Context — The Jerusalem Councilgenerated
Acts 15:10 occurs during a pivotal moment in the early church where leaders gather to address the question of whether Gentile converts should follow Jewish laws. Peter emphasizes that imposing such requirements would be a burden that neither they nor their ancestors could bear. This reflects the broader theme of grace and the challenges of integrating diverse beliefs within the church, as seen in the discussions leading up to this moment.

The Key Word — ζυγὸν, zugosgenerated
The word ζυγός (i.e., *zugos*) means yoke, which is a wooden beam used to connect two animals for pulling a load. In this context, it symbolizes the burdensome requirements of the law that the apostles argue are not necessary for salvation.
Peter's use of ζυγὸν highlights the weight of legalistic expectations placed on believers, contrasting the freedom offered through faith in Christ. This metaphor serves to illustrate the difference between the heavy yoke of the law and the light burden of grace.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as yoke, which is consistent across most translations, including the KJV, ASV, and WEB.
However, the BBE uses burden, emphasizing the heaviness of the yoke, while the NETB opts for ancestors instead of fathers, showing a slight variation in how the lineage is referenced.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the sentence is πειράζετε, are you testing, which governs the entire clause. The structure includes a direct question about the action of testing God, followed by a prepositional phrase that describes the burden placed on the disciples.
The sentence is complex, with multiple clauses and phrases that elaborate on the subject's actions and the objects of those actions, particularly the ζυγὸν and its implications.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ζυγός appears in the Septuagint, where it translates the Hebrew word for yoke, עֹל, which also means burden. This connection emphasizes the continuity of the concept of burdensome laws from the Old Testament to the New.
The usage in the LXX reflects the same metaphorical significance as in the New Testament, where it denotes both physical and spiritual burdens.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Acts 15:10 shows Peter asking why the apostles would test God by placing a heavy burden on the disciples. He points out that neither they nor their ancestors could bear such a yoke, highlighting the importance of grace over legalistic requirements.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Peter is questioning the act of imposing unnecessary laws on Gentile believers, suggesting that it goes against God's grace and intention for salvation.
The yoke symbolizes the burdensome requirements of the Jewish law, which Peter argues should not be placed on new believers who are saved by grace.
By mentioning their fathers, Peter emphasizes that even the ancestors of the Jewish people struggled under the law, highlighting the impossibility of fulfilling its demands.
This verse encapsulates the early church's struggle to understand the balance between faith and works, reinforcing that salvation comes through grace, not adherence to the law.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what ways do I feel burdened by expectations in my faith?
- How can I extend grace to others who may feel overwhelmed by religious rules?
- What does it mean for me to live in the freedom that Christ provides?
- How can I help others understand the difference between grace and legalism?
The early church on this verse — how the Fathers read it
Early church writers like Tertullian and Lactantius reference this verse to discuss the burdens of the law and the grace found in Christ, arguing against legalism and for faith.

For it is the "burdens" of the law which were "until John," not the remedial virtues. It is the "yokes" of "works" that have been rejected, not those of disciplines. "Liberty in Christ" has done no injury to innocence.Early Church Fathers on Acts 15 →

Nothing but defeat and condemnation could be the issue of such a trial.

They reproduced our Lord’s own language as to the “heavy burdens” of the Pharisaic traditions (Matthew 23:4) and His own “easy yoke” (Matthew 11:30).

νῦν is an adverb meaning 'now,' indicating the present time as opposed to the past or future. It can also refer to the immediate past or future. The New Testament uses it frequently, including in John 11:8 and Romans 13:11. Abbott-Smith notes its use in logical sequences, while Liddell-Scott-Jones highlights its dialectal variations and broader applications.

The Greek word οὖν (oun) is a particle used to express consequence, sequence, or to resume a narrative. It translates to 'therefore,' 'then,' or 'accordingly,' and appears frequently in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 3:10 and Romans 5:9. It can also serve in exhortations and questions, indicating what follows logically from previous statements.

