Revised Literal Translation
1AndG1161 the apostlesG3588G652 andG2532 brethrenG3588G80 thatG3588 wereG1510 inG2596 JudæaG3588G2449 heardG191 thatG3754 the GentilesG3588G1484 hadG1209 alsoG2532 receivedG1209 the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2316. 2AndG2532 whenG3753 PeterG4074 was come upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, they that wereG3588 ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 contendedG1252 withG4314 himG846, 3SayingG3004, Thou wentest inG1525 toG4314 menG435 uncircumcisedG203, andG2532 didst eat withG4906 themG846. 4ButG1161 PeterG3588G4074 rehearsedG756 the matter from the beginningG756, and expoundedG1620 it by orderG2517 unto themG846, sayingG3004, 5IG1473 wasG1510 inG1722 the cityG4172 of JoppaG2445 prayingG4336: andG2532 inG1722 a tranceG1611 I sawG3708 a visionG3705, A certainG5100 vesselG4632 descendG2597, as it had beenG5613 a greatG3173 sheetG3607, let downG2524 fromG1537 heavenG3588G3772 by fourG5064 cornersG746; andG2532 it cameG2064 even toG891 meG1473: 6UponG1519 the whichG3739 when I had fastened mine eyesG816, I consideredG2657, andG2532 sawG3708 fourfooted beastsG5074 of the earthG3588G1093, andG2532 wild beastsG3588G2342, andG2532 creeping thingsG3588G2062, andG2532 fowlsG3588G4071 of the airG3588G3772. 7AndG1161 I heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 unto meG1473, AriseG450, PeterG4074; slayG2380 andG2532 eatG5315. 8ButG1161 I saidG3004, Not soG3365, LordG2962: forG3754 nothingG3956 commonG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169 hath at any timeG3763 enteredG1525 intoG1519 myG1473 mouthG3588G4750. 9ButG1161 the voiceG5456 answeredG611 meG1473 againG1208 fromG1537 heavenG3588G3772, WhatG3739 GodG3588G2316 hath cleansedG2511, that callG2840 notG3361 thouG4771 commonG2840. 10AndG1161 thisG3778 was doneG1096 three timesG5151: andG2532 allG537 were drawn upG385 againG3825 intoG1519 heavenG3588G3772. 11AndG2532, beholdG3708, immediatelyG1824 there were threeG5140 menG435 already comeG2186 untoG1909 the houseG3588G3614 whereG3739 I wasG1510, sentG649 fromG575 CæsareaG2542 untoG4314 meG1473. 12AndG1161 the SpiritG3588G4151 badeG3004 meG1473 go withG4905 themG846, nothingG3367 doubtingG1252. MoreoverG1161 theseG3778 sixG1803 brethrenG80 accompaniedG2064 meG1473, andG2532 we enteredG1525 intoG1519 the man’sG3588G435 houseG3588G3624: 13AndG5037 he shewedG518 usG1473 howG4459 he had seenG3708 an angelG3588G32 inG1722 hisG846 houseG3588G3624, which stoodG2476 andG2532 saidG3004 unto himG846, SendG649 menG435 toG1519 JoppaG2445, andG2532 call forG3343 SimonG4613, whose surname isG1941 PeterG4074; 14WhoG3739 shall tellG2980 theeG4771 wordsG4487, wherebyG3739 thouG4771 andG2532 allG3956 thyG4771 houseG3588G3624 shall be savedG4982. 15AndG1161 asG1722 IG1473 beganG756 to speakG2980, the HolyG40 GhostG3588G4151 fellG1968 onG1909 themG846, asG5618 onG1909 usG1473 atG1722 the beginningG746. 16ThenG1161 remembered IG3403 the wordG3588G4487 of the LordG2962, how thatG5613 he saidG3004, JohnG2491 indeedG3303 baptizedG907 with waterG5204; butG1161 yeG4771 shall be baptizedG907 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151. 