by word of mouth, tell you the same things.
15:28. For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us to lay no
further burden upon you than these necessary things:
15:29. That 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.
From blood, and from things strangled... The use of these things, though
of their own nature indifferent, was here prohibited, to bring the Jews
more easily to admit of the society of the Gentiles; and to exercise the
latter in obedience. But this prohibition was but temporary, and has
long since ceased to oblige; more especially in the western churches.

15:35. And Paul and Barnabas continued at Antioch, teaching and
preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord.
15:36. And 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.
15:37. And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was
surnamed Mark.
15:38. But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of
Pamphylia and not gone with them to the work) might not be received.
15:39. And there arose a dissension so that they departed one from
another. And Barnabas indeed, taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.
15:40. But Paul, choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the
brethren to the grace of God.
15:41. And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches,
commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients.
Acts Chapter 16
Paul visits the churches. He is called to preach in Macedonia. He is
scourged at Philippi.
16:1. And he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, there was a certain
disciple there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman that believed:
but his father was a Gentile.
16:2. To this man the brethren that were in Lystra and Iconium gave a
good testimony.
16:3. Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him, he
circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they
all knew that his father was a Gentile.
16:4. And as they passed through the cities, they delivered unto them
the decrees for to keep, that were decreed by the apostles and ancients
who were at Jerusalem.
16:5. And the churches were confirmed in faith and increased in number
daily.

Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the word in
Asia.
16:7. And when they were come into Mysia, they attempted to go into
Bithynia: and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not.
