Acts

Chapter 11

1 AND the apostles and the brethren who were in Judµa heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

2 And when Simon Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who upheld the circumcision contended with him,

3 Saying he had entered into the houses of uncircumcised men and had eaten with them.

4 Then Simon began to recite the facts one after another, saying,

5 As I was praying in Joppa, I saw in a vision something like a linen cloth descending from the sky, and it was tied at its four corners; and it came even to me.

6 And as I looked at it, I saw that there were in it fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.

7 Then I heard a voice saying to me, Simon, arise, kill and eat.

8 And I said, Far be it, my Lord: for never has anything defiled and unclean entered my mouth.

9 But again the voice from heaven said to me, What God has cleansed, do not call unclean.

10 This happened three times: then everything was lifted up into heaven.

11 And in that very hour, three men who were sent to me by Cornelius from Cµs-are'a came and stood at the gate of the courtyard where I was staying.

12 And the spirit said to me, Go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered the man's house.

13 And he related to us how he had seen an angel in his house, who stood and said to him, Send to the city of Joppa, and bring Simon who is called Peter;

14 And he shall speak to you words by which you and all of your household shall be saved.

15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them, as on us at the beginning.

16 Then I remembered that word of our LORD, when he said, John indeed baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

17 Now, therefore, if God has equally given the gifts to the Gentiles who believe in our LORD Jesus Christ, just as he gave to us, who am I that I should dispute God?

18 When they heard these words, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, Perhaps God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance unto life.

19 Now those who had been dispersed by the persecution which occurred on account of Stephen, traveled as far as Phoe-ni'ci-a and even to the land of Cyprus, and to An'tioch, preaching the word to none but to the Jews only.

20 But there were some men among them from Cyprus and from Cyrene; these men entered into An'ti-och and spoke to the Greeks and preached concerning our LORD Jesus.

21 And the hand of the LORD was with them: and a great number believed, and turned to the LORD.

22 Then tidings of these things came to the attention of the members of the congregation at Jerusalem: and they sent Bar'nabas to An'ti-och.

23 When he came there and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he pleaded with them that they should follow our LORD with all their hearts.

24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and many people were added to our LORD.

25 Then Bar'na-bas departed to Tar'sus, to seek for Saul.

26 And when he had found him, he brought him to An'ti-och. And for the whole year they assembled together in the church, and taught a great many people. The disciples were called Christians first at An'ti-och and from that time on.

27 And in those days came prophets from Jerusalem to An'ti-och.

28 And one of them, named Ag'a-bus, stood up and foretold by the spirit, that a great famine was to come throughout the land: the famine which occurred in the days of Clau'di-us Cµ'sar.

29 Then the disciples, each one according to his ability, determined to set aside for relief to the brethren who dwelt in Ju-dµ'a.

30 This they did, and sent it there to the elders by the hands of Bar'na-bas and Saul.

Chapter 11

1 And1161 the3588 apostles652 and2532 brethren80 that were5607 in2596 Judea2449 heard191 that3754 the3588 Gentiles1484 had also2532 received1209 the3588 word3056 of God.2316

2 And2532 when3753 Peter4074 was come up305 to1519 Jerusalem,2414 they3588 that were of1537 the circumcision4061 contended1252 with4314 him,846

3 saying,3004 Thou wentest in1525 to4314 men435 uncircumcised,203 and2532 didst eat with4906 them.846

4 But1161 Peter4074 rehearsed the matter from the beginning,756 and expounded1620 it by order2517 unto them,846 saying,3004

5 I1473 was2252 in1722 the city4172 of Joppa2445 praying:4336 and2532 in1722 a trance1611 I saw1492 a vision,3705 A certain5100 vessel4632 descend,2597 as it had been5613 a great3173 sheet,3607 let down2524 from1537 heaven3772 by four5064 corners;746 and2532 it came2064 even to891 me: 1700

6 Upon1519 the which3739 when I had fastened mine eyes,816 I considered,2657 and2532 saw1492 fourfooted beasts5074 of the3588 earth,1093 and2532 wild beasts,2342 and2532 creeping things,2062 and2532 fowls4071 of the3588 air.3772

7 And1161 I heard191 a voice5456 saying3004 unto me,3427 Arise,450 Peter;4074 slay2380 and2532 eat.5315

8 But1161 I said,2036 Not so,3365 Lord:2962 for3754 nothing3956 common2839 or2228 unclean169 hath at any time3763 entered1525 into1519 my3450 mouth.4750

9 But1161 the voice5456 answered611 me3427 again1537 1208 from1537 heaven,3772 What3739 God2316 hath cleansed,2511 that call not thou common.2840 3361 4771

