Acts 15:20

The Jerusalem Council

¹⁹ wherefore my advice is, not to trouble those who from among the Gentiles are converted to God; but to write to them, ²⁰ that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood. ²¹ For Moses hath had from ancient times those that preach him in every city, and is still read in the synagogues every sabbath-day.
