Acts 15:27

Acts 15:27

25 it seemed good to us, being assembled with one¹ accord, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

26 ^amen who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

27 We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who will also report the same things by word of mouth.

28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:

29 ^athat you abstain from things offered to idols, ^bfrom blood, from things strangled, and from ^csexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well.
Farewell.

Who themselves also shall tell you the same things by word of mouth (kai autouv dia logou apaggellontav ta auta). Literally, "they themselves also by speech announcing the same things." The present participle, as here, sometimes is used like the future to express purpose as in Acts 3:26 eulogounta after apesteilen and so here apaggellontav after apestalkamen (Robertson, Grammar, p. 1128). Judas and Silas are specifically endorsed (perfect active indicative of apostellw) as bearers of the epistle who will also verbally confirm the contents of the letter.