10 And1161 this5124 was done1096 three times:5151 and2532 all537 were drawn up385 again3825 into1519 heaven.3772

11 And,2532 behold,2400 immediately1824 there were three5140 men435 already come2186 unto1909 the3588 house3614 where1722 3739 I was,2252 sent649 from575 Caesarea2542 unto4314 me.3165

12 And1161 the3588 Spirit4151 bade2036 me3427 go with4905 them,846 nothing3367 doubting.1252 Moreover1161 these3778 six1803 brethren80 2532 accompanied2064 4862 me,1698 and2532 we entered1525 into1519 the3588 man's435 house: 3624

13 And5037 he showed518 us2254 how4459 he had seen1492 an angel32 in1722 his846 house,3624 which stood2476 and2532 said2036 unto him,846 Send649 men435 to1519 Joppa,2445 and2532 call for3343 Simon,4613 whose surname is1941 Peter;4074

14 Who3739 shall tell2980 thee4571 words,4487 whereby1722 3739 thou4771 and2532 all3956 thy4675 house3624 shall be saved.4982

15 And1161 as I3165 began756 to speak,2980 the3588 Holy40 Ghost4151 fell1968 on1909 them,846 as5618 2532 on1909 us2248 at1722 the beginning.746

16 Then1161 remembered3415 I the3588 word4487 of the Lord,2962 how5613 that he said,3004 John2491 indeed3303 baptized907 with water;5204 but1161 ye5210 shall be baptized907 with1722 the Holy40 Ghost.4151

17 Forasmuch1487 then3767 as God2316 gave1325 them846 the3588 like2470 gift1431 as5613 he did2532 unto us,2254 who believed4100 on1909 the3588 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ;5547 what5101 was2252 I, that I could1415 withstand2967 God?2316

18 When1161 they heard191 these things,5023 they held their peace,2270 and2532 glorified1392 God,2316 saying,3004 Then686 hath1065 God2316 also2532 to the3588 Gentiles1484 granted1325 repentance3341 unto1519 life.2222

19 Now3767 they which were scattered abroad1289 3303 upon575 the3588 persecution2347 that arose1096 about1909 Stephen4736 traveled1330 as far as2193 Phoenicia,5403 and2532 Cyprus,2954 and2532 Antioch,490 preaching2980 the3588 word3056 to none3367 but1508 unto the Jews2453 only.3440

20 And1161 some5100 of1537 them846 were2258 men435 of Cyprus2953 and2532 Cyrene,2956 which,3748 when they were come1525 to1519 Antioch,490 spake2980 unto4314 the3588 Grecians,1675 preaching2097 the3588 Lord2962 Jesus.2424

21 And2532 the hand5495 of the Lord2962 was2258 with3326 them:846 and5037 a great4183 number706 believed,4100 and turned1994 unto1909 the3588 Lord.2962

22 Then1161 tidings of these things came3056 4012 846 191 unto1519 the3588 ears3775 of the3588 church1577 which3588 was in1722 Jerusalem:2414 and2532 they sent forth1821 Barnabas,921 that he should go1330 as far as2193 Antioch.490

23 Who,3739 when he came,3854 and2532 had seen1492 the3588 grace5485 of God,2316 was glad,5463 and2532 exhorted3870 them all,3956 that with purpose4286 of heart2588 they would cleave unto4357 the3588 Lord.2962

24 For3754 he was2258 a good18 man,435 and2532 full4134 of the Holy40 Ghost4151 and2532 of faith:4102 and2532 much2425 people3793 was added4369 unto the3588 Lord.2962

25 Then1161 departed1831 Barnabas921 to1519 Tarsus,5019 for to seek327 Saul: 4569

26 And2532 when he had found2147 him,846 he brought71 him846 unto1519 Antioch.490 And1161 it came to pass,1096 that a whole3650 year1763 they846 assembled themselves4863 with1722 the3588 church,1577 and2532 taught1321 much2425 people.3793 And5037 the3588 disciples3101 were called5537 Christians5546 first4412 in1722 Antioch.490

27 And1161 in1722 these5025 days2250 came2718 prophets4396 from575 Jerusalem2414 unto1519 Antioch.490

28 And1161 there stood up450 one1520 of1537 them846 named3686 Agabus,13 and signified4591 by1223 the3588 spirit4151 that there should3195 be1510 great3173 dearth3042 throughout1909 all3650 the3588 world:3625 which3748 2532 came to pass1096 in the days of1909 Claudius2804 Caesar.2541

29 Then1161 the3588 disciples,3101 every man1538 according to2531 his ability,5100 2141 determined3724 to send3992 relief1519 1248 unto the3588 brethren80 which dwelt2730 in1722 Judea: 2449

30 Which3739 also2532 they did,4160 and sent649 it to4314 the3588 elders4245 by1223 the hands5495 of Barnabas921 and2532 Saul.4569

