Acts 15
1 Then cam certayne from Iewrie and taught the brethren: excepte ye be circumcysed after the maner of Moses ye cannot be saved.
And certain ones having come down from Judea were teaching the brothers that Only unless (you shall become circumcised *N(k)O*) according to the custom (*no*) of Moses, [then] not you are able to be saved.
2 And when ther was rysen dissencion and disputinge not a litle vnto Paul and Barnabas agaynst them. They determined that Paul and Barnabas and certayne other of them shuld ascende to Ierusalem vnto the Apostles and elders aboute this question.
When was hapening (then *N(k)O*) commotion and (controversy *N(k)O*) no small by Paul and Barnabas with them they appointed to go up Paul and Barnabas and certain others out from them to the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about question this.
3 And after they were brought on their waye by the congregacion they passed over Phenices and Samaria declarynge the conuersion of the getyls and they brought great ioye vnto all ye brethren.
They indeed therefore having been sent forward by the church were passing through (both *no*) Phoenicia and Samaria relating in detail the conversion of the Gentiles and they were bringing joy great to all the brothers.
4 And when they were come to Ierusalem they were receaved of the congregacion and of the Apostles and elders. And they declared what thinges God had done by them.
Having come then to Jerusalem (they were received by *N(k)O*) the church and the apostles and the elders, They declared then how much God did with them.
5 Then arose ther vp certayne that were of the secte of the Pharises and dyd beleve sayinge that it was nedfull to circucise them and to enioyne the to kepe ye lawe of Moses.
Rose up now certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees having believed saying that It is necessary to circumcise them to command [them] then to keep the law of Moses.
6 And ye Apostles and elders came to geder to reason of this matter.
Were gathered together (then *N(k)O*) the apostles and the elders to understand about matter this.
7 And when ther was moche disputinge Peter rose vp and sayde vnto them: Ye men and brethren ye knowe how that a good whyle agoo God chose amoge vs that the getyls by my mouth shuld heare the worde of the gospell and beleve.
Of much now (controversy *N(k)O*) having taken place, having risen up Peter said to them; Men brothers, you yourselves know that from days early among (you *N(K)O*) chose God through the mouth of mine to hear the Gentiles the word of the gospel and to believe.
8 And God which knoweth the herte bare them witnes and gave vnto them the holy goost eve as he dyd vnto vs
And the heart-knowing God bore witness to them having given (to them *k*) the Spirit Holy even as also to us;
9 and he put no difference bitwene them and vs but with fayth purified their hertes.
and no [thing] He made distinction between us also and them by the faith having purified the hearts of them.
10 Now therfore why tempte ye God that ye wolde put a yoke on the disciples neckes which nether oure fathers nor we were able to beare.
Now therefore why are you testing God to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples that neither the fathers of us nor we ourselves were able to bear?
11 But we beleve that thorowe the grace of the Lorde Iesu Christ we shalbe saved as they doo.
But through the grace of the Lord Jesus (Christ *K*) we believe to be saved in [the] same manner [as] they also. they also.
12 Then all the multitude was peased and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul which tolde what signes and wondres God had shewed amonge the gentyls by them.
Kept silent now all the multitude and were listening to Barnabas and Paul relating how much did God signs and wonders among the Gentiles through them.
13 And when they helde their peace Iames answered sayinge: Men and brethren herken vnto me.
After now being silent they answered James saying; Men brothers, do hear me.
14 Simeon tolde how God at the begynnynge dyd visit the gentyls and receaved of them people vnto his name.
Simeon has related even as first God visited to take out of [the] Gentiles a people (upon *k*) for the name of Him;
15 And to this agreith ye wordes of ye Prophetes as it is written.
And with this agree the words of the prophets even as it has been written:
16 After this I will returne and wyll bylde agayne the tabernacle of David which is fallen doune and that which is fallen in dekey of it will I bilde agayne and I will set it vp
After these things I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David which having fallen and the (ruined *NK(o)*) of it I will rebuild and I will set upright it;
17 that the residue of men might seke after the Lorde and also the gentyls vpo whom my name is named saith ye Lorde which doth all these thinges:
so that when may seek out the remnant of men the Lord and all the Gentiles, upon whom has been called the name of Me upon them, says [the] Lord (who *ko*) is doing these things (all *K*)
known from eternity’ (is to God all the works of him. *K*) (aiōn g165)
19 Wherfore my sentece is yt we trouble not them which fro amonge the gentyls are turned to God:
Therefore I myself judge not to trouble those who from the Gentiles are turning to God,
20 but yt we write vnto them yt they abstayne them selves fro filthynes of ymages fro fornicacio from straglyd and fro bloude.
but to write to them to abstain from (from *k*) the pollutions of the idols and sexual immorality and that which is strangled and from blood.
