1
Now
the apostles
and the brethren
who were throughout
Judea
heard
that the Gentiles
also
had received
the word
of God.
2
And when
Peter
came
up to Jerusalem,
those
who were circumcised
took issue
with him,
3
saying,
"You went
to uncircumcised
men
and ate
with them."
4
But Peter
began
speaking and proceeded to explain
to them in orderly sequence,
saying,
5
"I was in the city
of Joppa
praying;
and in a trance
I saw
a vision,
an object
coming down
like
a great
sheet
lowered
by four
corners
from the sky;
and it came
right
down to me,
6
and when I had fixed my gaze
on it and was observing
it I saw
the four-footed animals
of the earth
and the wild beasts
and the crawling creatures
and the birds
of the air.
7
"I also
heard
a voice
saying
to me, 'Get
up, Peter;
kill
and eat.'
8
"But I said,
'By no means,
Lord,
for nothing
unholy
or
unclean
has ever
entered
my mouth.'
9
"But a voice
from heaven
answered
a second time,
'
What
God
has cleansed,
no
longer consider
unholy.'
10
"This
happened
three times,
and everything
was drawn
back
up into the sky.
11
"And behold,
at that moment
three
men
appeared
at the house
in which
we were staying, having been sent
to me from Caesarea.
12
"The Spirit
told
me to go
with them without
misgivings.
These
six
brethren
also
went
with me and we entered
the man's
house.
13
"And he reported
to us how
he had seen
the angel
standing
in his house,
and saying,
'Send
to Joppa
and have Simon,
who is also called
Peter,
brought here;
14
and he will speak
words
to you by which
you will be saved,
you and all
your household.'
15
"And as I began
to speak,
the Holy
Spirit
fell
upon them just
as He did upon us at the beginning.
16
"And I remembered
the word
of the Lord,
how
He used to say,
'
John
baptized
with water,
but you will be
baptized
with the Holy
Spirit.'
17
"Therefore
if
God
gave
to them the same
gift
as He
gave
to us also
after believing
in the Lord
Jesus
Christ,
who
was I that I could
stand
in
God
's
way?"
18
When they heard
this,
they quieted down
and glorified
God
,
saying,
"Well then,
God
has granted
to the Gentiles
also
the repentance
that leads to life."
19
So then
those
who were scattered
because
of the persecution
that occurred
in connection
with Stephen
made their way
to Phoenicia
and Cyprus
and Antioch,
speaking
the word
to no one
except
to Jews
alone.
20
But there were some
of them, men
of Cyprus
and Cyrene,
who
came
to Antioch
and began speaking
to the Greeks
also,
preaching
the Lord
Jesus.
21
And the hand
of the Lord
was with them, and a large
number
who believed
turned
to the Lord.
22
The news
about
them reached
the ears
of the church
at Jerusalem,
and they sent
Barnabas
off
to Antioch.
23
Then when he arrived
and witnessed
the grace
of God,
he rejoiced
and began to encourage
them all
with resolute
heart
to remain
true to the Lord;
24
for he was a good
man,
and full
of the Holy
Spirit
and of faith.
And considerable
numbers
were brought
to the Lord.
25
And he left
for Tarsus
to look
for Saul;
26
and when he had found
him, he brought
him to Antioch.
And for an entire
year
they met
with the church
and taught
considerable
numbers;
and the disciples
were first
called
Christians
in Antioch.
27
Now
at this
time
some prophets
came down
from Jerusalem
to Antioch.
28
One
of them named
Agabus
stood
up and began to indicate
by the Spirit
that there would certainly
be a great
famine
all
over
the world.
And this
took place
in the reign of Claudius.
29
And in the proportion
that any
of the disciples
had means,
each
of them determined
to send
a contribution for the relief
of the brethren
living
in Judea.
30
And this
they did,
sending
it in charge
of Barnabas
and Saul
to the elders.
