⁵⁵ Isn’t this the carpenter’s son?^(A) Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James,^(B) Joseph,^[a] Simon, and Judas?^(C)

³ Isn’t this the carpenter,^(A) the son of Mary,^(B) and the brother of James,^(C) Joses, Judas,^(D) and Simon? And aren’t his sisters here with us?” So they were offended^(E) by him.

¹⁷ Motioning to them with his hand^(A) to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. “Tell these things to James^(B) and the brothers,” he said, and he left and went to another place.

¹³ After they stopped speaking, James responded, “Brothers, listen to me.

¹⁸ The following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.^(A)

¹⁹ But I didn’t see any of the other apostles except James,^(A) the Lord’s brother.

⁹ When James,^(A) Cephas,^[a](B) and John^(C)—those recognized as pillars^(D)—acknowledged the grace that had been given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to me and Barnabas, agreeing that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

¹² For he regularly ate with the Gentiles before certain men came from James. However, when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, because he feared those from the circumcision party.

Greeting

¹ Jude,^(A) a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James:

To those who are the called,^(B) loved^[a](C) by God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ.^(D)
