Acts 11:1-10

1TheG3588 apostlesG652 andG2532 brothersG80 throughoutG1510G2596 JudeaG2449 soonG1161 heardG191 thatG3754 theG3588 GentilesG1484 alsoG2532 had receivedG1209 theG3588 wordG3056 of GodG2316. 2So whenG3753 PeterG4074 went upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, the circumcisedG3588G1537G4061 believers1 took issueG1252 withG4314 himG846 3and saidG3004, “You visitedG1525G4314 uncircumcisedG2192G203 menG435 andG2532 ate withG4906 themG846.”

4ButG1161 PeterG4074 beganG756 and explainedG1620 to themG846 the whole sequence of eventsG2517: 5“IG1473 wasG1510 inG1722 the cityG4172 of JoppaG2445 prayingG4336, andG2532 inG1722 a tranceG1611 I sawG3708 a visionG3705 of somethingG5100G4632 likeG5613 a largeG3173 sheetG3607 being let downG2597G2524 fromG1537 heavenG3772 by its fourG5064 cornersG746, andG2532 it came right down toG2064G891 meG1473. 6I lookedG816 atG1519 it closelyG3739 and sawG2657G2532G3708 four-footed animalsG5074 of theG3588 earthG1093, wild beastsG2342, reptilesG2062, andG2532 birdsG4071 of theG3588 airG3772. 7ThenG1161G2532 I heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 to meG1473, ‘Get upG450, PeterG4074, killG2380 andG2532 eatG5315.’

8‘NoG3365, LordG2962,’ I saidG2036, ‘forG3754 nothingG3763 impureG28392 orG2228 uncleanG169 has ever enteredG1525G1519 myG1473 mouthG4750.’

9ButG1161 the voiceG5456 spokeG611 fromG1537 heavenG3772 a secondG1208 time, ‘Do not call anything impureG3361G2840 thatG3739 GodG2316 has made cleanG2511.’

10

ThisG3778 happenedG1096 three timesG5151, andG2532 everythingG537 was drawn back upG385G3825 intoG1519 heavenG3772.
