The Journey to Antioch
- 3:19 p.m. This is why I believe we should not create difficulties to the Gentiles who are turning to God,
- 3:20 p.m., but we write them to abstain from pollutions of idols, from fornication, from things strangled and blood.
- 3:21 p.m. For many generations past, Moses in every city them that preach him, being read every Sabbath in synagogues.

- 3:23 p.m. They charged them a letter: The apostles, elders, and brothers, brothers of the Gentiles, who are in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia, hello!
- 3:24 p.m. Having learned that some men went out from us, and that we had given no orders have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls,
- 3:25 p.m. we thought about, after we all together, to choose delegates and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
- 3:26 p.m. these men who risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- 3:27 p.m. We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who will announce their mouth the same things.
- 3:28 p.m. For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and we do require you to load other than what is necessary,
- 3:29 p.m. know, that you abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, from blood, strangled, and fornication, things against which you will find much to keep you alert. Goodbye.

- 3:37 p.m. Barnabas wanted to take also John, surnamed Mark;
