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:
