Acts 11:13-30

13And he reportedG518 to us howG4459 he had seenG3708 the angelG32 1standingG2476 in his houseG3624, and sayingG3004, ‘SendG649 to JoppaG2445 and have SimonG4613, who is also calledG1941 PeterG4074, broughtG3343 hereG3343; 14and he will speakG2980 2wordsG4487 to you by whichG3739 you will be savedG4982, you and 3allG3956 your householdG3624.’ 15And as I beganG757 to speakG2980, 4the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 fellG1968 upon them justG5618 5as He did upon us at the beginningG746. 16And I rememberedG3403 the wordG4487 of the LordG2962, howG5613 He used to sayG3004, ‘6JohnG2491 baptizedG907 with waterG5204, but you will be baptizedG907 7with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.’ 17ThereforeG3767 ifG1487 8GodG2316 gaveG1325 to them the sameG2470 giftG1431 as He gave to us alsoG2532 after believingG4100 in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 9whoG5101 was I that I couldG1415 10standG2967 in God’sG2316 wayG2967?” 18When they heardG191 thisG3778, they 11quietedG2270 downG2270 and 12glorifiedG1392 GodG2316, sayingG3004, “WellG686 thenG686, GodG2316 has grantedG1325 to the GentilesG1484 alsoG2532 the 13repentanceG3341 that leads to lifeG2222.”

1914SoG3767 thenG3767 thoseG3588 who were scatteredG1289 becauseG575 of the 15persecutionG2347 that occurredG1096 in connectionG1909 with StephenG4736 madeG1330 their wayG1330 16to 17PhoeniciaG5403 and 18CyprusG2954 and 19AntiochG490, speakingG2980 the wordG3056 to noG3367 oneG3367 exceptG1508 to JewsG2453 aloneG3441. 20But there were someG5100 of them, menG435 of 20CyprusG2953 and 21CyreneG2956, whoG3748 cameG2064 to 22AntiochG490 and began speakingG2980 to the 2324GreeksG1672 alsoG2532, 2526preachingG2097 the LordG2962 JesusG2424. 21And 27the handG5495 of the LordG2962 was with them, and 28a largeG4183 numberG706 who believedG4100 turnedG1994 to the LordG2962. 22The 29newsG3056 aboutG4012 them 30reachedG191 the earsG3775 of the churchG1577 at JerusalemG2419, and they sentG1821 31BarnabasG921 offG1821 32to 33AntiochG490. 23Then when he arrivedG3854 and 34witnessedG3708 35the graceG5485 of GodG2316, he rejoicedG5463 and began to encourageG3870 them allG3956 with 36resoluteG4286 heartG2588 to remainG4357 true to the LordG2962; 24for he was a goodG18 manG435, and 37fullG4134 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and of faithG4102. And 38considerableG2425 39numbersG3793 were 40broughtG4369 to the LordG2962. 25And he leftG1831 for 41TarsusG5019 to lookG327 for SaulG4569; 26and when he had foundG2147 him, he broughtG71 him to 42AntiochG490. And for an entireG3650 yearG1763 they 43metG4863 with the churchG1577 and taughtG1321 considerableG2425 44numbersG3793; and 45the disciplesG3101 were firstG4416 calledG5537 46ChristiansG5546 in 47AntiochG490.

27NowG1161 48at thisG3778 timeG2250 49some prophetsG4396 cameG2718 downG2718 from JerusalemG2414 to 50AntiochG490. 28OneG1520 of them namedG3686 51AgabusG13 stoodG450 up and began to indicateG4591 52by the SpiritG4151 that there wouldG3195 certainlyG3195 be a greatG3173 famineG3042 53allG3650 overG1909 the 54worldG3625. 55And thisG3748 tookG1096 placeG1096 in the reign of 56ClaudiusG2804. 29And in the proportionG2531 that anyG5100 of 57the disciplesG3101 hadG2141 meansG2141, eachG1538 of them determinedG3724 to sendG3992 a contribution for the 58reliefG1248 of 59the brethrenG80 livingG2730 in JudeaG2453. 3060And thisG3739 they didG4160, sendingG649 it 61in chargeG1223G5495 of 62BarnabasG921 and SaulG4569 to the 63eldersG4245.