τίς is an interrogative pronoun meaning 'who,' 'which,' or 'what,' used in both direct and indirect questions. It can function as a substantive, adjective, or adverb, appearing in various contexts throughout the New Testament, such as in Matthew 3:7 and John 18:23. The neuter form τί also means 'what' or 'which.' There are instances where τίς may be used interchangeably with other pronouns like ποῖος.

πειράζω (peirazō) means to test or attempt, often with the implication of proving something's quality or character. It can refer to both positive trials, such as those permitted by God, and negative temptations, such as attempts to lead someone into sin. The New Testament uses it in contexts like testing faith (1 Cor. 10:13) and the temptations of Jesus (Mt. 4:1). The term is closely related to δοκιμάζω (dokímazō), but they are not synonymous.
THESE words occur not seldom together, as at 2 Cor. xiii. 5; Ps. xciv. 10 (at Heb. iii. 9 the better reading is ἐν δοκιμασίᾳ) ; but notwithstanding that they are both in our English Version rendered ‘ prove’ (Luke xiv. 19; John vi. 6), both ‘try’ (1 Cor. iii. 18; Rev. ii. 2), both ‘examine’ (1 Cor. xi. 28 ; 2 Cor. xiii. 5), they are not perfectly synonymous. In δοκιpatew, which has four other renderings in our Version,— namely, ‘discern’ (Luke xii. 56); ‘like’ (Rom. i. 28); ‘approve’ (Rom. ii. 18); ‘allow’ (Rom. xiv. 22),—lies ever the notion of proving a thing whether it be worthy to be received or not, being, as it is, nearly connected with δέχεσθαι. In classical Greek it is the technical word for putting money to the δοκιμή or proof, by aid of the δοκίμιον or test (Plato, Timeus, 65 c; Plutarch, Def. Orac. 21) ; that which endures this proof being δόκιμος, that which fails ἀδόκιμος…

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

θεός (theos) means 'God' or 'a god' and is used in both singular and plural forms. It refers to the supreme deity in monotheistic contexts, as well as to lesser deities in polytheistic settings. The New Testament frequently employs this term, notably in verses like Matthew 27:46 and Acts 19:37. Some lexicons note its use as a title for rulers or magistrates, reflecting its broader application in ancient texts.

The same practice is still more strikingly illustrated in the Imperial period, as when in an inscr. from the Fayum district, dated March 17th, B.c. 24, Augustus is described as θεὸς ἐκ θεοῦ (OG/S 6557), or as when a votive inscr. is addressed to Nero—daya0a(t) θεῶ(ι) (Cos 927): see Deissmann 7s. p. 349.

God
(A.S. and Dutch God; Dan. Gud; Ger. Gott), the name of the Divine Being. It is the rendering (1) of the Hebrew ’El, from a word meaning to be strong; (2) of ’Eloah_, plural _’Elohim. The singular form, Eloah, is used only in poetry. The plural form is more commonly used in all parts of the Bible, The Hebrew word Jehovah (q.v.), the only other word generally employed to denote the Supreme Being, is uniformly rendered in the Authorized Version by “LORD,” printed in small capitals. The existence of God is taken for granted in the Bible. There is nowhere any argument to prove it. He who disbelieves this truth is spoken of as one devoid of understanding (Ps. 14:1).
The arguments generally adduced by theologians in proof of the being of God are:
(1.) The a priori argument, which is the testimony afforded by reason.
(good). Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures two chief names are used for the one true divine Being--ELOHIM, commonly translated God in our version, and JEHOVAH, translated Lord . Elohim is the plural of Eloah (in Arabic Allah); it is often used in the short form EL (a word signifying strength , as in EL-SHADDAI, God Almighty, the name by which God was specially known to the patriarchs. (Genesis 17:1; 28:3; Exodus 6:3) The etymology is uncertain, but it is generally agreed that the primary idea is that of strength, power of effect , and that it properly describes God in that character in which he is exhibited to all men in his works, as the creator, sustainer and supreme governor of the world. The plural form of Elohim has given rise to much discussion. The fanciful idea that it…
This name, the derivation of which is uncertain, we give to that eternal, infinite, perfect, and incomprehensible Being, the Creator of all things, who preserves and governs all by his almighty power and wisdom, and is the only proper object of worship. The proper Hebrew name for God is JEHOVAH, which signifies He is. But the Jews, from a feeling of reverence, avoid pronouncing this name, substituting for it, wherever it occurs in the sacred test, the word ADONAI, Lord; except in the expression, ADONAI JEHOVAH, Lord Jehovah, for which they put, ADONAI ELOHIM, Lord God. This usage, which is not without an element of superstition, is very ancient, dating its origin some centuries before Christ; but there is no good ground for assuming its existence in the days of the inspired Old Testament writers. The proper word for God is ELOHIM, which is plural in its form, being thus used to signify…

