# Connecting Statement:

James finishes speaking to the apostles and elders. (See: [Acts 15:2](../15/02.md) and [Acts 15:13](./13.md))

# Moses has been proclaimed in every city ... and he is preached in the synagogues every Sabbath
|
|
|
|
James is implying that Gentiles know how important these rules are because Jews preach them in every city where there is a synagogue. It also implies the Gentiles can go to the teachers from the synagogues to learn more about these rules. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# Moses has been proclaimed ... he is preached
|

Here "Moses" represents the law of Moses, and so does "he." This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "The law of Moses has been proclaimed ... the law is read" or "Jews have taught the law of Moses ... they read the law" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

# in every city

|
|
|
The word "every" here is a generalization. Alternate translation: "in many cities" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole]])
