Acts 15
1 And certain having come down from Judea, were teaching the brethren — 'If ye be not circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye are not able to be saved;'
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ ⲁⲩϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲃⲃⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⲙⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲙⲛ ϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ
2 there having been, therefore, not a little dissension and disputation to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up unto the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about this question,
ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲍⲏⲧⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲩⲧⲉϣ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲃⲱⲕ ϣⲁ ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲛ ⲑⲓⲗⲏⲙ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲍⲏⲧⲏⲙⲁ
3 they indeed, then, having been sent forward by the assembly, were passing through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the nations, and they were causing great joy to all the brethren.
ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲑⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲫⲟⲓⲛⲓⲕⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲧⲟ ⲛⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲣⲁϣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ
4 And having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, they declared also as many things as God did with them;
ⲇ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲁⲩϣⲟⲡⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ
5 and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying — 'It behoveth to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the law of Moses.'
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲑⲁⲓⲣⲉⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϣϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲥⲃⲃⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲓⲗⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ
6 And there were gathered together the apostles and the elders, to see about this matter,

7 and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said unto them, 'Men, brethren, ye know that from former days, God among us did make choice, through my mouth, for the nations to hear the word of the good news, and to believe;
ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲍⲏⲧⲏⲥⲓⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲁⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲥⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ
8 and the heart-knowing God did bare them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us,
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲁϥⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲛ
9 and did put no difference also between us and them, by the faith having purified their hearts;

10 now, therefore, why do ye tempt God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
ⲓ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲟⲩⲉϩ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩⲃ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲙⲁⲕϩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉϥⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ
11 but, through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, even as also they.'

12 And all the multitude did keep silence, and were hearkening to Barnabas and Paul, declaring as many signs and wonders as God did among the nations through them;
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲕⲁⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϫⲓⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲧⲁⲩⲟ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ
13 and after they are silent, James answered, saying, 'Men, brethren, hearken to me;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲧⲣⲉⲩⲕⲁⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ
14 Simeon did declare how at first God did look after to take out of the nations a people for His name,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲥⲩⲙⲉⲱⲛ ⲁϥϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϭⲙⲡϣⲓⲛⲉ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉϫⲓⲟⲩⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ
15 and to this agree the words of the prophets, as it hath been written:
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲥⲩⲙⲫⲱⲛⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ
16 After these things I will turn back, and I will build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and its ruins I will build again, and will set it upright —

17 that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the nations, upon whom My name hath been called, saith the Lord, who is doing all these things.

ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲓⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϩ (aiōn g165)
19 wherefore I judge: not to trouble those who from the nations do turn back to God,

20 but to write to them to abstain from the pollutions of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing; and the blood;

21 for Moses from former generations in every city hath those preaching him — in the synagogues every sabbath being read.'

22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, chosen men out of themselves to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas — Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren —

23 having written through their hand thus: 'The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to those in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, brethren, who [are] of the nations, greeting;

27 we have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they by word are telling the same things.

30 They then, indeed, having been let go, went to Antioch, and having brought the multitude together, did deliver the epistle,

32 Judas also and Silas, being themselves also prophets, through much discourse did exhort the brethren, and confirm,

35 And Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming good news — with many others also — the word of the Lord;

37 And Barnabas counselled to take with [them] John called Mark,

38 and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work;

39 there came, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas having taken Mark, did sail to Cyprus,