1 And1161 the3588 apostles652 and2532 brethren80 that were5607 in2596 Judea2449 heard191 that3754 the3588 Gentiles1484 had also2532 received1209 the3588 word3056 of God.2316

2 And when Simon Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who upheld the circumcision contended with him,

2 And2532 when3753 Peter4074 was come up305 to1519 Jerusalem,2414 they3588 that were of1537 the circumcision4061 contended1252 with4314 him,846

3 Saying he had entered into the houses of uncircumcised men and had eaten with them.

3 saying,3004 Thou wentest in1525 to4314 men435 uncircumcised,203 and2532 didst eat with4906 them.846

4 Then Simon began to recite the facts one after another, saying,

4 But1161 Peter4074 rehearsed the matter from the beginning,756 and expounded1620 it by order2517 unto them,846 saying,3004

5 As I was praying in Joppa, I saw in a vision something like a linen cloth descending from the sky, and it was tied at its four corners; and it came even to me.

5 I1473 was2252 in1722 the city4172 of Joppa2445 praying:4336 and2532 in1722 a trance1611 I saw1492 a vision,3705 A certain5100 vessel4632 descend,2597 as it had been5613 a great3173 sheet,3607 let down2524 from1537 heaven3772 by four5064 corners;746 and2532 it came2064 even to891 me: 1700

6 And as I looked at it, I saw that there were in it fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.

6 Upon1519 the which3739 when I had fastened mine eyes,816 I considered,2657 and2532 saw1492 fourfooted beasts5074 of the3588 earth,1093 and2532 wild beasts,2342 and2532 creeping things,2062 and2532 fowls4071 of the3588 air.3772

7 Then I heard a voice saying to me, Simon, arise, kill and eat.

7 And1161 I heard191 a voice5456 saying3004 unto me,3427 Arise,450 Peter;4074 slay2380 and2532 eat.5315

8 And I said, Far be it, my Lord: for never has anything defiled and unclean entered my mouth.

8 But1161 I said,2036 Not so,3365 Lord:2962 for3754 nothing3956 common2839 or2228 unclean169 hath at any time3763 entered1525 into1519 my3450 mouth.4750

9 But again the voice from heaven said to me, What God has cleansed, do not call unclean.

9 But1161 the voice5456 answered611 me3427 again1537 1208 from1537 heaven,3772 What3739 God2316 hath cleansed,2511 that call not thou common.2840 3361 4771

10 This happened three times: then everything was lifted up into heaven.

10 And1161 this5124 was done1096 three times:5151 and2532 all537 were drawn up385 again3825 into1519 heaven.3772

11 And in that very hour, three men who were sent to me by Cornelius from Cµs-are'a came and stood at the gate of the courtyard where I was staying.

11 And,2532 behold,2400 immediately1824 there were three5140 men435 already come2186 unto1909 the3588 house3614 where1722 3739 I was,2252 sent649 from575 Caesarea2542 unto4314 me.3165

12 And the spirit said to me, Go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered the man's house.

12 And1161 the3588 Spirit4151 bade2036 me3427 go with4905 them,846 nothing3367 doubting.1252 Moreover1161 these3778 six1803 brethren80 2532 accompanied2064 4862 me,1698 and2532 we entered1525 into1519 the3588 man's435 house: 3624

13 And he related to us how he had seen an angel in his house, who stood and said to him, Send to the city of Joppa, and bring Simon who is called Peter;

13 And5037 he showed518 us2254 how4459 he had seen1492 an angel32 in1722 his846 house,3624 which stood2476 and2532 said2036 unto him,846 Send649 men435 to1519 Joppa,2445 and2532 call for3343 Simon,4613 whose surname is1941 Peter;4074

14 And he shall speak to you words by which you and all of your household shall be saved.

14 Who3739 shall tell2980 thee4571 words,4487 whereby1722 3739 thou4771 and2532 all3956 thy4675 house3624 shall be saved.4982

15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them, as on us at the beginning.

15 And1161 as I3165 began756 to speak,2980 the3588 Holy40 Ghost4151 fell1968 on1909 them,846 as5618 2532 on1909 us2248 at1722 the beginning.746

16 Then I remembered that word of our LORD, when he said, John indeed baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

16 Then1161 remembered3415 I the3588 word4487 of the Lord,2962 how5613 that he said,3004 John2491 indeed3303 baptized907 with water;5204 but1161 ye5210 shall be baptized907 with1722 the Holy40 Ghost.4151

17 Now, therefore, if God has equally given the gifts to the Gentiles who believe in our LORD Jesus Christ, just as he gave to us, who am I that I should dispute God?

