Acts 15:22–35 · BSB
15:22 Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to select men from among them to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas called Barsabbas and Silas, two leaders among the brothers,
15:23 and sent them with this letter: The apostles and the elders, your brothers, To the brothers among the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: Greetings.
15:24 It has come to our attention that some went out from us without our authorization and unsettled you, troubling your minds by what they said.
15:25 So we all agreed to choose men to send to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
15:26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15:27 Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to tell you in person the same things we are writing.
15:28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond these essential requirements:
15:29 You must abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell.
15:30 So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they assembled the congregation and delivered the letter.
15:31 When the people read it, they rejoiced at its encouraging message.
15:32 Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers.
15:33 After spending some time there, they were sent off by the brothers in peace to return to those who had sent them.
15:34 This verse number has no text in the BSB edition.
15:35 But Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, along with many others, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord.
