Jeruzsálem Tanács

The Jerusalem Council gathers apostles, elders, and Jewish believers inside a stone hall as a leading apostolic spokesman addresses the assembly from a central stand. Robed listeners crowd around him in attentive debate, while seated elders weigh the matter with gravity. The setting portrays the decisive meeting in Acts 15, when the early church considered whether Gentile converts must be circumcised and placed under the full yoke of the Mosaic Law.

The scene reflects a foundational moment of Christian unity and doctrine: salvation is received through the grace of the Lord Jesus, not by ethnic boundary markers or ceremonial law. The council’s judgment opened the door for Gentile believers to be welcomed into the covenant community without becoming Jewish proselytes, while still calling them to holiness and fellowship with Jewish believers.
