that, You went in unto men having uncircumcision, and ate with them.

4 But Peter began and set forth [the matter] to them in order, saying,

And Peter beginning expounded unto them consecutively, saying,

5 I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in an ecstasy I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down by four corners out of heaven, and it came even to me:

I was praying in the city Joppa: and I saw a vision in an ecstasy, A certain vessel, like a great sheet, descending from the heaven, sitting down by four rope ends; and came even unto me:

6 on which having fixed mine eyes, I considered, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven.

into which looking, I was investigating, and I saw quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and the birds of the heaven.

7 And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat.

And I also heard a voice saying to me, Arising, Peter; slay and eat.

8 And I said, In no wise, Lord, for common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.

And I said, By no means, Lord: because nothing unconsecrated or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.

9 And a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God has cleansed, do not thou make common.

And a voice a second time was heard from heaven, Whatsoever things God has cleansed, consider thou not unconsecrated.

10 And this took place thrice, and again all was drawn up into heaven;

And this took place three times: and all things were again taken up into the heaven.

11 and lo, immediately three men were at the house in which I was, sent to me from Caesarea.

And, behold, immediately three men were standing at the house in which we were, having been sent to me from Cornelius.

12 And the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also, and we entered into the house of the man,

And the Spirit said to me, to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brethren went along with me, and we entered into the house of the man.

13 and he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying [to him], Send [men] to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter,

And he proclaimed to us how he saw an angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is called Peter;

14 who shall speak words to thee whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.

who will speak words to you, by which you and your whole family may be saved.

15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning.

And when I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.

16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with [the] Holy Spirit.

And I remembered the word of the Lord, as He said, John indeed baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

17 If then God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was I to be able to forbid God?

Since then God gave unto them the equal gift, as also unto us, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ; who was I, to be able to resist God?

18 And when they heard these things they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then indeed God has to the nations also granted repentance to life.

And hearing these things, they acquiesced, and glorified God, saying, Then God has also given unto the Gentiles repentance unto life.

19 They then who had been scattered abroad through the tribulation that took place on the occasion of Stephen, passed through [the country] to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one but to Jews alone.

Then indeed those having been dispersed abroad on account of the persecution prevailing over Stephen came through even to Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews only.

20 But there were certain of them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who entering into Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, announcing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus.

And of them there were certain Cyprian and Cyrenean men, who, having come into Antioch, were speaking to the Greeks also, preaching the gospel of the Lord Jesus.

21 And [the] Lord's hand was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number having believed, turned to the Lord.

22 And the report concerning them reached the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go through as far as Antioch:

And the word was heard in the ears of the church in Jerusalem concerning them: and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

23 who, having arrived and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted all with purpose of heart to abide with the Lord;

Who, coming, and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced, and continued to exhort all, with purpose of heart to abide with the Lord:

24 for he was a good man and full of [the] Holy Spirit and of faith; and a large crowd [of people] were added to the Lord.

because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.

25 And he went away to Tarsus to seek out Saul.

And he went away to Tarsus, to hunt up Saul: and having found him, led him to Antioch.

26 And having found [him], he brought him to Antioch. And so it was with them that for a whole year they were gathered together in the assembly and taught a large crowd: and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

And one of them by name Agabus, standing up, signified through the Spirit that there is about to be a great famine throughout the whole world: which took place under the reign of Claudius.

29 And they determined, according as any one of the disciples was well off, each of them to send to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea, to minister [to them];

And they determined that each one of them should send to the ministry to the brethren dwelling in Judea, as each one of the disciples was prosperous;

30 which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

and this they did, sending to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
