Book 44 : ACTS - Chapter 011
011:001
And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the
circumcision contended with him
011:002
Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat
with them
011:003
But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and
expounded it by order unto them, saying
011:004
I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a
vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great
sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even
to me
011:005
Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered,
and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and
creeping things, and fowls of the air
011:006
And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and
eat
011:007
But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath
at any time entered into my mouth
011:008
But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath
cleansed, that call not thou common
011:009
And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again
into heaven
011:010
And, behold, immediately there were three men already come
unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me
011:011
And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting.
Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered
into the man's house
011:012
And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which
stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for
Simon, whose surname is Peter
011:013
Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house
shall be saved
011:014
And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us
at the beginning
011:015
Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John
indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the
Holy Ghost
011:016
Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto
us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I
could withstand God
011:017
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and
glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles
granted repentance unto life
011:018
Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that
arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus,
and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews
only
011:019
And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when
they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching
the LORD Jesus
011:020
And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number
believed, and turned unto the Lord
011:021
Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church
which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he
should go as far as Antioch
011:022
Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad,
and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would
cleave unto the Lord
011:023
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of
faith: and much people was added unto the Lord
011:024
Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul
011:025
And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it
came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with
the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were
called Christians first in Antioch
011:026
And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch
011:027
And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by
the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all
the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar
011:028
Then the disciples, every man according to his ability,
determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in
Judaea
011:029
Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of
Barnabas and Saul
