Acts 11:13-30

13And he reportedG518 to us howG4459 he had seenG3708 the angelG32 1standingG2476 in his houseG3624, and sayingG3004, ‘SendG649 some men 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 uponG1968 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 them the sameG2470 giftG1431 as He alsoG2532 gave to us after believingG4100 in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 9whoG5101 was I that I couldG1415 10standG2967 inG2967 God’sG2316 wayG2967?” 18When they heardG191 thisG3778, they 11quietedG2270 downG2270 and 12glorifiedG1392 GodG2316, sayingG3004, “WellG686 thenG686, GodG2316 has alsoG2532 grantedG1325 to the GentilesG1484 the 13repentanceG3341 that leads to lifeG2222.”

1914SoG3767 thenG3767 thoseG3588 who were scatteredG1289 becauseG575 of the 15persecutionG2347 that occurredG1096 inG1909 connectionG1909 withG1909 StephenG4736 madeG1330 their wayG1330 16to 17PhoeniciaG5403, 18CyprusG2954, and 19AntiochG490, speakingG2980 the wordG3056 to noG3367 oneG3367 exceptG1508 to JewsG2453 aloneG3441. 20But there were someG5100 of them, menG435 ofG2953 20CyprusG2953 and 21CyreneG2956, whoG3748 cameG2064 to 22AntiochG490 and began speakingG2980 to the 2324GreeksG1672 asG2532 wellG2532, 25preachingG2097 the goodG2097 newsG2097 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424. 21And 26the handG5495 of the LordG2962 was with them, and 27a largeG4183 numberG706 who believedG4100 turnedG1994 to the LordG2962. 22The 28newsG3056 aboutG4012 them 29reachedG191 the earsG3775 of the churchG1577 in JerusalemG2419, and they sentG1821 30BarnabasG921 offG1821 31to 32AntiochG490. 23Then when he arrivedG3854 and 33witnessedG3708 34the graceG5485 of GodG2316, he rejoicedG5463 and began to encourageG3870 them allG3956 with 35resoluteG4286 heartG2588 to remainG4357 true to the LordG2962; 24for he was a goodG18 manG435, and 36fullG4134 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and faithG4102. And 3738considerableG2425 numbersG3793 were addedG4369 to the LordG2962. 25And he leftG1831 for 39TarsusG5019 to lookG327 for SaulG4569; 26and when he had foundG2147 him, he broughtG71 him to 40AntiochG490. And for an entireG3650 yearG1763 they 41metG4863 with the churchG1577 and taughtG1321 42considerableG2425 numbersG3793 ofG3793 peopleG3793; and 43the disciplesG3101 were firstG4416 calledG5537 44ChristiansG5546 in 45AntiochG490.

27NowG1161 46at thisG3778 timeG2250 some 47prophetsG4396 cameG2718 downG2718 from JerusalemG2414 to 48AntiochG490. 28OneG1520 of them, namedG3686 49AgabusG13, stoodG450 upG450 and 50indicatedG4591 51by the SpiritG4151 that there wouldG3195 definitelyG3195 be a severeG3173 famineG3042 52allG3650 overG1909 the 53worldG3625. 54And thisG3748 tookG1096 placeG1096 in the reign of 55ClaudiusG2804. 29And toG2531 theG2531 extentG2531 thatG2531 anyG5100 of 56the disciplesG3101 hadG2141 meansG2141, eachG1538 of them determinedG3724 to sendG3992 a contribution for the 57reliefG1248 of 58the brothersG80 and sisters livingG2730 in JudeaG2449. 3059And they didG4160 thisG3739, sendingG649 it 60withG1223G5495 61BarnabasG921 and SaulG4569 to the 62eldersG4245.
