Acts 15:6
Ver. 6. And the apostles and elders came together,.... And also the brethren, or private members of the church, even the whole church, as appears from Ac 15:22. Whether all the apostles were here present, is not certain; Peter, James, and John were; but who else, cannot be said: these met together
for to consider of this matter; to hear what was to be said on both sides of the question, and then to judge what advice was proper to be given to the Gentiles.
