Acts Chapter 15 - King James Strong Number Version
- 1
- And <G2532> certain men <G5100> which came down <G2718> <G5631> from <G0575> Judaea <G2449> taught <G1321> <G5707> the brethren <G0080>, [and said], <G3754> Except <G3362> ye be circumcised <G4059> <G5747> after the manner <G1485> of Moses <G3475>, ye cannot <G3756> <G1410> <G5736> be saved <G4982> <G5683>.
- 2
- When therefore <G3767> Paul <G3972> and <G2532> Barnabas <G0921> had <G1096> <G5637> no <G3756> small <G3641> dissension <G4714> and <G2532> disputation <G4803> with <G4314> them <G0846>, they determined <G5021> <G5656> that Paul <G3972> and <G2532> Barnabas <G0921>, and <G2532> certain <G5100> other <G0243> of <G1537> them <G0846>, should go up <G0305> <G5721> to <G1519> Jerusalem <G2419> unto <G4314> the apostles <G0652> and <G2532> elders <G4245> about <G4012> this <G5127> question <G2213>.
- 3
- And <G3303> <G3767> being brought on their way <G4311> <G5685> by <G5259> the church <G1577>, they passed through <G1330> <G5711> Phenice <G5403> and <G2532> Samaria <G4540>, declaring <G1555> <G5740> the conversion <G1995> of the Gentiles <G1484>: and <G2532> they caused <G4160> <G5707> great <G3173> joy <G5479> unto all <G3956> the brethren <G0080>.
- 4
- And <G1161> when they were come <G3854> <G5637> to <G1519> Jerusalem <G2419>, they were received <G0588> <G5681> of <G5259> the church <G1577>, and <G2532> [of] the apostles <G0652> and <G2532> elders <G4245>, and <G5037> they declared <G0312> <G5656> all things <G3745> that God <G2316> had done <G4160> <G5656> with <G3326> them <G0846>.
- 5
- But <G1161> there rose up <G1817> <G5627> certain <G5100> of <G0575> the sect <G0139> of the Pharisees <G5330> which believed <G4100> <G5761>, saying <G3004> <G5723>, That <G3754> it was needful <G1163> <G5748> to circumcise <G4059> <G5721> them <G0846>, and <G5037> to command <G3853> <G5721> [them] to keep <G5083> <G5721> the law <G3551> of Moses <G3475>.
- 6
- And <G1161> the apostles <G0652> and <G2532> elders <G4245> came together <G4863> <G5681> for to consider <G1492> <G5629> of <G4012> this <G5127> matter <G3056>.
- 7
- And <G1161> when there had been <G1096> <G5637> much <G4183> disputing <G4803>, Peter <G4074> rose up <G0450> <G5631>, and said <G2036> <G5627> unto <G4314> them <G0846>, Men <G0435> [and] brethren <G0080>, ye <G5210> know <G1987> <G5736> how that <G3754> a good <G0744> while <G2250> ago <G0575> God <G2316> made choice <G1586> <G5668> among <G1722> us <G2254>, that the Gentiles <G1484> by <G1223> my <G3450> mouth <G4750> should hear <G0191> <G5658> the word <G3056> of the gospel <G2098>, and <G2532> believe <G4100> <G5658>.
- 8
- And <G2532> God <G2316>, which knoweth the hearts <G2589>, bare them witness <G3140> <G5656>, giving <G1325> <G5631> them <G0846> the Holy <G0040> Ghost <G4151>, even <G2532> as <G2531> [he did] unto us <G2254>;
- 9
- And <G2532> put <G1252> <G0000> no <G3762> difference <G1252> <G5656> between <G3342> <G5037> us <G2257> and <G2532> them <G0846>, purifying <G2511> <G5660> their <G0846> hearts <G2588> by faith <G4102>.
- 10
- Now <G3568> therefore <G3767> why <G5101> tempt ye <G3985> <G5719> God <G2316>, to put <G2007> <G5629> a yoke <G2218> upon <G1909> the neck <G5137> of the disciples <G3101>, which <G3739> neither <G3777> our <G2257> fathers <G3962> nor <G3777> we <G2249> were able <G2480> <G5656> to bear <G0941> <G5658>?
- 11
- But <G0235> we believe <G4100> <G5719> that through <G1223> the grace <G5485> of the Lord <G2962> Jesus <G2424> Christ <G5547> we shall be saved <G4982> <G5683>, even <G2596> <G3739> as <G5158> they <G2548>.
- 12
- Then <G1161> all <G3956> the multitude <G4128> kept silence <G4601> <G5656>, and <G2532> gave audience <G0191> <G5707> to Barnabas <G0921> and <G2532> Paul <G3972>, declaring <G1834> <G5740> what <G3745> miracles <G4592> and <G2532> wonders <G5059> God <G2316> had wrought <G4160> <G5656> among <G1722> the Gentiles <G1484> by <G1223> them <G0846>.