The Greek word ἐπιτίθημι (i.e., *epitithēmi*) means to lay, set, or place upon something. It can also imply adding to, imposing, or inflicting, and is used in various contexts, such as laying hands on someone or imposing a penalty. In the New Testament, it appears in verses like Matthew 9:18 and Revelation 22:18. The word is built from the prefix ἐπι- and the root τίθημι.

put (puT; Phoud, in Genesis and Chronicles, variant for Genesis Phout, for Chronicles, Phouth):
1. Renderings:
In consequence of the identification at the time, the prophets have "Libya" (Libues), except Nab 3:9, where the Greek renders the word as phuge, "flight." The Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) has "Phut," "Phuth," and in the Prophets "Libyes" and "Libya"; the King James Version "Phut."
2. Son of Ham:
In the "Table of Nations" Put is the third son of Ham (Ge 10:6), the first and second being Cush and Misraim, and the fourth Canaan. Put is the only one of the sons of Ham who is not credited with descendants.

ζυγός (zugos) means yoke, often used metaphorically to signify bondage or submission to authority, as seen in Matthew 11:29-30 and Galatians 5:1. It can also refer to a balance or scales, as in Revelation 6:5. The word is derived from the root meaning to join, reflecting its literal and figurative uses.
ζυγός, -ov, ὁ, for which in Grk. writ. before Polyb. τὸ ζυγόν was more com., (fr. Cevyrupt) ; 1. a yoke; a. prop. such as is put on draught-cattle. b. metaph. used of any burden or bondage: as that of slavery, 1 Tim. vi. 1 (Lev. xxvi. 13), δουλείας, Gal. ν. 1 (Soph. Ai. 944; δουλοσύνης, Dem. 322, 12); of troublesome laws imposed on one, esp. of the Mosaic law, Acts xv. 10; Gal. ν. 1; hence the name is so transferred to the commands of Christ as to contrast them with the commands of the Pharisees which were a veritable ‘yoke’; yet even Christ’s commands must be submitted to, though easier to be kept : Mt. xi. 29 sq. (less aptly in Clem. Rom. 1 Cor. 16, 17 Christians are called οἱ ὑπὸ τὸν ζυγὸν τῆς χάριτος ἐλθόντες [ εἴ.

The Greek in Apocrypha (Sirach 28:19, etc.) and in the New Testament (Mt 11:29 f, etc.) is invariably zugos. Egyptian monuments show a yoke that consisted of a straight bar fastened to the foreheads of the cattle at the root of the horns, and such yokes were no doubt used in Palestine also; but the more usual form was one that rested on the neck (Ge 27:40, etc.).

The Greek word ἐπί (epi) is a preposition that indicates a relationship of superposition, often translated as 'on,' 'upon,' or 'over.' It can govern the genitive, dative, or accusative cases, covering meanings related to place, time, authority, and various figurative uses. In the New Testament, it frequently appears with the accusative case, especially in contexts of motion or direction, such as in Matthew 14:28.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.

The Greek word τράχηλος (trachelos) means 'neck' and can refer to both the physical neck and metaphorically to life or danger. It appears in several New Testament verses, including Matthew 18:6 and Romans 16:4, where it conveys the idea of risking one's life. The term is also used in various contexts in classical literature, distinguishing it from similar words.

