Acts  


11 : 1 The apostles and the brothers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
11 : 2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized him
11 : 3 and said, "You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them."
11 : 4 Peter began and explained everything to them precisely as it had happened:
11 : 5 I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to where I was.
11 : 6 I looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air.
11 : 7 Then I heard a voice telling me, `Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.`
11 : 8 I replied, `Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.`
11 : 9 The voice spoke from heaven a second time, `Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.`
11 : 10 This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.
11 : 11 Right then three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying.
11 : 12 The Spirit told me to have no hesitation about going with them. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man`s house.
11 : 13 He told us how he had seen an angel appear in his house and say, `Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter.
11 : 14 He will bring you a message through which you and all your household will be saved.`
11 : 15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning.
11 : 16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: `John baptized withwater, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.`
11 : 17 So if God gave them the same gift as he gave us, who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could oppose God?"
11 : 18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, "So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life."
11 : 19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution in connection with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, telling the message only to Jews.
11 : 20 Some of them, however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus.
11 : 21 The Lord`s hand was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.
11 : 22 News of this reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
11 : 23 When he arrived and saw the evidence of the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.
11 : 24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.
11 : 25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
11 : 26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
11 : 27 During this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
11 : 28 One of them, named Agabus, stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world. (This happened during the reign of Claudius.)
11 : 29 The disciples, each according to his ability, decided to provide help for the brothers living in Judea.
11 : 30 This they did, sending their gift to the elders by Barnabas and Saul.
