11:1	Nowe the Apostles and the brethren that were in Iudea, heard, that the Gentiles had also receiued the worde of God.
11:2	And when Peter was come vp to Hierusalem, they of the circumcision contended against him,
11:3	Saying, Thou wentest in to men vncircumcised, and hast eaten with them.
11:4	Then Peter beganne, and expounded the thing in order to them, saying,
11:5	I was in the citie of Ioppa, praying, and in a trance I sawe this vision, A certaine vessell comming downe as it had bene a great sheete, let downe from heauen by the foure corners, and it came to me.
11:6	Towarde the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and sawe foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes, and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.
11:7	Also I heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Arise, Peter: slay and eate.
11:8	And I said, God forbid, Lord: for nothing polluted or vncleane hath at any time entred into my mouth.
11:9	But the voyce answered me the seconde time from heauen, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.
11:10	And this was done three times, and all were taken vp againe into heauen.
11:11	Then behold, immediatly there were three men already come vnto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea vnto me.
11:12	And the Spirit saide vnto me, that I should go with them, without doubting: moreouer these sixe brethren came with me, and we entred into the mans house.
11:13	And he shewed vs, howe he had seene an Angel in his house, which stoode and said to him, Send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.
11:14	He shall speake wordes vnto thee, whereby both thou and all thine house shalbe saued.
11:15	And as I began to speake, the holy Ghost fell on them, euen as vpon vs at the beginning.
11:16	Then I remembred the word of the Lord, howe he said, Iohn baptized with water, but ye shalbe baptized with the holy Ghost.
11:17	For as much then as God gaue them a like gift, as he did vnto vs, when we beleeued in the Lord Iesus Christ, who was I, that I coulde let God?
11:18	When they heard these things, they helde their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles graunted repentance vnto life.
11:19	And they which were scattered abroade because of the affliction that arose about Steuen, went throughout till they came vnto Phenice and Cyprus, and Antiochia, preaching the worde to no man, but vnto the Iewes onely.
11:20	Now some of them were men of Cyprus and of Cyrene, which when they were come into Antiochia, spake vnto the Grecians, and preached the Lord Iesus.
11:21	And the hand of the Lord was with them, so that a great number beleeued and turned vnto the Lord.
11:22	Then tydings of those things came vnto the eares of the Church, which was in Hierusalem, and they sent foorth Barnabas, that he should goe vnto Antiochia.
11:23	Who when he was come and had seene the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted all, that with purpose of heart they would continue in the Lord.
11:24	For he was a good man, and full of the holy Ghost, and faith, and much people ioyned them selues vnto the Lord.
11:25	Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus to seeke Saul:
11:26	And when he had founde him, he brought him vnto Antiochia: and it came to passe that a whole yere they were conuersant with ye Church, and taught much people, in so much that the disciples were first called Christians in Antiochia.
11:27	In those dayes also came Prophets from Hierusalem vnto Antiochia.
11:28	And there stoode vp one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit, that there should be great famine throughout all the world, which also came to passe vnder Claudius Cesar.
11:29	Then the disciples, euery man according to his ability, purposed to sende succour vnto the brethren which dwelt in Iudea.
11:30	Which thing they also did, and sent it to the Elders, by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.


11:1	Now the apostles and brethren who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
11:2	And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
11:3	saying, "You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!"
11:4	But Peter explained the issue from the beginning, describing it to them in sequence, saying:
11:5	"I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, an object descending just like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came to me.
11:6	On which, when I observed it intently and considered, I saw four footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air.
11:7	And I heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter; kill and eat.'"
11:8	But I said, 'Not so, Lord! Because nothing common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth.'
11:9	But the voice replied to me again from heaven, 'What God has cleansed you must not call that common.'"
11:10	Now this was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11:11	And, behold, immediately there were three men already standing before the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
11:12	Then the Spirit told me to go with them, doubting nothing. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered the man's house.
11:13	And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, 'Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter,
11:14	who will tell you words by which you and all your household will be saved.'
11:15	And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning.
11:16	Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, 'John indeed baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'"
11:17	If therefore God gave them the same gift as He did to us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?"
11:18	When they heard these things they held their peace; and they glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life."
11:19	Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but the Jews only.
11:20	But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.
11:21	And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
11:22	Then news of these things came to the ears of the church that was in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch.
11:23	Who when he came and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord.
11:24	Because, he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And many people were added to the Lord.
11:25	Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek for Saul.
11:26	And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for an entire year they assembled with the church and taught many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
11:27	And in these days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
11:28	Then one of them, named Agabus, stood up and signified by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which occurred in the days of Claudius Caesar.
11:29	Then the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea.
11:30	This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
