5 But some belonging to the party of the Pharisees who had believed stood up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to command them to keep the Torah of Moses.”
6 The emissaries and elders were gathered together to examine this issue.
7 After much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God chose from among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the message of the Good News and believe.
8 And God, who knows the heart, testified to them by giving them the Ruach ha-Kodesh—just as He also did for us.
9 He made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts through faith.
10 Why then do you put God to the test by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples—which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
11 But instead, we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Yeshua, in the same way as they are.”
