Acts 11

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

And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

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

And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,

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

saying: You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them.

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

And Peter began, and laid the matter before them in order, saying:

5 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;

I was in the city of Joppa, praying; and, while in a trance, I saw a vision, some vessel like a great sheet, descending, let down from heaven by the four corners; and it came even to me.

6 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.

When I had looked attentively into it, I observed and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts and creeping things and birds of the air.

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

And I heard a voice saying to me, Rise, Peter, kill and eat.

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

But I said, By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.

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

But the voice answered me a second time from heaven, What God has cleansed, you must not call common.

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

This was done the third time, and all was drawn up again into heaven.

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

And behold, three men who had been sent to me from Cæsarea, immediately came to the house where I was.

12 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.

And the Spirit commanded me to go with them without hesitation. And these six brethren accompanied me. And we entered the man’s house:

13 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,

and he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send to Joppa and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter;

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

he will tell you words by which you and all your house shall be saved.

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

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

16 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.

Then I remembered the word of the Lord, as he said, John immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit.

17 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?

If, then, God gave them the like gift that he gave to us who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I, that I could withstand God?

18 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.

And when they heard these things, they ceased to contend; and they glorified God, saying: Then, indeed, has God given to the Gentiles also repentance in order to life.

19 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.

Now those who had been dispersed by the persecution that arose after the death of Stephen, traveled as far as Phenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none but Jews.

20 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.

But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.

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

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

22 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;

And the report concerning them came to the ears of the church that was in Jerusalem; and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch.

23 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;

When he had come, and had seen the grace of God, he rejoiced; and he exhorted them all to remain, with purpose of heart, faithful to the Lord.

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

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

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

And Barnabas went to Tarsus, to seek for Saul;

26 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.

and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that they met together in the church for a whole year, and taught a great multitude; and the disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.

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

In those days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.

28 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*)

And one of them, named Agabus, rose and made known, by the Spirit, that a great famine was about to come on the whole habitable land; which took place in the days of Claudius.

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

And every one of the disciples determined, as he had the means, to send relief to the brethren that dwelt in Judea;

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

which also they did; and they sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
