AC-11:1 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard
that the
Gentiles had also received the word of God.
AC-11:2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were
of the
circumcision contended with him,
AC-11:3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst
eat with them.
AC-11:4 But Peter rehearsed [the matter] from the beginning,
and expounded
[it] by order unto them, saying,
AC-11:5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I
saw a vision, A
certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down
from heaven by
four corners; and it came even to me:
AC-11:6 Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I
considered, and saw
fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping
things, and fowls
of the air.
AC-11:7 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay
and eat.
AC-11:8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean
hath at any
time entered into my mouth.
AC-11:9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God
hath cleansed,
[that] call not thou common.
AC-11:10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up
again into
heaven.
AC-11:11 And, behold, immediately there were three men already
come unto the
house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.
AC-11:12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting.
Moreover these
six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:
AC-11:13 And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house,
which stood
and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose
surname is
Peter;
AC-11:14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy
house shall be
saved.
AC-11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them,
as on us at the
beginning.
AC-11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he
said, John indeed
baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy
Ghost.
AC-11:17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as [he
did] unto us,
who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could
withstand God?
AC-11:18 When they heard these things, they held their peace,
and glorified
God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted
repentance unto life.
AC-11:19 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the
persecution that arose
about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and
Antioch, preaching
the word to none but unto the Jews only.
AC-11:20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which,
when they were
come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord
Jesus.
AC-11:21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great