17 Forasmuch1487 then3767 as God2316 gave1325 them846 the3588 like2470 gift1431 as5613 he did2532 unto us,2254 who believed4100 on1909 the3588 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ;5547 what5101 was2252 I, that I could1415 withstand2967 God?2316

18 When they heard these words, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, Perhaps God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance unto life.

18 When1161 they heard191 these things,5023 they held their peace,2270 and2532 glorified1392 God,2316 saying,3004 Then686 hath1065 God2316 also2532 to the3588 Gentiles1484 granted1325 repentance3341 unto1519 life.2222

19 Now those who had been dispersed by the persecution which occurred on account of Stephen, traveled as far as Phoe-ni'ci-a and even to the land of Cyprus, and to An'tioch, preaching the word to none but to the Jews only.

19 Now3767 they which were scattered abroad1289 3303 upon575 the3588 persecution2347 that arose1096 about1909 Stephen4736 traveled1330 as far as2193 Phoenicia,5403 and2532 Cyprus,2954 and2532 Antioch,490 preaching2980 the3588 word3056 to none3367 but1508 unto the Jews2453 only.3440

20 But there were some men among them from Cyprus and from Cyrene; these men entered into An'ti-och and spoke to the Greeks and preached concerning our LORD Jesus.

20 And1161 some5100 of1537 them846 were2258 men435 of Cyprus2953 and2532 Cyrene,2956 which,3748 when they were come1525 to1519 Antioch,490 spake2980 unto4314 the3588 Grecians,1675 preaching2097 the3588 Lord2962 Jesus.2424

21 And the hand of the LORD was with them: and a great number believed, and turned to the LORD.

21 And2532 the hand5495 of the Lord2962 was2258 with3326 them:846 and5037 a great4183 number706 believed,4100 and turned1994 unto1909 the3588 Lord.2962

22 Then tidings of these things came to the attention of the members of the congregation at Jerusalem: and they sent Bar'nabas to An'ti-och.

22 Then1161 tidings of these things came3056 4012 846 191 unto1519 the3588 ears3775 of the3588 church1577 which3588 was in1722 Jerusalem:2414 and2532 they sent forth1821 Barnabas,921 that he should go1330 as far as2193 Antioch.490

23 When he came there and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he pleaded with them that they should follow our LORD with all their hearts.

23 Who,3739 when he came,3854 and2532 had seen1492 the3588 grace5485 of God,2316 was glad,5463 and2532 exhorted3870 them all,3956 that with purpose4286 of heart2588 they would cleave unto4357 the3588 Lord.2962

24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and many people were added to our LORD.

24 For3754 he was2258 a good18 man,435 and2532 full4134 of the Holy40 Ghost4151 and2532 of faith:4102 and2532 much2425 people3793 was added4369 unto the3588 Lord.2962

25 Then Bar'na-bas departed to Tar'sus, to seek for Saul.

25 Then1161 departed1831 Barnabas921 to1519 Tarsus,5019 for to seek327 Saul: 4569

26 And when he had found him, he brought him to An'ti-och. And for the whole year they assembled together in the church, and taught a great many people. The disciples were called Christians first at An'ti-och and from that time on.

26 And2532 when he had found2147 him,846 he brought71 him846 unto1519 Antioch.490 And1161 it came to pass,1096 that a whole3650 year1763 they846 assembled themselves4863 with1722 the3588 church,1577 and2532 taught1321 much2425 people.3793 And5037 the3588 disciples3101 were called5537 Christians5546 first4412 in1722 Antioch.490

27 And in those days came prophets from Jerusalem to An'ti-och.

27 And1161 in1722 these5025 days2250 came2718 prophets4396 from575 Jerusalem2414 unto1519 Antioch.490

28 And one of them, named Ag'a-bus, stood up and foretold by the spirit, that a great famine was to come throughout the land: the famine which occurred in the days of Clau'di-us Cµ'sar.

28 And1161 there stood up450 one1520 of1537 them846 named3686 Agabus,13 and signified4591 by1223 the3588 spirit4151 that there should3195 be1510 great3173 dearth3042 throughout1909 all3650 the3588 world:3625 which3748 2532 came to pass1096 in the days of1909 Claudius2804 Caesar.2541

29 Then the disciples, each one according to his ability, determined to set aside for relief to the brethren who dwelt in Ju-dµ'a.

29 Then1161 the3588 disciples,3101 every man1538 according to2531 his ability,5100 2141 determined3724 to send3992 relief1519 1248 unto the3588 brethren80 which dwelt2730 in1722 Judea: 2449

30 This they did, and sent it there to the elders by the hands of Bar'na-bas and Saul.

30 Which3739 also2532 they did,4160 and sent649 it to4314 the3588 elders4245 by1223 the hands5495 of Barnabas921 and2532 Saul.4569
