Acts 15:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 15:8

The Jerusalem Council

6 Now the apostles and elders came together to consider this matter.

7 And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: ^a“Men and brethren, you know that a good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.

8 So God, ^awho knows the heart, acknowledged them by ^bgiving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us,

9 ^aand made no distinction between us and them, ^bpurifying their hearts by faith.

10 Now therefore, why do you test God ^aby putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
