Commentary on Acts 15:14
James uses Peter's Hebrew name 'Simeon,' emphasizing continuity with Jewish faith while acknowledging Gentile inclusion. He summarizes Peter's account of God's visitation to 'take out of them a people for his name.' The Greek 'laos' (people) - previously reserved for Israel - now includes Gentiles. This demonstrates that the church, not ethnic Israel, is God's chosen people in the New Covenant.
