Acts 15:1-36

15:1

And
<2532>

certain men
<5100>

which came down
<2718> (5631)

from
<575>

Judaea
<2449>

taught
<1321> (5707)

the brethren
<80>_,

[and said],
<3754>

Except
<3362>

ye be circumcised
<4059> (5747)

after the manner
<1485>

of Moses
<3475>_,

ye cannot
<3756> <1410> (5736)

be saved
<4982> (5683)_.

15:2

When therefore
<3767>

Paul
<3972>

and
<2532>

Barnabas
<921>

had
<1096> (5637)

no
<3756>

small
<3641>

dissension
<4714>

and
<2532>

disputation
<4803>

with
<4314>

them
<846>_,

they determined
<5021> (5656)

that Paul
<3972>

and
<2532>

Barnabas
<921>_,

and
<2532>

certain
<5100>

other
<243>

of
<1537>

them
<846>_,

should go up
<305> (5721)

to
<1519>

Jerusalem
<2419>

unto
<4314>

the apostles
<652>

and
<2532>

elders
<4245>

about
<4012>

this
<5127>

question
<2213>_.

15:3

And
<3303> <3767>

being brought on their way
<4311> (5685)

by
<5259>

the church
<1577>_,

they passed through
<1330> (5711)

Phenice
<5403>

and
<2532>

Samaria
<4540>_,

declaring
<1555> (5740)

the conversion
<1995>

of the Gentiles
<1484>_:

and
<2532>

they caused
<4160> (5707)

great
<3173>

joy
<5479>

unto all
<3956>

the brethren
<80>_.

15:4

And
<1161>

when they were come
<3854> (5637)

to
<1519>

Jerusalem
<2419>_,

they were received
<588> (5681)

of
<5259>

the church
<1577>_,

and
<2532>

[of] the apostles
<652>

and
<2532>

elders
<4245>_,

and
<5037>

they declared
<312> (5656)

all things
<3745>

that God
<2316>

had done
<4160> (5656)

with
<3326>

them
<846>_.

15:5

But
<1161>

there rose up
<1817> (5627)

certain
<5100>

of
<575>

the sect
<139>

of the Pharisees
<5330>

which believed
<4100> (5761)_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

That
<3754>

it was needful
<1163> (5748)

to circumcise
<4059> (5721)

them
<846>_,

and
<5037>

to command
<3853> (5721)

[them] to keep
<5083> (5721)

the law
<3551>

of Moses
<3475>_.

{rose...: or, rose up, said they, certain}

15:6

And
<1161>

the apostles
<652>

and
<2532>

elders
<4245>

came together
<4863> (5681)

for to consider
<1492> (5629)

of
<4012>

this
<5127>

matter
<3056>_.

15:7

And
<1161>

when there had been
<1096> (5637)

much
<4183>

disputing
<4803>_,

Peter
<4074>

rose up
<450> (5631)_,

and said
<2036> (5627)

unto
<4314>

them
<846>_,

Men
<435>

[and] brethren
<80>_,

ye
<5210>

know
<1987> (5736)

how that
<3754>

a good
<744>

while
<2250>

ago
<575>

God
<2316>

made choice
<1586> (5668)

among
<1722>

us
<2254>_,

that the Gentiles
<1484>

by
<1223>

my
<3450>

mouth
<4750>

should hear
<191> (5658)

the word
<3056>

of the gospel
<2098>_,

and
<2532>

believe
<4100> (5658)_.

15:8

And
<2532>

God
<2316>_,

which knoweth the hearts
<2589>_,

bare them
<846>

witness
<3140> (5656)_,

giving
<1325> (5631)

them
<846>

the Holy
<40>

Ghost
<4151>_,

even
<2532>

as
<2531>

[he did] unto us
<2254>_;

15:9

And
<2532>

put
<1252> (0)

no
<3762>

difference
<1252> (5656)

between
<3342> <5037>

us
<2257>

and
<2532>

them
<846>_,

purifying
<2511> (5660)

their
<846>

hearts
<2588>

by faith
<4102>_.

15:10

Now
<3568>

therefore
<3767>

why
<5101>

tempt ye
<3985> (5719)

God
<2316>_,

to put
<2007> (5629)

a yoke
<2218>

upon
<1909>

the neck
<5137>

of the disciples
<3101>_,

which
<3739>

neither
<3777>

our
<2257>

fathers
<3962>

nor
<3777>

we
<2249>

were able
<2480> (5656)

to bear
<941> (5658)_?

