Acts 11:2-17
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?
