The Jerusalem Council Convenes

Acts 15:6-12

Then the Apostles and Elders came together to looke to this matter.

And when there had bene great disputation, Peter rose vp, and said vnto them, Ye men and brethren, ye know that a good while ago, among vs God chose out me, that the Gentiles by my mouth should heare the worde of the Gospel, and beleeue.

And God which knoweth the heartes, bare them witnesse, in giuing vnto them ye holy Ghost euen as he did vnto vs.

And he put no difference betweene vs and them, after that by faith he had purified their heartes.

Nowe therefore, why tempt ye God, to lay a yoke on the disciples neckes, which neither our fathers, nor we were able to beare?

But we beleeue, through the grace of the Lord Iesus Christ to be saued, euen as they doe.

Then all the multitude kept silence, and heard Barnabas and Paul, which told what signes and wonders God had done among the Gentiles by them.
