King James Version
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:

New King James Version
13 And after they had [a]become silent, (A)James answered, saying, “Men and brethren, listen to me: 14 (B)Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name. 15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:
16 ‘After(C) this I will return
And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down;
I will rebuild its ruins,
And I will set it up;
17 So that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord,
Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name,
Says the [b]Lord who does all these things.’
