Paul, in which subjects of the deepest importance are referred to the whole body of the Ecclesia to search out and judge the utterances of truth. 102 . THE. PRIESTHOOD OF THE LAITY St. James, brother of our Lord, and men- tioned by Eusebius as first Bishop of Jerusalem, took part in this debate. The very exceptional nature of the conference and its early date lead us to believe that his position was that of an honoured counsellor. Alford says : " There does not seem to be in St. James's speech ...any decision ex cathedra either in the c hear me ' (aKovcrare /xou) at the beginning or in the ' I judge ' (eyo> Kpiva>). The decision lay in the weightiness, partly of the person speaking, but principally of the matter spoken by him. St. James was the representative of the strictest adherence to the pure standard of legal morality. He, as guardian of the traditions of the house of Israel, cast his influential vote on the side of liberty. His opinion was specially valued in this discussion. The sense of ey&> Kpiva> is, 6 This is my vote ; I for my part thus judge (sic censeo)/ When his judgment, as well as that of Peter, was given in favour of the freedom of the Gentiles, the disputers even of the Pharisaical party are silenced.
