Acts 11:1-10

1NowG1161 the apostlesG652 and 1the brothersG80 and sisters who were throughoutG2596 JudeaG2449 heardG191 that the GentilesG1484 alsoG2532 had receivedG1209 the wordG3056 of GodG2316.

2And whenG3753 PeterG4074 cameG305 upG305 to JerusalemG2419, 23the JewishG4061 believers tookG1252 issueG1252 with him,

3sayingG3004, “4You 5wentG1525 to 6uncircumcisedG203 menG435 and ateG4906 with them.”

4But PeterG4074 beganG757 and explainedG1620 at length to them 7inG2517 an 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 the skyG3772; and it cameG2064 to whereG891 I was,

6and I staredG816 at it and was thinkingG2657 aboutG2657 it, and I sawG3708 the four-footedG5074 animalsG5074 of the earthG1093, the wildG2342 animalsG2342, the 11crawlingG2062 creaturesG2062, and the birdsG4071 of the skyG3772.

7I alsoG2532 heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 to me, ‘GetG450 upG450, PeterG4074; 12killG2380 and eatG2068.’

8But I saidG3004, ‘ByG3365 noG3365 meansG3365, LordG2962, for nothingG3763 13unholyG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169 has everG3763 enteredG1525 my mouthG4750.’

9But a voiceG5456 from heavenG3772 answeredG611 a secondG1208 timeG1208, ‘14WhatG3739 GodG2316 has cleansedG2511, noG3361 longer 15considerG2840 unholyG2839.’

10ThisG3778 happenedG1096 threeG5151 timesG5151, and everythingG537 was drawnG385 backG3825 upG385 into the skyG3772.
