Acts 11

1 Heard now the apostles and the brothers those being in Judea that also the Gentiles 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

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

4 having begun now (*k*) Peter he was explaining [it] 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;

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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,

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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;

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.

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

27 In these now days came down from Jerusalem prophets 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*)

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

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