Acts 11

1NowG1161 the apostlesG652 and the brethren that wereG1510 in Judæa heardG191 that the GentilesG1484 alsoG2532 had receivedG1209 the wordG3056 of GodG2316. 2And whenG3753 PeterG4074 was comeG305 up to JerusalemG2419, they that were of the circumcisionG4061 contended with him, 3sayingG3004, Thou wentest in to menG435 uncircumcised, and didst eat with them. 4But PeterG4074 beganG757, and expounded the matter unto them in order, sayingG3004, 5I wasG1510 in the cityG4172 of JoppaG2445 prayingG4336: and in a tranceG1611 I sawG3708 a visionG3705, a certainG5100 vesselG4632 descendingG2597, as it wereG1510 a greatG3173 sheetG3607 let down from heavenG3772 by fourG5064 cornersG746; and it cameG2064 evenG2532 unto me: 6upon which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and sawG3708 the fourfooted beastsG2342 of the earthG1093 and wildG2342 beastsG2342 and creeping thingsG3739 and birdsG4071 of the heavenG3772. 7And I heardG191 alsoG2532 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 unto me, RiseG450, PeterG4074; killG2380 and eatG2068. 8But I saidG3004, Not so, LordG2962: for nothing commonG2839 or uncleanG169 hath ever enteredG1525 into my mouthG4750. 9But a voiceG5456 answeredG611 the secondG1208 timeG1208 out of heavenG3772, What GodG2316 hath cleansedG2511, make not thou common. 10And this was done thrice: and all were drawn up againG3825 into heavenG3772. 11And beholdG2400, forthwith threeG5140 menG435 stood before the houseG3614 in which we wereG1510, having beenG1510 sentG649 from Cæsarea unto me. 12And the SpiritG4151 bade me goG1525 with them, making no distinction. And these sixG1803 brethren alsoG2532 accompanied me; and we enteredG1525 into the man’sG435 houseG3624: 13and he toldG3004 us howG4459 he had seenG3708 the angelG32 standingG2476 in his houseG3624, and sayingG3004, SendG649 to JoppaG2445, and fetch SimonG4613, whose surname is PeterG4074; 14who shall speakG2980 unto thee words, whereby thou shalt be savedG4982, thou and all thy houseG3624. 15And as I beganG757 to speakG2980, the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 fell on them, evenG2532 as on us at the beginning. 16And I rememberedG3403 the word of the LordG2962, howG5613 he saidG3004, JohnG2491 indeedG3303 baptizedG907 with waterG5204; but ye shall be baptizedG907 in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 17If then GodG2316 gaveG1325 unto them the likeG5613 giftG1431 as he did alsoG2532 unto us, whenG5613 we believedG4100 on the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, who wasG1510 I, that I could withstand GodG2316? 18And when they heardG191 these thingsG3778, they held their peace, and glorifiedG1392 GodG2316, sayingG3004, Then to the GentilesG1484 alsoG2532 hath GodG2316 grantedG1325 repentanceG3341 unto lifeG2222.

19They thereforeG3767 that were scatteredG1289 abroad upon the tribulationG2347 that aroseG1096 about StephenG4736 travelled as farG2193 as PhoeniciaG5403, and CyprusG2954, and AntiochG490, speakingG2980 the wordG3056 to none save onlyG3440 to JewsG2453. 20But there wereG1510 some of them, menG435 of Cyprus and CyreneG2956, who, when they wereG1510 comeG2064 to AntiochG490, spake unto the GreeksG1672 alsoG2532, preaching the LordG2962 JesusG2424. 21And the handG5495 of the LordG2962 wasG1510 with them: and a greatG4183 numberG706 that believedG4100 turnedG1994 unto the LordG2962. 22And the reportG3056 concerningG4012 them came to the earsG3775 of the churchG1577 which wasG1510 in JerusalemG2419: and they sent forthG1821 BarnabasG921 as farG2193 as AntiochG490: 23who, when he was comeG3854, and had seenG3708 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, was gladG5463; and he exhortedG3870 them all, that with purposeG4286 of heartG2588 they would cleave unto the LordG2962: 24for he wasG1510 a goodG18 manG435, and fullG4134 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and of faithG4102: and much peopleG3793 wasG1510 addedG4369 unto the LordG2962. 25And he wentG1831 forthG1831 to TarsusG5019 to seek for SaulG4569; 26and when he had foundG2147 him, he broughtG71 him unto AntiochG490. And it cameG1096 to passG1096, that evenG2532 for a wholeG3650 yearG1763 they were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 with the churchG1577, and taughtG1321 much peopleG3793; and that the disciplesG3101 were called ChristiansG5546 firstG4413 in AntiochG490.

27NowG1161 in these daysG2250 there cameG2718 downG2718 prophetsG4396 from JerusalemG2414 unto AntiochG490. 28And there stoodG450 up oneG1520 of them namedG3686 AgabusG13, and signified by the SpiritG4151 that there should beG1510 a greatG3173 famineG3042 over all the worldG3625: which cameG1096 to passG1096 in the days of ClaudiusG2804. 29And the disciplesG3101, every man according to his ability, determined to sendG3992 relief unto the brethren that dwelt in Judæa: 30which alsoG2532 they did, sendingG649 it to the eldersG4245 by the handG5495 of BarnabasG921 and SaulG4569.
