Acts 15:2-4

Expanded Bible

² Paul and Barnabas ·were against this teaching and argued [^Lhad no small argument and debate] with them about it. So the church ·decided to send [commissioned; appointed] Paul, Barnabas, and some others to Jerusalem where they could talk more about this disagreement with the apostles and elders.

³ The church ·helped them leave [sent them] on the trip, and they went through the countries of Phoenicia and Samaria, telling all about ·how the other nations had turned to God [^Lthe conversion of the Gentiles]. This made all the ·believers [^Lbrothers (and sisters)] very ·happy [joyful]. ⁴ When they arrived in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the apostles, the elders, and the church. They told about everything God had done with them.
