# General Information:

# Connecting Statement:
|
|

Peter finishes speaking to the apostles and elders.
|

|
|
# Now
|
|
|
|
This does not mean "at this moment," but is used to draw attention to the important point that follows.
|
|
|
|
# why do you test God, that you should put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
|
|
|
|
Peter uses a question with a word picture to tell the Jewish believers they should not require the non-Jewish believers to perform circumcision to be saved. Alternate translation: "Do not test God by putting a burden on the non-Jewish believers which we Jews were not able to bear!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
