The Jerusalem Council

1 ¹But some men came down from Judea and were teaching ²the brothers, "Unless you are ³circumcised ⁴according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."

2 And after Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and ⁵debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and ⁶some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to ⁷the apostles and the elders about this question.

3 So, ⁸being sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, ⁹describing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and ¹⁰brought great joy to all ¹¹the brothers.^a

4 ¹²When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and ¹³the apostles and the elders, and ¹⁴they declared all that God had done with them.

5 But some believers who belonged to ¹⁵the party of the Pharisees rose up and said, ¹⁶"It is necessary ¹⁷to circumcise them and to order them to keep the law of Moses."

6 ¹⁸The ¹⁹apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter.

7 And after there had been much ²⁰debate, Peter stood up and said to them, "Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, ²¹that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear ²²the word of ²³the gospel and believe.

8 And God, ²⁴who knows the heart, ²⁵bore witness to them, ²⁶by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us,

9 and ²⁷he made no distinction between us and them, ²⁸having cleansed their hearts ²⁹by faith.

10 Now, therefore, why ³⁰are you putting God to the test ³¹by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples ³²that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?

11 But we ³³believe that we will be ³⁴saved through ³⁵the grace of the Lord Jesus, ³⁶just as they will."

12 And all the assembly fell silent, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul ³⁷as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.

13 After they finished speaking, ³⁸James replied, "Brothers, listen to me.

14 ³⁹Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from them ⁴⁰a people for his name.

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

16 ⁴¹"'After this I will return, and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it,

17 that the remnant^b of mankind ⁴²may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles ⁴³who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things

18 ⁴⁴known from of old.'

19 Therefore ⁴⁵my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who ⁴⁶turn to God,

20 but should write to them ⁴⁷to abstain from ⁴⁸the things polluted by idols, and from ⁴⁹sexual immorality, and from ⁵⁰what has been strangled, and from ⁵¹blood.

21 For from ancient generations Moses has had in every city those who proclaim him, ⁵²for he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues."
