Acts 15:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 15:16

14 ^aSimon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name.

15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:

16 ‘After^a this I will return
And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down;
I will rebuild its ruins,
And I will set it up;

17 So that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord,
Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name,
Says the¹ Lord who does all these things.’

18 ¹“Known to God from eternity are all His works.

19 Therefore ^aI judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who ^bare turning to God,

20 but that we ^awrite to them to abstain ^bfrom things polluted by idols, ^cfrom sexual immorality, ^dfrom things strangled, and from blood.
