I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up;
-	* 18 And with these sayings they could hardly restrain the people from sacrificing to them.	+	17 So that the remainder of the people may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name, says the Lord who does all these things.’
-	* 19 Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the people, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.	+	18 “Known to God are all His works from the beginning of the world.
-	* 20 However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.	+	19 Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles have turned to God,
-	* 21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,	+	20 but that we write to them that they abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood.
-	* 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.	+	21 Because, Moses has those who preach him in every city from old times, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day.”
-	* 23 So when they had appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.	+	22 Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the entire church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.
-	* 24 And after they had passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.	+	23 They wrote letters by them according to this manner: The apostles, the elders, and the brethren, send greetings to the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia.
-	* 25 Now when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.	+	24 Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, “You must be circumcised and keep the law,” to whom we gave no such commandment
-	* 26 From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had completed.	+	25 it seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

1 And certain men who came down from Judea taught the brethren, and said “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”

2 Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and dispute with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them should go up to Jerusalem, to the apostles and elders, about this question.

3 So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.

4 And when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church and by the apostles and the elders; and they declared all things that God had done with them.

5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”

6 Now the apostles and elders came together to consider this matter.

7 And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: “Men and brethren, you know that a good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.

8 So God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us,

9 and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

10 Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved in the same manner as they.”

12 Then all the multitude kept silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul declaring what miracles and wonders God had worked through them among the Gentiles.

13 And after they had become silent, James replied, saying, “Men and brethren, listen to me:

14 Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name.

15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, as it is written:

16 ‘After this I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up;

17 So that the remainder of the people may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name, says the Lord who does all these things.’

18 “Known to God are all His works from the beginning of the world.

19 Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles have turned to God,

20 but that we write to them that they abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood.

21 Because, Moses has those who preach him in every city from old times, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day.”

22 Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the entire church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.

23 They wrote letters by them according to this manner: The apostles, the elders, and the brethren, send greetings to the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia.

24 Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, “You must be circumcised and keep the law,” to whom we gave no such commandment

25 it seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

26 men who have endangered their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

27 We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who will also tell you the same things by mouth.

28 Because, it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:

29 that you abstain from food offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.

30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch; and when they had gathered the people together, they delivered the letter.

31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced over its encouragement.

32 Now Judas and Silas, themselves being prophets also, exhorted the brethren with many words and confirmed them.

33 And after they had stayed there for a time, they were let go in peace from the brethren to the apostles.

34 However, it seemed good to Silas to remain there.

35 Paul and Barnabas also remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

36 Then after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us now go back and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing.”

37 Now Barnabas was determined to take with them John whose surname was Mark.

38 But Paul did not think it good to take him with them, who had departed from them in Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work.

39 Then the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another. And so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus;

40 but Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of God.

41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
