James’ Judgment

¹³ After they stopped speaking, ^[a](A)James responded, saying, “^[b]Brothers, listen to me.

¹⁸ And the following day Paul went in with us to ^[a](A)James, and all ^(B)the elders were present.

⁷ then He appeared to ^[a](A)James, then to ^(B)all the apostles;

¹⁹ But I did not see another one of the apostles except ^[a](A)James, the Lord’s brother.

⁹ and recognizing ^(A)the grace that had been given to me, ^[a](B)James and ^[b](C)Cephas and John, who were ^(D)reputed to be ^(E)pillars, gave to me and ^(F)Barnabas the ^(G)right ^[c]hand of fellowship, so that we might ^(H)go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.

¹² For prior to the coming of some men from ^[a](A)James, he used to ^(B)eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to withdraw and separate himself, ^(C)fearing those from the circumcision.