- 13
- And <G1161> after <G3326> they had held <G4601> <G0000> their <G0846> peace <G4601> <G5658>, James <G2385> answered <G0611> <G5662>, saying <G3004> <G5723>, Men <G0435> [and] brethren <G0080>, hearken <G0191> <G5657> unto me <G3450>:
- 14
- Simeon <G4826> hath declared <G1834> <G5662> how <G2531> God <G2316> at the first <G4412> did visit <G1980> <G5662> the Gentiles <G1484>, to take <G2983> <G5629> out of <G1537> them a people <G2992> for <G1909> his <G0848> name <G3686>.
- 15
- And <G2532> to this <G5129> agree <G4856> <G5719> the words <G3056> of the prophets <G4396>; as <G2531> it is written <G1125> <G5769>,
- 16
- After <G3326> this <G5023> I will return <G0390> <G5692>, and <G2532> will build again <G0456> <G5692> the tabernacle <G4633> of David <G1138>, which <G3588> is fallen down <G4098> <G5761>; and <G2532> I will build again <G0456> <G5692> the ruins <G2679> <G5772> thereof <G0846>, and <G2532> I will set <G0461> <G0000> it <G0846> up <G0461> <G5692>:
- 17
- That <G3704> <G0302> the residue <G2645> of men <G0444> might seek after <G1567> <G5661> the Lord <G2962>, and <G2532> all <G3956> the Gentiles <G1484>, upon <G1909> whom <G3739> my <G3450> name <G3686> is called <G1941> <G5769>, saith <G3004> <G5719> the Lord <G2962>, who <G3588> doeth <G4160> <G5723> all <G3956> these things <G5023>.
- 18
- Known <G1110> unto God <G2316> are <G2076> <G5748> all <G3956> his <G0848> works <G2041> from <G0575> the beginning of the world <G0165>.
- 19
- Wherefore <G1352> my <G1473> sentence is <G2919> <G5719>, that we trouble <G3926> <G5721> not <G3361> them, which <G3588> from among <G0575> the Gentiles <G1484> are turned <G1994> <G5723> to <G1909> God <G2316>:
- 20
- But <G0235> that we write <G1989> <G5658> unto them <G0846>, that they abstain <G0567> <G5733> from <G0575> pollutions <G0234> of idols <G1497>, and <G2532> [from] fornication <G4202>, and <G2532> [from] things strangled <G4156>, and <G2532> [from] blood <G0129>.
- 21
- For <G1063> Moses <G3475> of <G1537> old <G0744> time <G1074> hath <G2192> <G5719> in every <G2596> city <G4172> them that preach <G2784> <G5723> him <G0846>, being read <G0314> <G5746> in <G1722> the synagogues <G4864> every <G2596> <G3956> sabbath day <G4521>.
- 22
- Then <G5119> pleased it <G1380> <G5656> the apostles <G0652> and <G2532> elders <G4245>, with <G4862> the whole <G3650> church <G1577>, to send <G3992> <G5658> chosen <G1586> <G5671> men <G0435> of <G1537> their own company <G0846> to <G1519> Antioch <G0490> with <G4862> Paul <G3972> and <G2532> Barnabas <G0921>; [namely], Judas <G2455> surnamed <G1941> <G5746> Barsabas <G0923>, and <G2532> Silas <G4609>, chief <G2233> <G5740> men <G0435> among <G1722> the brethren <G0080>:
- 23
- And they wrote <G1125> <G5660> [letters] by <G1223> them <G5495> <G0846> after this manner <G3592>; The apostles <G0652> and <G2532> elders <G4245> and <G2532> brethren <G0080> [send] greeting <G5463> <G5721> unto the brethren <G0080> which <G3588> are of <G1537> the Gentiles <G1484> in <G2596> Antioch <G0490> and <G2532> Syria <G4947> and <G2532> Cilicia <G2791>:
- 24
- Forasmuch as <G1894> we have heard <G0191> <G5656>, that <G3754> certain <G5100> which went out <G1831> <G5631> from <G1537> us <G2257> have troubled <G5015> <G5656> you <G5209> with words <G3056>, subverting <G0384> <G5723> your <G5216> souls <G5590>, saying <G3004> <G5723>, [Ye must] be circumcised <G4059> <G5745>, and <G2532> keep <G5083> <G5721> the law <G3551>: to whom <G3739> we gave <G1291> <G0000> no <G3756> [such] commandment <G1291> <G5668>:
- 25
- It seemed good <G1380> <G5656> unto us <G2254>, being assembled <G1096> <G5637> with one accord <G3661>, to send <G3992> <G5658> chosen <G1586> <G5671> men <G0435> unto <G4314> you <G5209> with <G4862> our <G2257> beloved <G0027> Barnabas <G0921> and <G2532> Paul <G3972>,
- 26
- Men <G0444> that have hazarded <G3860> <G5761> their <G0848> lives <G5590> for <G5228> the name <G3686> of our <G2257> Lord <G2962> Jesus <G2424> Christ <G5547>.
