Acts 15:20-22
Amplified Bible
20 but that we write to them that they are to abstain from [a]anything that has been contaminated by [being offered to] idols and from sexual impurity and from [eating the meat of] what has been strangled and from [the consumption of] [b]blood. 21 For from ancient generations [the writing of] Moses has been preached in every city, since [c]he is read aloud in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
22 Then the apostles and the elders, together with the whole church, decided to select some of their men to go to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas—Judas, who was called Barsabbas, and Silas [also called Silvanus, both], leading men among the brothers.
