    with the greater and more perfet tabernale not made with hands'

    that is' not of this reation.

    12 ot with the blood of goats and alves'

    bt with "is own blood "e entered the ost "ol% Dlae one for all'

    having obtained eternalreemption.

    1+ or if the blood of blls and goats and the ashes of a heifer' sprinkling the nlean'

    santifies for the prif%ing of the flesh'

    1- how mh more shall the blood of 4hrist'

    Who throgh the eternal 5Hol"6 #piritoffered "imself

    withot spot to !od'

    leanse %or onsiene from dead works to serve the living !od?

    1/ &nd for this reason "e is the ediator of the ew 4ovenant'

    b% means of death'

    for the redemption of the transgressions nder the irst 4ovenant'that those who are alled ma% reeive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

    1 or where there is a testament'

    there mst also of neessit% be the death of the testator.1: or a testament is in fore after men are dead'

    sine it has no power at all while the testator lives.

    18 herefore not even the irst 4ovenant was dediated withot blood.

    19 or when oses had spoken ever% preept to all the people

    aording to the =aw'

    he took the blood of alves and goats' with water' sarlet wool' and h%ssop'

    and sprinkled both the Eook itself and all the people' sa%ing'

    20 5his is the blood of the ovenant whih !od has ommanded %o.6

    21 hen likewise he sprinkled with blood

    both the tabernale and all the vessels of the ministr%.

    22 &nd aording to the =aw almost all things are prified with blood'

    and withot shedding of blood there is no remission.

    %hat was the main reason $or many ews with early 2hristian teaching' &od allows $or 333333333

    333333333333 in #elie+ing. %hat does the word !appointed" and !nown to &od $rometernit"

    man% of the Aews and devot prosel%tes followed Dal and Earnabas'

    who' speaking to them' persaded them to ontine in the grae of !od.

    -- @n the net >abbath almost the whole it% ame together to hear the word of !od.

    -/ Et when the Aews saw the mltitdes' the% were filled with env%

    and ontraditing and blaspheming' the% opposed the things spoken b% Dal.

    5It was neessar% that the word of !od shold be spoken to %o first

    bt sine %o re*et it' and *dge %orselves nworth% of everlasting life'

    behold' we trn to the !entiles.

    -: or so the =ord has ommanded s7

    I have set %o as a light to the !entiles'

    that %o shold be for salvation to the ends of the ;arth.J6

    raised p persetion against Dal and Earnabas' and

    epelled them from their region.

    /1 Et the% #Dal and Earnabas$ shook off the dst from their feet against them'

    and ame to Ionim.

    /2 &nd the disiples were filled with *o% and with the "ol% >pirit.$cts 15:6-20

    ow the apostles and elders ame together to onsider this matter.

    whih neither or fathers nor we were able to bear?11 Et we believe that throgh the grae of the =ord Aess 4hrist

    we shall be saved in the same manner as the%.6

    12 hen all the mltitde kept silent

    and listened to Earnabas and Dal delaring how man% mirales and wonders

    !od had worked throgh them among the !entiles.

    1+ &nd after the% #Earnabas and Dal $ had beome silent' Aames answered' sa%ing'

    5en and brethren' listen to me7

    1- >imon has delared how !od at the first visited the !entiles

    to take ot of them a people for "is name.

    18 Known to !od from eternit"are all "is works.

    19 herefore I *dge that we shold not troble those from among the !entiles

    who are trning to !od'

    20 bt that we write to them to abstain

    from things pollted b% idols'

    from seal immoralit%'

    from things strangled' and
