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?
11 But awe believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus1 Christ we shall be saved in the same manner as they.”
