Acts 15:14

Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

Simeon - a Hebrew variation of "Simon" (as in , Gr.), the Jewish and family name of Peter, here perhaps used at the outset of his address (as a Hebrew addressing Hebrews) to propitiate the Jewish zealots;

Hath declared how God at the first - answering to Peter's "good while ago" (),

Did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them - in the exercise of His adorable sovereignty,

A people for (the honour of) his name - or to show forth His praise.
