Actes 15:15 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 15:15

And to this agree the words of the prophets
In several of the prophecies of the Old Testament, which plainly speak of the calling of the Gentiles; though James thought it sufficient to produce only one instead of many:

as it is written;
in ( Amos 9:11 Amos 9:12 ) and this is agreeably to the Jewish way of citing Scriptures, as Surenhusius observes; so it is said F17, in twenty four places the priests are called Levites, and this is one of them, ( Ezekiel 44:15 ) where only one place is mentioned, instead of the twenty four.

F17 T. Bab. Yebamot, fol. 86, 2. & Beracot, fol. 4. 1, 2.

13 Et après qu'ils eurent cessé de parler, Jacques prit la parole, et dit: Hommes frères, écoutez-moi.
14 Simon a raconté comment Dieu a commencé de choisir parmi les Gentils un peuple consacré à son nom;
15 Et avec cela s'accordent les paroles des prophètes, selon qu'il est écrit:
16 Après cela, je reviendrai, et je rebâtirai le tabernacle de David, qui est tombé; et je réparerai ses ruines, et je le redresserai;
17 Afin que le reste des hommes, et toutes les nations sur lesquelles mon nom est invoqué, cherchent le Seigneur; ainsi dit le Seigneur, qui a fait toutes ces choses.
