Acts 15:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 15:18

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.

21 For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city, ^abeing read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”

The Jerusalem Decree

22 Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas who was also named ^aBarsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.
