ACTS 15:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.”
Simon has described to us how God first intervened to take from the Gentiles a people for his own name — James refers to Peter as Simon, using his Hebrew name, and summarizes Peter's argument: God's initiative (episkeptomai, to visit, care for) established a gentile people for God's name. The phrase for his own name (tō onomati autou) emphasizes God's glory and reputation as the motive.
