BLB ACTs Chapter 11

11 Now the apostles and the brothers being in Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2 And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision began contending with him, 3 saying, "You went to men having uncircumcision, and ate with them." 4 Now Peter having begun, set forth to them in order, saying, 5 "I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel like a great sheet descending, being let down out of heaven by four corners, and it came down as far as me. 6 Having looked intently on it, 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 And also I heard a voice saying to me, 'Having risen up, Peter, kill and eat.' 8 But I said, 'In no way, Lord. For nothing ever common or unclean has entered into my mouth.' 9 But for a second time the voice answered out of heaven, 'What God has cleansed, you do not call unholy.' 10 Now this happened on three times, and all was drawn up into heaven again. 11 And behold, immediately three men having been sent to me from Caesarea stood at the house in which I was. 12 Now the Spirit told me to go with them, not having discriminated. Now these six brothers also went with me, and we entered into the man's house, 13 and he related to us how he had seen the angel having stood in his house and having said, 'Send forth to Joppa, and send for Simon who is called Peter, 14 who will speak words to you in which will be saved, you and all your household.' 15 And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, even as also upon us in the beginning. 16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said, 'John indeed baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.' 17 If then God has given to them the same gift as also to us having believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, how was I able to forbid God?" 18 And having heard these things, they were silent and glorified God, saying, "Then indeed God has given also to the Gentiles repentance unto life." 19 So indeed those having been scattered by the tribulation having taken place over Stephen passed through to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews alone. 20 But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having come into Antioch, were speaking also to the Hellenists, proclaiming the gospel--the Lord Jesus. 21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number, having believed, turned to the Lord. 22 Now the report concerning them was heard in the ears of the church being in Jerusalem, and they sent forth Barnabas to go as far as Antioch, 23 who having come and having seen the grace of God, rejoiced and was exhorting all to abide in the Lord with resolute purpose of heart. 24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a large crowd was added to the Lord. 25 And he went forth to Tarsus to seek Saul, 26 and having found him, he brought him to Antioch. Now it came to pass that they also gathered together an entire year in the church, and taught a large crowd. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians. 27 Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 And one of them named Agabus, having risen up, signified by the Spirit that a great famine is about to be over the whole world--which came to pass under Claudius. 29 And the disciples, as anyone was prospered, each of them determined to send for ministry to the brothers dwelling in Judea, 30 which also they did, having sent it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
