10 Said with a loud voice, Stand up straight on your feet.
And he leaped and walked.
11 And when the people saw what Shaul had done, they
lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of the
Lukaonians, The mighty ones have come down to us in
the likeness of men.
12 And they called Bar-Nava, Zeus; and Shaul, Hermes,
because he was the chief speaker.
13 Then the priest of Zeus, who was before their city,
brought oxen and wreaths to the gates, and wanted to
sacrifice to them along with the people.
14 Which when the shlichim, Bar-Nava and Shaul, heard
of it, they tore their clothes, and ran in among the people,
crying out,
15 And saying, Sirs, why do you do these things? We also
are men of like passions with you, and proclaim to you
that you should make teshuvah from these vanities to the
living tvkt, who made the shamayim, and the olam, and
the sea, and all things that are in them:
16 Who in times past allowed all nations to have their
halacha in their own ways.
17 Nevertheless He left not Himself without witness, in
that He did tov, and gave us rain from the shamayim, and
fruitful seasons, filling our levim with food and simcha.
18 And with these sayings they barely restrained the
people, so that they did not sacrifice to them.
19 And there came certain unbelieving Yahudim from
Antioch and Ikoniom, who persuaded the people to turn
against the shlichim, and, having stoned Shaul, drew him
out of the city, thinking he was dead.
20 But, as the talmidim stood all around him, he rose up,
and came into the city: and the next day he departed with
Bar-Nava to Derbe.
21 And when they had proclaimed the Besorah to that
city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lustra,
and to Ikoniom, and Antioch,
22 Exhorting the talmidim, and reminding them to
continue in the emunah, and that we must through great
tribulation 5322 enter into the malchut of vuvh.
23 And when they had ordained zechanim in every
congregation of Yisrael, and had made tefillah and fasted,
they commended them to gauvh, on whom they believed.
24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they
came to Pamphulia.
25 And when they had proclaimed the word of the Master
vuvh in Perge, they went down into Attalia:
26 And from there they sailed to Antioch, from where
they had been recommended to the favor of the Master
vuvh for the work that they fulfilled.
27 And when they had come, and had gathered the
congregation of Yisrael together, they rehearsed all that
vuvh had done with them, and how He had opened the
door of emunah to the nations.
28 And there they stayed a long time with the talmidim.
And certain men which came down from Yahudah
taught the Yisraelite brothers, and said, Except you
receive brit-milah after the manner of Moshe, you cannot
be saved. 5323

2 When therefore Shaul and Bar-Nava had no small
dissension and disputation with them, they determined
that Shaul and Bar-Nava, and certain others of them,

should go up to Yahrushalayim to the shlichim and
zechanim about this question.
3 And being sent on their derech by the congregation of
Yisrael, they passed through Phoenicia and Shomron,
declaring the return of the nations: and they caused great
simcha to all the Yisraelite brothers.
4 And when they had come to Yahrushalayim, they were
received by the congregation of Yisrael, and by the
shlichim and zechanim, and they declared all things that
vuvh had done through them.
5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Prushim who
believed, saying, That it was needful to give them brit
milah, and to command them to keep the Torah of
Moshe. 5324
6 And the shlichim and zechanim came together to
consider this matter.
7 And when there had been much disputing, Kepha rose
up, and said to them, Men and Yisraelite brothers, you
know how that a long time ago vuvh made choices among
us, that the nations by my mouth should hear the word of
the Besorah, and believe.
8 And vuvh, who knows the levim, bore them witness,
giving them the Ruach Hakodesh even as He did to us;
9 And put no difference between us and them; purifying
their levim by emunah. 5325
10 Now therefore why do you tempt vuvh, to put a yoke
upon the neck of the talmidim, which neither our ahvot
nor we were able to bear? 5326
11 But we believe that through the favor of gauvh ha
Moshiach we shall be saved, even as they will.
12 Then the entire multitude kept silent, and listened to
Bar-Nava and Shaul, declaring what nisim and wonders
vuvh had done among the nations by them.
13 And after they had kept silent, Yaakov answered,
saying, Men and Yisraelite brothers, listen to me:
14 Shimon has declared how vuvh at first did visit the
nations, to take out from them a people for His Name. 5327
15 And to this agree the words of the neviim; as it is
written, 5328
16 After this I will return, and will rebuild 5329 again the
Sukkah of Dawid, which has fallen down; and I will
rebuild again its ruins, and I will set it up once more: 5330
17 That the remnant of men might seek after the Master
vuvh, and all the nations, upon whom My Name is called,
5331 said the Master vuvh, who does all these things.
18 Known to vuvh are all His works from the beginning
of the olam.
19 Because of this, my mishpat is that we trouble not
those, who are from among the nations and who are
returning 5332 to vuvh:
20 But that we write to them, that they abstain from
pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things
strangled, and from dahm. 5333
21 For Moshe from old times has in every city those that
proclaim his teachings, with his Torah being read in the
5334 5335
synagogues every Shabbat.
22 Then it pleased the shlichim and zechanim, with the
entire congregation of Yisrael, to send chosen men of
their own company to Antioch with Shaul and Bar-Nava;
namely, Yahudah surnamed Bar-Savas, and Sila, key men
among the Yisraelite brothers:
23 And they gave them written letters to be delivered
saying; The shlichim and zechanim and Yisraelite
