Acts 15:12-18 GNB ...The whole group was silent as they heard Barnabas and Paul report all the miracles and wonders that God had performed through them among the Gentiles. (13) When they had finished speaking, James spoke up: "Listen to me, my friends! (14) Simon has just explained how God first showed his care for the Gentiles by taking from among them a people to belong to him. [John 10:14-16; Rev 7:2-4 & Rev 7:9-17] (15) The words of the prophets agree completely with this. As the scripture says, (16) 'After this I will return, says the Lord, and restore the kingdom of David. I will rebuild its ruins and make it strong again. (17) And so all the rest of the human race will come to me, all the Gentiles whom I have called to be my own. (18) So says the Lord (), who made this known long ago.' [Amos 9:11-12]
Acts 15:12-18 ESV ...And all the assembly fell silent, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles. (13) After they finished speaking, James replied, "Brothers, listen to me. (14) Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from them a people for his name. [John 10:14-16; Rev 7:2-4 & Rev 7:9-17] (15) And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written, (16) "'After this I will return, and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it, (17) that the remnant of mankind may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord (), who makes these things (18) known from of old.' [Amos 9:11-12]
Acts 15:12-18 GW ...The whole crowd was silent. They listened to Barnabas and Paul tell about all the miracles and amazing things that God had done through them among non-Jewish people. (13) After they finished speaking, James responded, "Brothers, listen to me. (14) Simon has explained how God first showed his concern by taking from non-Jewish people those who would honor his name. [John 10:14-16; Rev 7:2-4 & Rev 7:9-17] (15) This agrees with what the prophets said. Scripture says, (16) 'Afterwards, I will return. I will set up David's fallen tent again. I will restore its ruined places again. I will set it up again (17) so that the survivors and all the people who aren't Jewish over whom my name is spoken, may search for the Lord (), declares the Lord (). (18) He is the one who will do these things that have always been known!' [Amos 9:11-12]
Acts 15:12-18 CEV ...Everyone kept quiet and listened as Barnabas and Paul told how God had given them the power to work a lot of miracles and wonders for the Gentiles. (13) After they had finished speaking, James said: My friends, listen to me! (14) Simon Peter has told how God first came to the Gentiles and made some of them his own people. [John 10:14-16; Rev 7:2-4 & Rev 7:9-17] (15) This agrees with what the prophets wrote, (16) "I, the Lord, will return and rebuild David's fallen house. I will build it from its ruins and set it up again. (17) Then other nations will turn to me and be my chosen ones. I, the Lord (), say this. (18) I promised it long ago." [Amos 9:11-12]
Acts 15:12-18 NWT ...At that the entire multitude became silent, and they began to listen to Bar´na·bas and Paul relate the many signs and portents that God did through them among the nations. 13 After they quit speaking, James answered, saying: “Men, brothers, hear me. 14 Sym´e·on has related thoroughly how God for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name. [John 10:14-16; Rev 7:2-4 & Rev 7:9-17] 15 And with this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written, 16 ‘After these things I shall return and rebuild the booth of David that is fallen down; and I shall rebuild its ruins and erect it again, 17 in order that those who remain of the men may earnestly seek Jehovah (), together with people of all the nations, people who are called by my name, says Jehovah (), who is doing these things, 18 known from of old.’ [Amos 9:11-12]
