Barnabas and Paul report; James gives his judgment

바나바와 바울이 고하고 야고보가 자기 의견을 말함

Acts 15:12–21: all the multitude keeps silence, and they listen to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them. After they are silent, James answers, “Brothers, listen to me. Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name. This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written, ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’ All of God’s works are known to him from eternity. Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God, but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood. For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”

Unresolved interpretation: The Simeon whom James names at Acts 15:14

Acts 15:7–9 says that after much discussion Peter rose up and said, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe. God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.”

  ⁶The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
  ⁷When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.
  ⁸God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
  ⁹He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
  ¹⁰Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
  ¹¹But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
