  1. May 10, 2013 · The “words of the prophets,” James says, “agree” with this (Acts 15:15). The quotation is not an exact reproduction of the LXX as we know it (neither is it an exact translation of the Hebrew in Amos 9:11-12). Rather, James–as Luke records it–may conflate several prophets in order to focus his point. Glenny suggests that Acts 15:16 ...
