44:014:028 And there they abode long time with the disciples.

44:015:001 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the
           brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner
           of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

44:015:002 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and
           disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas,
           and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the
           apostles and elders about this question.

44:015:003 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed
           through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the
           Gentiles:  and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.

44:015:004 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of
           the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared
           all things that God had done with them.

44:015:005 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which
           believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and
           to command them to keep the law of Moses.

44:015:006 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of
           this matter.

44:015:007 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and
           said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good
           while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my
           mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

44:015:008 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving
           them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;

44:015:009 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their
           hearts by faith.

44:015:010 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of
           the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to
           bear?

44:015:011 But we believe that through the grace of the lord Jesus Christ
           we shall be saved, even as they.

44:015:012 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to
           Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had
           wrought among the Gentiles by them.

44:015:013 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying,
           Men and brethren, hearken unto me: 

44:015:014 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the
           Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

44:015:015 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

44:015:016 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle
           of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the
           ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
