We have sent therefore Judas and Silas
The chosen men before mentioned,

who shall also tell you the same things by mouth;
as are written in these letters; which would both confirm and explain things unto them.

Acts 15:27 In-Context

25 We have agreed unanimously to pick representatives and send them to you with our good friends Barnabas and Paul.
26 We picked men we knew you could trust, Judas and Silas - they've looked death in the face time and again for the sake of our Master Jesus Christ.
27 We've sent them to confirm in a face-to-face meeting with you what we've written.
28 It seemed to the Holy Spirit and to us that you should not be saddled with any crushing burden, but be responsible only for these bare necessities:
29 Be careful not to get involved in activities connected with idols; avoid serving food offensive to Jewish Christians (blood, for instance); and guard the morality of sex and marriage. These guidelines are sufficient to keep relations congenial between us. And God be with you! Barnabas and Paul Go Their Separate Ways