21 For Moses of olde tyme hath in every cite that preache him and he is rede in the synagoges every saboth daye.
Moses for from generations of old in every city those proclaiming him he is in the synagogues on every Sabbath being read.
22 Then pleased it the Apostles and elders wt the whole congregacio to sende chosyn men of their owne copany to Antioche with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Iudas called also Barsabas and Silas which were chefe men amonge the brethre
Then it seemed good to the apostles and to the elders with all the church having chosen men out from them to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, Judas who (is being called *N(k)O*) Barsabbas and Silas, men leading among the brothers,
23 and gave them lettres in their hondes after this maner. The Apostles elders and brethren send gretynges vnto the brethre which are of the gentyls in Antioche Siria and Celicia.
having written through [the] hand of them (these things: *k*) The apostles and the elders (and the *K*) brothers To those in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia to brothers among the Gentiles Greeting.
24 For as moche as we have hearde yt certayne which departed fro vs have troubled you with wordes and combred youre myndes sayinge: Ye must be circumcised and kepe the lawe to whom we gave no soche comaundemet.
Inasmuch as we have heard that some from us went out troubled you by words upsetting the minds of you (saying to be circumcised and to keep the law *K*) to whom not we had given instructions,
25 It semed therfore to vs a good thinge when we were come to gedder with one accorde to sende chosyn men vnto you with oure beloved Barnabas and Paul
it seemed good to us having come with one accord (having chosen *N(k)O*) men to send to you with the beloved of us Barnabas and Paul,
26 men that have ieoperded their lyves for the name of oure Lorde Iesus Christ.
men having handed over the lives of them for the name of the Lord of us Jesus Christ.
27 We have sent therfore Iudas and Sylas which shall also tell you the same thinges by mouth.
We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, and they through word [of mouth] are telling [you] the same things.
28 For it semed good to the holy gost and to vs to put no grevous thinge to you more then these necessary thinges:
It seemed good for to the Spirit (*no*) Holy and to us no further to lay upon you burden except these necessary things
29 that is to saye that ye abstayne from thinges offered to ymages from bloud from strangled and fornicacion. From which yf ye kepe youre selves ye shall do well. So fare ye well.
to abstain from idol-sacrifices and from blood and (from a strangled [one] *N(k)O*) and from sexual immorality; From these keeping yourselves well you will do. Farewell!
30 When they were departed they came to Antioche and gaddred the multitude togeder and delyvered ye pistle.
They indeed therefore having been sent off (went *N(k)O*) to Antioch, and having gathered the multitude they delivered the letter.
31 When they had redde it they reioysed of that consolacion.
Having read [it] now they rejoiced at the encouragement.
32 And Iudas and Sylas beinge prophetes exhorted the brethren with moche preachynge and strengthed them.
Judas both and Silas, also themselves prophets being, through talk much exhorted the brothers and strengthened [them].
33 And after they had taryed there a space they were let goo in peace of the brethren vnto the Apostles.
Having continued then a time they were sent away in peace from the brothers to those (having sent *N(K)O*) (them. *no*)
34 Not with stondynge it pleasyd Sylas to abyde there still.
(It seemed good however to Silas to remain here. *K*)
35 Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioche teachynge and preachynge the worde of the Lorde with other many.
Paul however and Barnabas were staying in Antioch teaching and evangelising with also others many the word of the Lord.
36 But after a certayne space Paul sayde vnto Barnabas: Let vs goo agayne and visite oure brethren in every cite where we have shewed the worde of the Lorde and se how they do.
After now some days said to Barnabas Paul; Having turned back indeed let us look after the brothers (of us *k*) in city every in which we have announced the word of the Lord, how they are.
37 And Barnabas gave counsell to take wt them Iohn called also Marke.
Barnabas now (was planning *N(k)O*) to take along (also *no*) John who is being called Mark;
38 But Paul thought it not mete to take him vnto their company whiche departed from them at Pamphylia and went not with them to the worke.
Paul however was considering the [one] having withdrawn from them from Pamphylia and not having gone with them to the work not (to take along *N(k)(o)*) him.
39 And the dissencion was so sharpe bitwene them that they departed a sunder one from the other: so that Barnabas toke Marke and sayled vnto Cypers.
Arose (therefore *N(k)O*) a sharp disagreement, so that separating they from one another, and Barnabas having taken Mark sailing to Cyprus.
40 And Paul chose Sylas and departed delyvered of ye brethren vnto the grace of god.
Paul however having chosen Silas went forth having been committed to the grace of the (Lord *N(K)O*) by the brothers.
41 And he went thorowe all Cyria and Cilicia stablisshynge the congregacions.
He was passing through then Syria and (*no*) Cilicia strengthening the churches.
