Chapter 11

1


 

  And the apostles and the brethren who are in Judea heard that also the nations did receive the word of God,  

 

 

-

2


 

  and when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision were contending with him,  

 

 

-

3


 

  saying -- 'Unto men uncircumcised thou didst go in, and didst eat with them!'  

 

 

-

4


 

  And Peter having begun, did expound to them in order saying,  

 

 

-

5


 

  'I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by four corners being let down out of the heaven, and it came unto me;  

 

 

-

6


 

  at which having looked stedfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of heaven;  

 

 

-

7


 

  and I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, slay and eat;  

 

 

-

8


 

  and I said, Not so, Lord; because anything common or unclean hath at no time entered into my mouth;  

 

 

-

9


 

  and a voice did answer me a second time out of the heaven, What God did cleanse, thou -- declare not thou common.  

 

 

-

10


 

  'And this happened thrice, and again was all drawn up to the heaven,  

 

 

-

11


 

  and, lo, immediately, three men stood at the house in which I was, having been sent from Cesarea unto me,  

 

 

-

12


 

  and the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting, and these six brethren also went with me, and we did enter into the house of the man,  

 

 

-

13


 

  he declared also to us how he saw the messenger in his house standing, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter,  

 

 

-

14


 

  who shall speak sayings by which thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.  

 

 

-

15


 

  'And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit did fall upon them, even as also upon us in the beginning,  

 

 

-

16


 

  and I remembered the saying of the Lord, how he said, John indeed did baptize with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit;  

 

 

-

17


 

  if then the equal gift God did give to them as also to us, having believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I -- how was I able to withstand God?'  

 

 

-

18


 

  And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, 'Then, indeed, also to the nations did God give the reformation to life.'  

 

 

-

19


 

  Those, indeed, therefore, having been scattered abroad, from the tribulation that came after Stephen, went through unto Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none except to Jews only;  

 

 

-

20


 

  and there were certain of them men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having entered into Antioch, were speaking unto the Hellenists, proclaiming good news -- the Lord Jesus,  

 

 

-

21


 

  and the hand of the Lord was with them, a great number also, having believed, did turn unto the Lord.

22


 

  And the account was heard in the ears of the assembly that [is] in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go through unto Antioch,  

 

 

-

23


 

  who, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave to the Lord,  

 

 

-

24

  And in those days there came from Jerusalem prophets to Antioch,  

 

 

-

28

-

29


 

  and the disciples, according as any one was prospering, determined each of them to send for ministration to the brethren dwelling in Judea,  

 

 

-

30


 

  which also they did, having sent unto the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