17ForasmuchG1487 thenG3767 asG5613 GodG3588G2316 gaveG1325 themG846 the likeG2470 giftG1431 asG2532 he did unto usG1473, who believedG4100 onG1909 the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; whatG5101 wasG1510 IG1473, that I couldG1415 withstandG2967 GodG3588G2316? 18WhenG1161 they heardG191 these thingsG3778, they held their peaceG2270, andG2532 glorifiedG1392 GodG3588G2316, sayingG3004, ThenG686G1065 hathG1325 GodG3588G2316 alsoG2532 to the GentilesG3588G1484 grantedG1325 repentanceG3588G3341 untoG1519 lifeG2222. 19
NowG3767 theyG3588 which were scattered abroadG1289 uponG575 the persecutionG3588G2347 that aroseG1096 aboutG1909 StephenG4736 travelledG1330 as far asG2193 PheniceG5403, andG2532 CyprusG2954, andG2532 AntiochG490, preachingG2980 the wordG3588G3056 to noneG3367 butG1487 unto the JewsG2453 onlyG3440. 20AndG1161 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 wereG1510 menG435 of CyprusG2953 andG2532 CyreneG2956, whichG3748, when they were comeG1525 toG1519 AntiochG490, spakeG2980 untoG4314 the GreciansG3588G1675, preachingG2097 the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424. 21AndG2532 the handG5495 of the LordG2962 wasG1510 withG3326 themG846: andG5037 a greatG4183 numberG706 believedG4100, and turnedG1994 untoG1909 the LordG3588G2962.
22ThenG1161 tidingsG3588G3056 ofG4012 these thingsG846 cameG191 untoG1519 the earsG3588G3775 of the AssemblyG3588G1577 which wasG3588 inG1722 JerusalemG2414: andG2532 they sent forthG1821 BarnabasG921, that he should goG1330 as far asG2193 AntiochG490. 23WhoG3739, when he cameG3854, andG2532 had seenG3708 the graceG3588G5485 of GodG3588G2316, was gladG5463, andG2532 exhortedG3870 them allG3956, that with purposeG3588G4286 of heartG3588G2588 they would cleaveG4357 unto the LordG3588G2962. 24ForG3754 he wasG1510 a goodG18 manG435, andG2532 fullG4134 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 of faithG4102: andG2532 muchG2425 peopleG3793 was addedG4369 unto the LordG3588G2962. 25ThenG1161 departedG1831 BarnabasG3588G921 toG1519 TarsusG5019, for to seekG327 SaulG4569: 26AndG2532 when he had foundG2147 himG846, he broughtG71 himG846 untoG1519 AntiochG490. AndG1161 it came to pass, thatG1096 a wholeG3650 yearG1763 they gatheredG4863 themselvesG846 together withG1722 the AssemblyG3588G1577, andG2532 taughtG1321 muchG2425 peopleG3793. AndG5037 the disciplesG3588G3101 were calledG5537 ChristiansG5546 firstG4412 inG1722 AntiochG490.
27AndG1161 inG1722 theseG3778 daysG3588G2250 cameG2718 prophetsG4396 fromG575 JerusalemG2414 untoG1519 AntiochG490. 28AndG1161 there stood upG450 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846 namedG3686 AgabusG13, and signifiedG4591 byG1223 the SpiritG3588G4151 that there shouldG3195 beG1510 greatG3173 dearthG3042 throughoutG1909 allG3650 the worldG3588G3625: whichG3748 came to passG1096 inG1909 the days of ClaudiusG2804 CæsarG2541. 29ThenG1161 the disciplesG3101, everyG1538 manG5100 according toG2531 hisG846 abilityG2141, determinedG3724 to sendG3992 reliefG1248 untoG1519 the brethrenG80 whichG3588 dweltG2730 inG1722 JudæaG3588G2449: 30WhichG3739 alsoG2532 they didG4160, and sent itG649 toG4314 the eldersG4245 byG1223 the handsG5495 of BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569.
