RE: The translation that is found on the Vatican website is the New American Standard Bible.

I find it interesting that the Vatican prefers to use a Bible translated by scholars from a variety of denominational backgrounds (non-Catholic) instead of one translated by Roman Catholics.

Here are a list of the NASB’s translators:

MOST OF THEM ARE EVANGELICAL SCHOLARS.

The NASB is a project of the LOCKMAN FOUNDATION.

Dr. Samuel H. Sutherland (1900- ), President Emeritus of Biola University (an Evangelical School), is President of The Lockman Foundation.

Maybe you might want to ask these translators if they recognize Peter as the first Pope or the Bishop of Rome as having jurisdictional authority over the church they attend...

Sorry - I misspoke. The Bible found on the Vatican site is the New American Bible, not the New American Standard. It translates Acts 15:19 as follows

"It is my judgment, therefore, that we ought to stop troubling the Gentiles who turn to God" Peace be with you.
