Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the non-Jewish people had also received the word of God.
When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
saying, "You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them."
But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
5 ⲉ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲉⲓϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲟⲡⲡⲏ ⲉⲓϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩϩⲟⲣⲟⲙⲁ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲕⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲥⲕⲉⲩⲟⲥ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛϩⲃⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲭⲁⲗⲁ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲟⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲡⲱϩ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲓ
"I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, crawling creatures, and birds of the sky.
I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.'
But I said, 'Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.'
But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, 'What God has cleansed, do not call unclean.'
This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
And look, immediately three men stood before the house where we were, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲕⲇⲓⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲓⲕⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲏⲓ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ
The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house.

He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, 'Send to Joppa, and get Simon, whose surname is Peter,
who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.'
As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁⲓⲣⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁϥⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲛⲁ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, 'John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.'
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϯⲇⲱⲣⲉⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛⲑⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲣⲁϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲕⲱⲗⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?"
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲣⲁ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯⲧⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ ⲛⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲱⲛϩ
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the non-Jews repentance to life."
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲱⲱⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲓ ⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲫⲟⲓⲛⲓⲕⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲕⲩⲡⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲁⲛⲧⲓⲟⲭⲓⲁ ⲉⲛⲥⲉϫⲱ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲩ
They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
20 ⲕ̅ ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ϩⲟⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲕⲩⲡⲣⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲕⲩⲣⲏⲛⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲧⲓⲟⲭⲓⲁ ⲁⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲉⲓⲉⲛⲓⲛ ⲉⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲥ
But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, proclaiming the good news of the Lord Jesus.
The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲙⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲛ ⲑⲓⲗⲏⲙ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲃⲱⲕ ϣⲁ ⲧⲁⲛⲇⲓⲟⲭⲓⲁ
And the report concerning them was heard by the church in Jerusalem, so they sent Barnabas to Antioch,
who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain true to the Lord.
24 ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲥ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲁ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ϩⲓ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ ⲟⲩⲁϩϥ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.

When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. It happened, that for a whole year they were gathered together with the church, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

One of them named Agabus stood up, and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
29 ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲟϣⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϯ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲥⲉϫⲟⲟⲩⲥⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏϩ ϩⲛ ϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ
As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