- 27
- We have sent <G0649> <G5758> therefore <G3767> Judas <G2455> and <G2532> Silas <G4609>, who <G0846> shall <G0518> <G0000> also <G2532> tell <G0518> <G5723> [you] the same things <G0846> by <G1223> mouth <G3056>.
- 28
- For <G1063> it seemed good <G1380> <G5656> to the Holy <G0040> Ghost <G4151>, and <G2532> to us <G2254>, to lay upon <G2007> <G5733> you <G5213> no <G3367> greater <G4119> burden <G0922> than <G4133> these <G5130> necessary things <G1876>;
- 29
- That ye abstain <G0567> <G5733> from meats offered to idols <G1494>, and <G2532> from blood <G0129>, and <G2532> from things strangled <G4156>, and <G2532> from fornication <G4202>: from <G1537> which <G3739> if ye keep <G1301> <G5723> yourselves <G1438>, ye shall do <G4238> <G5692> well <G2095>. Fare ye well <G4517> <G5770>.
- 30
- So <G3303> <G3767> when they were dismissed <G0630> <G5685>, they came <G2064> <G5627> to <G1519> Antioch <G0490>: and <G2532> when they had gathered <G4863> <G0000> the multitude <G4128> together <G4863> <G5631>, they delivered <G1929> <G5656> the epistle <G1992>:
- 31
- [Which] when <G1161> they had read <G0314> <G5631>, they rejoiced <G5463> <G5644> for <G1909> the consolation <G3874>.
- 32
- And Judas <G2455> and <G2532> Silas <G4609>, being <G5607> <G5752> prophets <G4396> also <G2532> themselves <G0846>, exhorted <G3870> <G5656> the brethren <G0080> with <G1223> many <G4183> words <G3056>, and <G2532> confirmed <G1991> <G5656> [them].
- 33
- And <G1161> after they had tarried <G4160> <G5660> [there] a space <G5550>, they were let go <G0630> <G5681> in <G3326> peace <G1515> from <G0575> the brethren <G0080> unto <G4314> the apostles <G0652>.
- 34
- Notwithstanding <G1161> it pleased <G1380> <G5656> Silas <G4609> to abide <G1961> <G0000> there <G0847> still <G1961> <G5658>.
- 35
- Paul <G3972> also <G1161> and <G2532> Barnabas <G0921> continued <G1304> <G5707> in <G1722> Antioch <G0490>, teaching <G1321> <G5723> and <G2532> preaching <G2097> <G5734> the word <G3056> of the Lord <G2962>, with <G3326> many <G4183> others <G2087> also <G2532>.
- 36
- And <G1161> some <G5100> days <G2250> after <G3326> Paul <G3972> said <G2036> <G5627> unto <G4314> Barnabas <G0921>, <G1211> Let us go again <G1994> <G5660> and visit <G1980> <G5667> our <G2257> brethren <G0080> in <G2596> every <G3956> city <G4172> where <G1722> <G3739> we have preached <G2605> <G5656> the word <G3056> of the Lord <G2962>, [and see] how <G4459> they do <G2192> <G5719>.
- 37
- And <G1161> Barnabas <G0921> determined <G1011> <G5662> to take with them <G4838> <G5629> John <G2491>, whose surname was <G2564> <G5746> Mark <G3138>.
- 38
- But <G1161> Paul <G3972> thought <G0515> <G0000> not <G3361> good <G0515> <G5707> to take <G4838> <G0000> him <G5126> with them <G4838> <G5629>, who <G3588> departed from <G0868> <G5631> them <G0846> from <G0575> Pamphylia <G3828>, and <G2532> went <G4905> <G5631> not <G3361> with them <G0846> to <G1519> the work <G2041>.
- 39
- And <G3767> the contention <G3948> <G0000> was <G1096> <G5633> so sharp between them <G3948>, that <G5620> they departed asunder <G0673> <G5683> one from the other <G0575> <G0240>: and so <G5037> Barnabas <G0921> took <G3880> <G5631> Mark <G3138>, and sailed <G1602> <G5658> unto <G1519> Cyprus <G2954>;
- 40
- And <G1161> Paul <G3972> chose <G1951> <G5671> Silas <G4609>, and departed <G1831> <G5627>, being recommended <G3860> <G5685> by <G5259> the brethren <G0080> unto the grace <G5485> of God <G2316>.
- 41
- And <G1161> he went through <G1330> <G5711> Syria <G4947> and <G2532> Cilicia <G2791>, confirming <G1991> <G5723> the churches <G1577>.
