Acts 11
1 The apostles and [other] believers who lived in various towns in Judea [province] heard people say that [some] non-Jewish people had believed the message [from] God [about Jesus].
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲒⲟⲩⲇⲉ⳿ⲁ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϣⲉⲡ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ.
2 So when Peter [and the six other believers] returned [from Caesarea] to Jerusalem, [some] Jewish believers criticized Peter, [because they thought that Jews should not associate with non-Jews] [MTY].

3 They said to him, “Not only was it wrong for you(sg) to visit non-Jewish people, you [even] ate with them!”

4 So Peter began to explain exactly [what had happened concerning Cornelius].

5 He said, “I was praying [by myself] in Joppa [town], and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw that something like a large sheet was being lowered from heaven. [It was tied with ropes] at its four corners, and it came down to where I was.

6 As I was looking intently into it, I saw some tame animals [but also animals that our laws forbid us to eat, including] wild animals, snakes, and wild birds.

7 Then I heard God [MTY] commanding me, ‘Peter, get up, kill [some of these], and [cook and] eat [their meat]!’
ⲍ̅ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲕⲉ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲛⲕ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲉ ϣⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩⲱⲙ.
8 But I replied, ‘Lord, [you(sg)] surely do not [really want me to do that], because I have never eaten [MTY] meat [from any animal] that [our laws say] that we [(exc)] must not eat [SYN]!’
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲏⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫⲱⲣ Ⲡ⳪ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲉϥϭⲁϧⲉⲙ ⲓⲉ ⲉϥⲥⲟϥ ϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲓ ⳿⳿ⲉⲛⲉϩ.
9 God spoke from heaven [to me] a second time, ‘[I am] God, [so] if I have made something acceptable [to eat], do not say that it is not acceptable [to eat]!’

10 Then [after that happened three times, the sheet with] all [those animals and birds] was pulled up into heaven again.”

11 “At that exact moment, three men who had been {whom [Cornelius] had} sent from Caesarea arrived at the house where I was staying.

12 [God’s] Spirit told me that I should be willing to go with them [even though they were not Jews]. These six [Jewish] believers [from Joppa] went with me [to Caesarea], and then we [(exc)] went into that [non-Jewish] man’s house.

13 He told us that he had seen an angel standing in his house. The angel told him, ‘Tell some [men] to go to Joppa and bring back Simon whose other name is Peter.

15 After I started to speak, the Holy Spirit [suddenly] came down on them, just like he had first [MTY] come on us [during the Pentecost festival].

16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John caused people to be baptized in water, but [God] will cause the Holy Spirit [to enter you and change your lives.’]
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲓⲉⲣ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲛⲁϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ Ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁϥϯⲱⲙⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁ⳿ⲉⲙⲥ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲃ.
17 God gave those non-Jews the same Holy Spirit that he had given to us [(inc)] after we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. So, ([I] could not [possibly] tell God that he did wrong [when he gave them the Holy Spirit!]/how could I [tell] God that he did wrong [when he gave them the Holy Spirit]?) [RHQ] [He was showing that he had received them]!”

18 After [those Jewish believers] heard what Peter said, they stopped criticizing [him. Instead], they praised God, saying, “Then it is [clear to us that] God has also accepted the non-Jews so that they will have eternal life, if they turn from their sinful behavior [and believe in Jesus]!”

19 After [people had killed] Stephen, many of the believers left [Jerusalem and went] to other places, because people were causing them to suffer [there in Jerusalem. Some of] them went to Phoenicia [region], some went to Cyprus [Island], and others went to Antioch [city in Syria province. In those places] they were continually telling people the message [about Jesus], but they told only other Jewish people.

20 Some of the believers were men from Cyprus and from Cyrene [city in north Africa]. They went to Antioch, and [although they told other Jews about] the Lord Jesus, they also told non-Jewish people [there].

21 The Lord [God] [MTY] was powerfully enabling those [believers to preach effectively. As a result], very many [non-Jewish] people believed [their message and] trusted in the Lord [Jesus].

22 The group of believers in Jerusalem heard [MTY] [people say that many people in Antioch were believing in Jesus. So] the [leaders] of the congregation in [Jerusalem] asked Barnabas to go to Antioch.

23 When he got [there], he realized that God had acted kindly toward [the believers. So] he was very happy, and he continually encouraged all of the [believers] to continue to trust completely in the Lord [Jesus].

24 Barnabas was a good man [whom] the Holy Spirit completely controlled, one who trusted [God] completely. [Because of what Barnabas did], many people [there] believed in the Lord [Jesus].

26 After he found him, Barnabas brought him [back to] Antioch [to help teach the believers. So during] a whole year [Barnabas and Saul] met [regularly] with the congregation [there] and taught many of them [about Jesus. It was] at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians {[that people] first called the believers Christians}.

28 One of them, whose name was Agabus, stood up [in order to speak]. [God’s] Spirit enabled him to prophesy (that there would soon be a famine in many countries/that [people] in many countries [HYP] would soon [suffer because they] would not have enough [food] to eat). (That famine happened when Claudius was the [Roman Emperor].)
