Acts 15:4

15:4 When they arrived in Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they reported all the things God had done with them.

Acts 15:6

15:6 Both the apostles and the elders met together to deliberate about this matter.


tn BDAG 761 s.v. παραδέχομαι 2 has “receive, accept” for the meaning here.

tn Or “announced.”

tn “They reported all the things God had done with them” – an identical phrase occurs in Acts 14:27. God is always the agent.

tn The translation for ἰδεῖν (idein) in this verse is given by BDAG 279-80 s.v. εἶδον 3 as “deliberate concerning this matter.” A contemporary idiom would be to “look into” a matter.
