Acts 11

1 Now the Apostles and the brothers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

Heard now the apostles and the brothers those being in Judea that also the Gentiles received the word of God.

2 When Peter went up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision party started contending with him,

(and *k*) When (also *no*) went up Peter to (Jerusalem, *N(k)O*) were contending with him those of [the] circumcision

3 saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”

saying that (You entered *NK(O)*) to men uncircumcision having and (you ate with *NK(O)*) them.

4 So Peter began by explaining it to them in order, saying:

having begun now (*k*) Peter he was explaining [it] to them in order saying;

5 “I was in the town of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain object like a great sheet coming down out of the sky, being lowered by its four corners; and it came to me.

I myself was in [the] city of Joppa praying and I saw in a trance a vision descending a vessel certain like a sheet great by four corners being let down out of heaven, and it came down as far as me;

6 Upon peering into it I observed and distinguished the quadrupeds of the earth—both the wild animals and the reptiles—and the birds of the sky.

On it having looked intently I was observing [it] and I saw the quadrupeds of the earth and the wild beasts and the creeping things and the birds of the air.

7 Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!’

I heard then (also *no*) a voice saying to me; Having risen up Peter, do kill and do eat.

8 So I said: ‘No way, Lord! Never has anything ‘common’ or unclean entered my mouth!’

I said however; In no way, Lord; for (every *K*) common or unclean nothing ever has entered into the mouth of mine.

9 But the voice answered me, a second time, from heaven, ‘Things that God has made clean you must not call ‘common’.’

Answered however (to me *k*) [the] voice for a second [time] out of heaven; What God has cleansed, you yourself not do call unholy.

10 Well this was done three times, and it was all pulled back up into the sky.

This now happened on three times, and was drawn up again all into heaven.

11 At that very moment three men stopped in front of the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

and behold immediately three men stood at the house in which (I was *N(k)O*) sent from Caesarea to me.

12 The Spirit told me to go with them, doubting nothing. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man's house.

Told now the Spirit to me to go with them not (having discriminated. *N(k)O*) Went now with me myself also six brothers these, and we entered into the house of the man.

13 He then related to us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter,

He related (then *N(k)O*) to us how he had seen the angel in the house of him having stood and having said (to him: *k*) do send forth to Joppa (men *K*) and do yourself send for Simon who is called Peter,

14 who will speak words to you by which you and all your household will be saved.’

who will speak declarations to you in which will be saved you yourself and all the household of you.

15 Well as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as on us at the beginning.

In then beginning me to speak fell the Spirit Holy upon them, even as also upon us in [the] beginning.

16 I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you will be baptized with Holy Spirit.’

I remembered then the declaration (of the *no*) Lord, how He was saying: John indeed baptized with water, you yourselves however will be baptized with [the] Spirit Holy.

17 So if God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed upon the Lord Jesus, who was I to be able to withstand God?”

If then the same gift has given to them God as also to us having believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, I myself (now *k*) how was able to forbid God?

18 Upon hearing these things they acquiesced and started glorifying God, saying, “So then, God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance into life!”

Having heard then these things they were silent and (glorified *N(k)O*) God saying; Then indeed (indeed *k*) also to the Gentiles God repentance unto life has given.

19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that came about in connection with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews only.

Those indeed therefore having been scattered by the tribulation having taken place over Stephen passed through until Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch to no one speaking the word only except solely to Jews.

20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who upon entering Antioch started speaking to the Greek-speakers, preaching the good news of the Lord Jesus.

Were however some of them men of Cyprus and of Cyrene, who (having come *N(k)O*) into Antioch were speaking (also *no*) to the (Hellenists *NK(o)*) evangelising [about] the Lord Jesus.

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

And was [the] hand of [the] Lord with them, [a] great then number (which *no*) having believed turned to the Lord;

22 Well the report concerning them reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch.

Was heard now the report in the ears of the church which (is being *no*) in (Jerusalem *N(k)O*) concerning them and they sent forth Barnabas (to go *NK*) as far as Antioch;

23 Upon arriving and seeing the grace of God, he was glad, and he kept encouraging them all to remain true to the Lord with purpose of heart

who having come and having seen the grace (which [is] *no*) of God he rejoiced and he was exhorting all with resolute purpose of heart to abide (in *o*) the Lord;

24 (for he was a good man, full of Holy Spirit and of faith). And a considerable crowd was added to the Lord.

For he was a man good and full of [the] Spirit Holy and of faith. And was added a crowd large to the Lord.

25 Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to look for Saul,

He went forth then to Tarsus (*k*) (Barnabas *K*) to seek Saul,

26 and upon finding him he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they met with the congregation and taught a great many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

and having found (him *k*) he brought (him *k*) to Antioch. It came to pass [that] now (they *N(k)O*) also a year whole gathering together in the church and teaching a crowd large, Were calling then (first *N(k)O*) in Antioch the disciples Christians.

27 Now in these days, prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.

In these now days came down from Jerusalem prophets to Antioch;

28 One of them, named Agabus, stood up and indicated by the Spirit that a great famine was about to come upon the whole world (this indeed happened while Claudius was Caesar).

Having risen up now one of them named Agabus he signified through the Spirit [that] a famine (great *N(k)O*) to ensue being over all the world — (which *N(k)O*) (also *k*) was in [the time of] Claudius (of Caesar. *K*)

29 Then the disciples, to the extent that any had plenty, each of them determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;

And the disciples even as was prospered anyone, determined each of them for ministry to send to the dwelling in Judea brothers;

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

which also they did having sent [it] to the elders through [the] hand of Barnabas and Saul.
