First Reading:Â Acts 15:Â 22-31
22Â Then it pleased the apostles and ancients, with the whole church, to choose men of their own company, and to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas, who was surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren.
23 Writing by their hands: The apostles and ancients, brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles that are at Antioch, and in Syria and Cilicia, greeting.
24Â Forasmuch as we have heard, that some going out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment:
25Â It hath seemed good to us, being assembled together, to choose out men, and to send them unto you, with our well beloved Barnabas and Paul:
26Â Men that have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27Â We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, by word of mouth, tell you the same things.
28Â For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay no further burden upon you than these necessary things:
29Â 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.
