## Acts 15:20-23 in Context (Verses 17–26 KJV)
 
 [17 ](/kjv/acts/15/17) That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/acts/15/18) Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/acts/15/19) Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
 
 [20 ](/kjv/acts/15/20) But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and *from* fornication, and *from* things strangled, and *from* blood.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/acts/15/21) For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/acts/15/22) Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; *namely*, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
 
 [23 ](/kjv/acts/15/23) And they wrote *letters* by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren *send* greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
 
 [24 ](/kjv/acts/15/24) Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, *Ye must* be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no *such* commandment:
 
 [25 ](/kjv/acts/15/25) It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
 
 [26 ](/kjv/acts/15/26) Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
[Acts 14](/kjv/acts/14) [Acts 16](/kjv/acts/16)