15:11

But
<235>

we believe
<4100> (5719)

that through
<1223>

the grace
<5485>

of the Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>

we shall be saved
<4982> (5683)_,

even
<2596> <3739>

as
<5158>

they
<2548>_.

15:12

Then
<1161>

all
<3956>

the multitude
<4128>

kept silence
<4601> (5656)_,

and
<2532>

gave audience
<191> (5707)

to Barnabas
<921>

and
<2532>

Paul
<3972>_,

declaring
<1834> (5740)

what
<3745>

miracles
<4592>

and
<2532>

wonders
<5059>

God
<2316>

had wrought
<4160> (5656)

among
<1722>

the Gentiles
<1484>

by
<1223>

them
<846>_.

15:13

And
<1161>

after
<3326>

they had held
<4601> (0)

their
<846>

peace
<4601> (5658)_,

James
<2385>

answered
<611> (5662)_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Men
<435>

[and] brethren
<80>_,

hearken
<191> (5657)

unto me
<3450>_:

15:14

Simeon
<4826>

hath declared
<1834> (5662)

how
<2531>

God
<2316>

at the first
<4412>

did visit
<1980> (5662)

the Gentiles
<1484>_,

to take
<2983> (5629)

out of
<1537>

them a people
<2992>

for
<1909>

his
<846>

name
<3686>_.

15:15

And
<2532>

to this
<5129>

agree
<4856> (5719)

the words
<3056>

of the prophets
<4396>_;

as
<2531>

it is written
<1125> (5769)_,

15:16

After
<3326>

this
<5023>

I will return
<390> (5692)_,

and
<2532>

will build again
<456> (5692)

the tabernacle
<4633>

of David
<1138>_,

which
<3588>

is fallen down
<4098> (5761)_;

and
<2532>

I will build again
<456> (5692)

the ruins
<2679> (5772)

thereof
<846>_,

and
<2532>

I will set
<461> (0)

it
<846>

up
<461> (5692)_:

15:17

That
<3704> <302>

the residue
<2645>

of men
<444>

might seek after
<1567> (5661)

the Lord
<2962>_,

and
<2532>

all
<3956>

the Gentiles
<1484>_,

upon
<1909>

whom
<3739>

my
<3450>

name
<3686>

is called
<1941> (5769) <1909> <846>_,

saith
<3004> (5719)

the Lord
<2962>_,

who
<3588>

doeth
<4160> (5723)

all
<3956>

these things
<5023>_.

15:18

Known
<1110>

unto God
<2316>

are
<2076> (5748)

all
<3956>

his
<846>

works
<2041>

from
<575>

the beginning of the world
<165>_.

15:19

Wherefore
<1352>

my
<1473>

sentence is
<2919> (5719)_,

that we trouble
<3926> (5721)

not
<3361>

them, which
<3588>

from among
<575>

the Gentiles
<1484>

are turned
<1994> (5723)

to
<1909>

God
<2316>_:

15:20

But
<235>

that we write
<1989> (5658)

unto them
<846>_,

that they abstain
<567> (5733)

from
<575>

pollutions
<234>

of idols
<1497>_,

and
<2532>

[from] fornication
<4202>_,

and
<2532>

[from] things strangled
<4156>_,

and
<2532>

[from] blood
<129>_.

15:21

For
<1063>

Moses
<3475>

of
<1537>

old
<744>

time
<1074>

hath
<2192> (5719)

in every
<2596>

city
<4172>

them that preach
<2784> (5723)

him
<846>_,

being read
<314> (5746)

in
<1722>

the synagogues
<4864>

every
<2596> <3956>

sabbath day
<4521>_.

15:22

Then
<5119>

pleased it
<1380> (5656)

the apostles
<652>

and
<2532>

elders
<4245>_,

with
<4862>

the whole
<3650>

church
<1577>_,

to send
<3992> (5658)

chosen
<1586> (5671)

men
<435>

of
<1537>

their own company
<846>

to
<1519>

Antioch
<490>

with
<4862>

Paul
<3972>

and
<2532>

Barnabas
<921>_;

[namely], Judas
<2455>

surnamed
<1941> (5746)

Barsabas
<923>_,

and
<2532>

Silas
<4609>_,

chief
<2233> (5740)

men
<435>

among
<1722>

the brethren
<80>_:

15:23

And they wrote
<1125> (5660)

[letters] by
<1223>

them
<5495> <846>

after this manner
<3592>_;

The apostles
<652>

and
<2532>

elders
<4245>

and
<2532>

brethren
<80>

[send] greeting
<5463> (5721)

unto the brethren
<80>

which
<3588>

are of
<1537>

the Gentiles
<1484>

in
<2596>

Antioch
<490>

and
<2532>

Syria
<4947>

and
<2532>

Cilicia
<2791>_:

15:24

Forasmuch as
<1894>

we have heard
<191> (5656)_,

that
<3754>

certain
<5100>

which went out
<1831> (5631)

from
<1537>

us
<2257>

have troubled
<5015> (5656)

you
<5209>

with words
<3056>_,

subverting
<384> (5723)

your
<5216>

souls
<5590>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

[Ye must] be circumcised
<4059> (5745)_,

and
<2532>

keep
<5083> (5721)

the law
<3551>_:

to whom
<3739>

we gave
<1291> (0)

no
<3756>

[such] commandment
<1291> (5668)_:

15:25

It seemed good
<1380> (5656)

unto us
<2254>_,

being assembled
<1096> (5637)

with one accord
<3661>_,

to send
<3992> (5658)

chosen
<1586> (5671)

men
<435>

unto
<4314>

you
<5209>

with
<4862>

our
<2257>

beloved
<27>

Barnabas
<921>

and
<2532>

Paul
<3972>_,

15:26

Men
<444>

that have hazarded
<3860> (5761)

their
<846>

lives
<5590>

for
<5228>

the name
<3686>

of our
<2257>

Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>_.

15:27

We have sent
<649> (5758)

therefore
<3767>

Judas
<2455>

and
<2532>

Silas
<4609>_,

who
<846>

shall
<518> (0)

also
<2532>

tell
<518> (5723)

[you] the same things
<846>

by
<1223>

mouth
<3056>_.

{mouth: Gr. word}

15:28

For
<1063>

it seemed good
<1380> (5656)

to the Holy
<40>

Ghost
<4151>_,

and
<2532>

to us
<2254>_,

to lay upon
<2007> (5733)

you
<5213>

no
<3367>

greater
<4119>

burden
<922>

than
<4133>

these
<5130>

necessary things
<1876>_;

15:29

That ye abstain
<567> (5733)

from meats offered to idols
<1494>_,

and
<2532>

from blood
<129>_,

and
<2532>

from things strangled
<4156>_,

and
<2532>

from fornication
<4202>_:

from
<1537>

which
<3739>

if ye keep
<1301> (5723)

yourselves
<1438>_,

ye shall do
<4238> (5692)

well
<2095>_.

Fare ye well
<4517> (5770)_.

15:30

So
<3303> <3767>

when they were dismissed
<630> (5685)_,

they came
<2064> (5627)

to
<1519>

Antioch
<490>_:

and
<2532>

when they had gathered
<4863> (0)

the multitude
<4128>

together
<4863> (5631)_,

they delivered
<1929> (5656)

the epistle
<1992>_:

15:31

[Which] when
<1161>

they had read
<314> (5631)_,

they rejoiced
<5463> (5644)

for
<1909>

the consolation
<3874>_.

{consolation: or, exhortation}

15:32

And Judas
<2455>

and
<2532>

Silas
<4609>_,

being
<5607> (5752)

prophets
<4396>

also
<2532>

themselves
<846>_,

exhorted
<3870> (5656)

the brethren
<80>

with
<1223>

many
<4183>

words
<3056>_,

and
<2532>

confirmed
<1991> (5656)

[them].

15:33

And
<1161>

after they had tarried
<4160> (5660)

[there] a space
<5550>_,

they were let go
<630> (5681)

in
<3326>

peace
<1515>

from
<575>

the brethren
<80>

unto
<4314>

the apostles
<652>_.

15:34

Notwithstanding
<1161>

it pleased
<1380> (5656)

Silas
<4609>

to abide
<1961> (0)

there
<847>

still
<1961> (5658)_.

15:35

Paul
<3972>

also
<1161>

and
<2532>

Barnabas
<921>

continued
<1304> (5707)

in
<1722>

Antioch
<490>_,

teaching
<1321> (5723)

and
<2532>

preaching
<2097> (5734)

the word
<3056>

of the Lord
<2962>_,

with
<3326>

many
<4183>

others
<2087>

also
<2532>_.

15:36

And
<1161>

some
<5100>

days
<2250>

after
<3326>

Paul
<3972>

said
<2036> (5627)

unto
<4314>

Barnabas
<921>_,

<1211>

Let us go again
<1994> (5660)

and visit
<1980> (5667)

our
<2257>

brethren
<80>

in
<2596>

every
<3956>

city
<4172>

where
<1722> <3739>

we have preached
<2605> (5656)

the word
<3056>

of the Lord
<2962>_,

[and see] how
<4459>

they do
<2192> (5719)_.
