Acts 11:1-18

1NowG1161 the apostlesG652 and 1the brethrenG80 who were throughoutG2596 JudeaG2453 heardG191 that the GentilesG1484 alsoG2532 had receivedG1209 the wordG3056 of GodG2316. 2And whenG3753 PeterG4074 cameG305 up to JerusalemG2419, 23thoseG3588 who were circumcisedG4061 tookG1252 issueG1252 with him, 3sayingG3004, “4You 5wentG1525 to uncircumcisedG203 menG435 and ateG4906 with them.” 4But PeterG4074 beganG757 speaking 6and proceeded to explainG1620 to them 7in orderlyG2517 sequenceG2517, sayingG3004, 5“8I was in the cityG4172 of JoppaG2445 prayingG4336; and in a tranceG1611 I sawG3708 9a visionG3705, an 10objectG4632 comingG2597 downG2597 likeG5613 a greatG3173 sheetG3607 loweredG2524 by fourG5064 cornersG746 from 11the skyG3772; and it cameG2064 rightG891 down to me, 6and when I had fixedG816 my gazeG816 on it and was observingG2657 it 12I sawG3708 the four-footedG5074 animalsG5074 of the earthG1093 and the wildG2342 beastsG2342 and the 13crawlingG2062 creaturesG2062 and the birdsG4071 of the 14airG3772. 7I alsoG2532 heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 to me, ‘GetG450 up, PeterG4074; 15killG2380 and eatG2068.’ 8But I saidG3004, ‘By noG3365 meansG3365, LordG2962, for nothingG3763 16unholyG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169 has everG3763 enteredG1525 my mouthG4750.’ 9But a voiceG5456 from heavenG3772 answeredG611 a secondG1208 timeG1208, ‘17WhatG3739 GodG2316 has cleansedG2511, noG3361 longer 18considerG2840 unholyG2839.’ 10ThisG3778 happenedG1096 threeG5151 timesG5151, and everythingG537 was drawnG385 backG3825 up into 19the skyG3772. 11And beholdG2400, at that momentG1824 threeG5140 menG435 appearedG2186 at the houseG3614 in whichG3739 we were staying, having been sentG649 to me from 20CaesareaG2542. 1221The SpiritG4151 toldG3004 me to goG4905 with them 2223withoutG3367 misgivingsG1252. 24TheseG3778 sixG1803 brethrenG80 alsoG2532 wentG2064 with me and we enteredG1525 the man’sG435 houseG3624. 13And he reportedG518 to us howG4459 he had seenG3708 the angelG32 25standingG2476 in his houseG3624, and sayingG3004, ‘SendG649 to JoppaG2445 and have SimonG4613, who is also calledG1941 PeterG4074, broughtG3343 hereG3343; 14and he will speakG2980 26wordsG4487 to you by whichG3739 you will be savedG4982, you and 27allG3956 your householdG3624.’ 15And as I beganG757 to speakG2980, 28the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 fellG1968 upon them justG5618 29as He did upon us at the beginningG746. 16And I rememberedG3403 the wordG4487 of the LordG2962, howG5613 He used to sayG3004, ‘30JohnG2491 baptizedG907 with waterG5204, but you will be baptizedG907 31with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.’ 17ThereforeG3767 ifG1487 32GodG2316 gaveG1325 to them the sameG2470 giftG1431 as He gave to us alsoG2532 after believingG4100 in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 33whoG5101 was I that I couldG1415 34standG2967 in God’sG2316 wayG2967?” 18When they heardG191 thisG3778, they 35quietedG2270 downG2270 and 36glorifiedG1392 GodG2316, sayingG3004, “WellG686 thenG686, GodG2316 has grantedG1325 to the GentilesG1484 alsoG2532 the 37repentanceG3341 that leads to lifeG2222.”
