Acts 15:12-29

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)_.
