Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 15, verses 13-21

¹³When they finished, James spoke up: "Brothers, listen to me.

¹⁴Simon¹ has described to us how God at first showed his concern by taking from the Gentiles a people for himself.

¹⁵The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written:

¹⁶" 'After this I will return
and rebuild David's fallen tent.
Its ruins I will rebuild,
and I will restore it,

¹⁷that the remnant of men may seek the Lord,
and all the Gentiles who bear my name,
says the Lord, who does these things'²

¹⁸that have been known for ages.³

¹⁹"It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God.

²⁰Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood.

²¹For Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath."
