Acts 15:20

The Jerusalem Council

¹⁹ Therefore I am decided, that we give no unnecessary disquietude to those who from the heathen have turned to God: ²⁰ but that we write to them, that they abstain from pollutions of idol [sacrifices], and from whoredom, and from what is strangled, and from blood. ²¹ For Moses for ages past in every city hath those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath-day.