Neck
Used sometimes figuratively. To “lay down the neck” (Rom. 16:4) is to hazard one’s life. Threatenings of coming judgments are represented by the prophets by their laying bands upon the people’s necks (Deut. 28:48; Isa. 10:27; Jer. 27:2). Conquerors put their feet on the necks of their enemies as a sign of their subjection (Josh. 10:24; 2 Sam. 22:41).
The phrases to "harden the neck," Pr 29:1, and to be "stiff- necked," like a headstrong brute, illustrate the willful obstinacy of sinners against the instructions and commands of God. The tyrants of ancient days sometimes put their feet on the prostrate necks of princes, in token of their subjugation, trampling them in the dust. Their mischief sometimes returned upon their own heads, Jos 10:24; Ps 18:40.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

The Greek word μαθητής (i.e., *mathetes*) means a learner or disciple, derived from the verb for learning, μανθάνω (*manthanō*). It refers primarily to a follower of a teacher, especially in the context of Jesus and his twelve apostles, but also applies to early Christians generally. The term appears frequently in the New Testament, notably in Matthew and Acts.

ὅς is a pronoun meaning 'who,' 'which,' 'what,' or 'that.' It serves as both a demonstrative and a relative pronoun, agreeing in gender with its antecedent. The New Testament uses it in various constructions, including phrases like ὃς μὲν... ὃς δέ to indicate contrasting subjects. Notably, it can express purpose or cause in certain contexts.

The Greek word οὔτε (i.e., *oute*) is a negative particle meaning 'neither' or 'nor.' It is often used to connect negative clauses, as in 'neither... nor...' and can appear in various forms, such as οὐ... οὔτε. The New Testament uses it in several verses, including Galatians 1:12 and Revelation 5:4.
οὔτε, (ov and τέ), an adjunctive negative conj., [fr. Hom. down], (differing fr. μήτε as οὐ does fr. μή [q. v. ad init.], and fr. οὐδέ as μήτε does fr. μηδέ; see pyre and οὐδέ), neither; and not. 1. Examples in which οὔτε stands singly : a. οὐ... οὔτε, Rev. xii. 8 Rec. (where GL T Tr WH οὐδέ); xx. 4 RG (where L T Tr WH οὐδέν ; οὐδεὶς ἄξιος εὑρέθη ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό, Rev. ν. 4; cf.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

πατήρ (patēr) means 'father' and can refer to a male parent, an ancestor, or even a metaphorical originator. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often in relation to God as the Father of believers, as well as in the context of respect for elders or teachers. The term can also denote a broader familial or ancestral connection, as seen in references to forefathers.

The Greek word οὔτε (i.e., *oute*) is a negative particle meaning 'neither' or 'nor.' It is often used to connect negative clauses, as in 'neither... nor...' and can appear in various forms, such as οὐ... οὔτε. The New Testament uses it in several verses, including Galatians 1:12 and Revelation 5:4.
οὔτε, (ov and τέ), an adjunctive negative conj., [fr. Hom. down], (differing fr. μήτε as οὐ does fr. μή [q. v. ad init.], and fr. οὐδέ as μήτε does fr. μηδέ; see pyre and οὐδέ), neither; and not. 1. Examples in which οὔτε stands singly : a. οὐ... οὔτε, Rev. xii. 8 Rec. (where GL T Tr WH οὐδέ); xx. 4 RG (where L T Tr WH οὐδέν ; οὐδεὶς ἄξιος εὑρέθη ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό, Rev. ν. 4; cf.

The Greek word ἰσχύω (ischuō) is built from the root ἰσχύς and generally means to be strong or powerful. It covers a range of meanings including being strong in body, having power, prevailing, and being serviceable. The New Testament uses it in various contexts, such as in Matthew 9:12 and Acts 19:20. There is a note on its use in the Septuagint for Hebrew words meaning strength.

a'-b'-l: The Greek dunamai, "to have power," may refer either to inherent strength, or to the absence of in external obstacles, or to what may be allowable or permitted. The Greek ischuo, as in Lu 13:24; Joh 21:6, refers always to the first of the above meanings. The use of the word as an adjective the King James Version of 2Co 3:6, is misleading, and has been properly changed in the Revised Version (British and American) into "sufficient as ministers," i.e. "hath fitted us to be ministers."

