Acts 15:23-28

²³and sent them with this letter: “Greetings from us, the apostles and elders and brothers, to the non-Jewish brothers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia:

²⁴We have heard that some from our group have confused you with their teachings, causing you trouble. We certainly didn't tell them to do this!

²⁵So we have agreed to choose some representatives and send them to you together with our much-loved brothers Barnabas and Paul,

²⁶who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁷So we are sending to you Judas and Silas who can verbally confirm what we're saying.

²⁸It seemed best to the Holy Spirit and to us not to place on you any heavier burden than these important requirements.
