The Council at Jerusalem

1 aSome° men° came° down° from Judea° and [began] teaching° bthe brethren°, “Unless°° you are ccircumcised° according to dthe custom° of Moses°, you cannot°° be saved°.” 2 And when Paul° and Barnabas° had° Igreat°° dissension° and adebate° with them, b[the brethren] determined° that Paul° and Barnabas° and some° others° of them should go° up to Jerusalem° to the capostles° and elders° concerning° this° issue°. 3 Therefore°, being asent° on their way° by the church°, they were passing° through° both° bPhoenicia° and Samaria°, cdescribing° in detail° the conversion° of the Gentiles°, and were bringing° great° joy° to all° dthe brethren°. 4 When they arrived° at Jerusalem°, they were received° by the church° and athe apostles° and the elders°, and they breported° all° that God° had done° with them. 5 But some° of athe sect° of the bPharisees° who had believed° stood° up, saying°, “It is necessary° to ccircumcise° them and to direct° them to observe° the Law° of Moses°.”

James’s Judgment

13 After° they had stopped° speaking°, IaJames° answered°, saying°, “Brethren°°, listen° to me. 14 aSimeon° has related° how° God° first° concerned° Himself about° taking° from among° the Gentiles° a people° for His name°. 15 With this° the words° of athe Prophets° agree°, just° as it is written°,
  16aAFTER° THESE° THINGS° bI will return°,
  AND I WILL REBUILD° THE ITABERNACLE° OF DAVID° WHICH HAS FALLEN°,
  AND I WILL REBUILD° ITS RUINS°,
  AND I WILL RESTORE° IT,
  17 aSO° THAT THE REST° OF IMANKIND° MAY SEEK° THE LORD°,
  AND ALL° THE GENTILES° IIbWHO° ARE CALLED° BY MY NAME°,’
  18 aSAYS° THE LORD°, WHO IbMAKES° THESE° THINGS° KNOWN° FROM LONG° AGO°.
19 Therefore° it is amy judgment° that we do not trouble° those° who are turning° to God° from among° the Gentiles°, 20 but that we write° to them that they abstain° from Iathings° contaminated° by idols° and from bfornication° and from cwhat is strangled° and from blood°. 21 For aMoses° from ancient° generations° has° in every° city° those° who preach° him, since Ihe is read° in the synagogues° every° Sabbath°.”

Paul and Barnabas, thinking to visit the brethren together, fall at strife, and depart asunder.

36 ¶ Andº someº daysº afterº Paul¹² saidºª untoº Barnabas,º¹ Let us go againºª² and visitºª ourº brethrenº inº everyº cityº whereºº we have preachedºª the² wordº of the² Lord,º [and see] howº they do.ºª 37 Andº Barnabasº determinedºª to take with² them¹ª John,º whose surname wasºª Mark.º 38 Butº Paulº thought¹ª not¹ goodºª² to take¹ª him¹ with²² them,¹ª who¹ departedºª fromº themº fromº Pamphylia,º andº went¹ª not¹ with²² themº toº the² work.º 39 Andº the contention¹ª was¹ª so sharp¹ between²² them,¹ thatº they² departed asunderºª one from the other:ºº and² so¹ Barnabasº tookºª Mark,º and sailedºª untoº Cyprus;º 40 Andº Paulº choseºª Silas,º and departed,ºª being recommendedºª byº the² brethrenº unto the² graceº of God.º 41 Andº he went throughºª Syriaº andº Cilicia,º confirmingºª the² churches.º
