Acts 11:2-30

2And whenG3753 PeterG4074 cameG305 up to JerusalemG2419, 12thoseG3588 who were circumcisedG4061 tookG1252 issueG1252 with him, 3sayingG3004, “3You 4wentG1525 to uncircumcisedG203 menG435 and ateG4906 with them.” 4But PeterG4074 beganG757 speaking 5and proceeded to explainG1620 to them 6in orderlyG2517 sequenceG2517, sayingG3004, 5“7I was in the cityG4172 of JoppaG2445 prayingG4336; and in a tranceG1611 I sawG3708 8a visionG3705, an 9objectG4632 comingG2597 downG2597 likeG5613 a greatG3173 sheetG3607 loweredG2524 by fourG5064 cornersG746 from 10the skyG3772; and it cameG2064 rightG891 down to me, 6and when I had fixedG816 my gazeG816 on it and was observingG2657 it 11I sawG3708 the four-footedG5074 animalsG5074 of the earthG1093 and the wildG2342 beastsG2342 and the 12crawlingG2062 creaturesG2062 and the birdsG4071 of the 13airG3772. 7I alsoG2532 heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 to me, ‘GetG450 up, PeterG4074; 14killG2380 and eatG2068.’ 8But I saidG3004, ‘By noG3365 meansG3365, LordG2962, for nothingG3763 15unholyG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169 has everG3763 enteredG1525 my mouthG4750.’ 9But a voiceG5456 from heavenG3772 answeredG611 a secondG1208 timeG1208, ‘16WhatG3739 GodG2316 has cleansedG2511, noG3361 longer 17considerG2840 unholyG2839.’ 10ThisG3778 happenedG1096 threeG5151 timesG5151, and everythingG537 was drawnG385 backG3825 up into 18the skyG3772. 11And beholdG2400, at that momentG1824 threeG5140 menG435 appearedG2186 at the houseG3614 in whichG3739 we were staying, having been sentG649 to me from 19CaesareaG2542. 1220The SpiritG4151 toldG3004 me to goG4905 with them 2122withoutG3367 misgivingsG1252. 23TheseG3778 sixG1803 brethrenG80 alsoG2532 wentG2064 with me and we enteredG1525 the man’sG435 houseG3624. 13And he reportedG518 to us howG4459 he had seenG3708 the angelG32 24standingG2476 in his houseG3624, and sayingG3004, ‘SendG649 to JoppaG2445 and have SimonG4613, who is also calledG1941 PeterG4074, broughtG3343 hereG3343; 14and he will speakG2980 25wordsG4487 to you by whichG3739 you will be savedG4982, you and 26allG3956 your householdG3624.’ 15And as I beganG757 to speakG2980, 27the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 fellG1968 upon them justG5618 28as He did upon us at the beginningG746. 16And I rememberedG3403 the wordG4487 of the LordG2962, howG5613 He used to sayG3004, ‘29JohnG2491 baptizedG907 with waterG5204, but you will be baptizedG907 30with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.’ 17ThereforeG3767 ifG1487 31GodG2316 gaveG1325 to them the sameG2470 giftG1431 as He gave to us alsoG2532 after believingG4100 in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 32whoG5101 was I that I couldG1415 33standG2967 in God’sG2316 wayG2967?” 18When they heardG191 thisG3778, they 34quietedG2270 downG2270 and 35glorifiedG1392 GodG2316, sayingG3004, “WellG686 thenG686, GodG2316 has grantedG1325 to the GentilesG1484 alsoG2532 the 36repentanceG3341 that leads to lifeG2222.”

1937SoG3767 thenG3767 thoseG3588 who were scatteredG1289 becauseG575 of the 38persecutionG2347 that occurredG1096 in connectionG1909 with StephenG4736 madeG1330 their wayG1330 39to 40PhoeniciaG5403 and 41CyprusG2954 and 42AntiochG490, speakingG2980 the wordG3056 to noG3367 oneG3367 exceptG1508 to JewsG2453 aloneG3441. 20But there were someG5100 of them, menG435 of 43CyprusG2953 and 44CyreneG2956, whoG3748 cameG2064 to 45AntiochG490 and began speakingG2980 to the 4647GreeksG1672 alsoG2532, 4849preachingG2097 the LordG2962 JesusG2424. 21And 50the handG5495 of the LordG2962 was with them, and 51a largeG4183 numberG706 who believedG4100 turnedG1994 to the LordG2962. 22The 52newsG3056 aboutG4012 them 53reachedG191 the earsG3775 of the churchG1577 at JerusalemG2419, and they sentG1821 54BarnabasG921 offG1821 55to 56AntiochG490. 23Then when he arrivedG3854 and 57witnessedG3708 58the graceG5485 of GodG2316, he rejoicedG5463 and began to encourageG3870 them allG3956 with 59resoluteG4286 heartG2588 to remainG4357 true to the LordG2962; 24for he was a goodG18 manG435, and 60fullG4134 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and of faithG4102. And 61considerableG2425 62numbersG3793 were 63broughtG4369 to the LordG2962. 25And he leftG1831 for 64TarsusG5019 to lookG327 for SaulG4569; 26and when he had foundG2147 him, he broughtG71 him to 65AntiochG490. And for an entireG3650 yearG1763 they 66metG4863 with the churchG1577 and taughtG1321 considerableG2425 67numbersG3793; and 68the disciplesG3101 were firstG4416 calledG5537 69ChristiansG5546 in 70AntiochG490.

27NowG1161 71at thisG3778 timeG2250 72some prophetsG4396 cameG2718 downG2718 from JerusalemG2414 to 73AntiochG490. 28OneG1520 of them namedG3686 74AgabusG13 stoodG450 up and began to indicateG4591 75by the SpiritG4151 that there wouldG3195 certainlyG3195 be a greatG3173 famineG3042 76allG3650 overG1909 the 77worldG3625. 78And thisG3748 tookG1096 placeG1096 in the reign of 79ClaudiusG2804. 29And in the proportionG2531 that anyG5100 of 80the disciplesG3101 hadG2141 meansG2141, eachG1538 of them determinedG3724 to sendG3992 a contribution for the 81reliefG1248 of 82the brethrenG80 livingG2730 in JudeaG2453. 3083And thisG3739 they didG4160, sendingG649 it 84in chargeG1223G5495 of 85BarnabasG921 and SaulG4569 to the 86eldersG4245.
