Acts 11

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

Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also 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

When Peter had come 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;

But Peter began, and explained to 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 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.

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 intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.

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

I also 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, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into 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 a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’

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

This was done three times, and all were 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.

Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

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.

The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into 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,

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

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

who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’

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

As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even 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.

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 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 to them the same gift as us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who 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.

When they heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance 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.

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 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 there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, 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;

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;

The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. 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;

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 near 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 many people were added to the Lord.

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

Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look 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.

When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

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

Now in these days, prophets came down 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*)

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

As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;

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

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