βαστάζω, transliterated as bastazō, means to lift or carry, both literally and metaphorically. It encompasses actions like bearing burdens, enduring hardships, and even taking away or stealing. The New Testament uses it in various contexts, such as carrying a cross (John 19:17) and bearing with others (Galatians 6:2). The lexicons indicate a range of meanings, but they do not present significant disagreement.
βαστάζω; fut. βαστάσω; laor.¢€Bacraca; 1. to take up with the hands: λίθους, Jn. x. 31, (λᾶαν, Hom. Od. 11, 594; τὴν μάχαιραν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, Joseph. antt. 7, 11, 7). 2. to take up in order to carry or bear; to put upon one’s self (something) to be carried; to bear what is burdensome: τὸν σταυρόν, Jn. xix.17; Lk. xiv. 27, (see orarrds Batos 2a. and b.); Metaph.: βαστάζειν τι, to be equal to understanding a matter and receiving it calmly, Jn. xvi. 12 (Epict. ench. 29,5); φορτίον, Gal. vi. 5; βαστάσει τὸ κρίμα, must take upon himself the condemnation of the judge, Gal. v. 10 (9 Nw, Mic. vii. 9). Hence to bear, endure: Mt. xx. 12; Acts xv. 10 (ζυγόν); Ro. xv.1; Gal. vi. 2; Rev. 11. 2588.

The papyrus contains a spell in which the words occur βαστάζω τὴν ταφὴν τοῦ ᾿Οσίρεως . . . ἐάν μοι ὁ δεῖνα κόπους παράσχῃ, προσ(τ)ρέψω αὐτὴν αὐτῷ, “1 carry the corpse of Osiris. . . should so-and-so trouble me, I shall use it against him.” Just, that is, as the βαστάζειν of a particular amulet associated with the god acts as a charm against the κόπους παρέχειν of an adversary, so the Apostle finds…

bar (dobh; compare Arabic dubb): In 1Sa 17:34-37, David tells Saul how as a shepherd boy he had overcome a lion and a bear. In 2Ki 2:24 it is related that two she bears came out of the wood and tore forty-two of the children who had been mocking Elisha. All the other references to bears are figurative; compare 2Sa 17:8; Pr 17:12; 28:15; Isa 11:7; 59:11; La 3:10; Da 7:5; Ho 13:8; Am 5:19;
Bear
A native of the mountain regions of Western Asia, frequently mentioned in Scripture. David defended his flocks against the attacks of a bear (1 Sam. 17:34-37). Bears came out of the wood and destroyed the children who mocked the prophet Elisha (2 Kings 2:24). Their habits are referred to in Isa. 59:11; Prov. 28:15; Lam. 3:10. The fury of the female bear when robbed of her young is spoken of (2 Sam. 17:8; Prov. 17:12; Hos. 13:8). In Daniel’s vision of the…
(1 Samuel 17:34; 2 Samuel 17:8) The Syrian bear, Ursus syriacus, which is without doubt the animal mentioned in the Bible, is still found on the higher mountains of Palestine. During the summer months these bears keep to the snowy parts of Lebanon, but descend in winter to the villages and Gardens. It is probable also that at this period in former days they extended their visits to other parts of Palestine.
That bears were common in Palestine appears from several passages in the Old Testament, 1Sa 17:34,36,37; 2Sa 17:8; 2Ki 2:24. The species known in Syria resembles the common brown bear; it is sill met in the recesses of Lebanon. To a sullen and ferocious disposition, the bear joins immense strength, considerable sagacity, and the power of climbing trees. Her ferocity, especially when her young are injured, is proverbial. See 2Sa 17:8; Pr 17:12; Isa 11:7; Ho 13:8.
