Acts 15:29-41

²⁹That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well.

³⁰They therefore being dismissed, went down to Antioch; and gathering together the multitude, delivered the epistle.

³¹Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.

³²But Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, with many words comforted the brethren, and confirmed them.

³³And after they had spent some time there, they were let go with peace by the brethren, unto them that had sent them.

³⁴But it seemed good unto Silas to remain there; and Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.

³⁵And Paul and Barnabas continued at Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord.

³⁶And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas: Let us return and visit our brethren in all the cities wherein we have preached the word of the Lord, to see how they do.

³⁷And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark;

³⁸But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia, and not gone with them to the work) might not be received.

³⁹And there arose a dissension, so that they departed one from another; and Barnabas indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.

⁴⁰But Paul choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God.

⁴¹And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches, commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients.
