Acts15:4
They were received of the Church - The whole body of Christian believers.
The apostles - Either the whole or part of the twelve; though we read of none but John, Peter, and James. See Gal 2:9.
And elders - Those who were officers in the Church, under the apostles.
They declared - To this council they gave a succinct account of the great work which God had wrought by them among the Gentiles. This was St. Paul's third journey to Jerusalem after his conversion. See an account of his first journey, Act 9:26, and of his second in Act 11:30.
