1

Nowg1161 the apostlesg652 and  athe brethreng80 who were throughoutg2596 Judeag2453 heardg191 that the Gentilesg1484 alsog2532 had receivedg1209 the wordg3056 of Godg2316.

2

And wheng3753 Peterg4074 cameg305 up to Jerusalemg2419,  1 athoseg3588 who were circumcisedg4061 tookg1252 issueg1252 with him,

3

sayingg3004, " aYou  1wentg1525 to uncircumcisedg203 meng435 and ateg4906 with them."

4

But Peterg4074 begang757 speaking  1and proceeded to explaing1620 to them  ain orderlyg2517 sequenceg2517, sayingg3004,

5

aI was in the cityg4172 of Joppag2445 prayingg4336; and in a tranceg1611 I sawg3708  ba visiong3705, an  1objectg4632 comingg2597 downg2597 likeg5613 a greatg3173 sheetg3607 loweredg2524 by fourg5064 cornersg746 from  2the skyg3772; and it cameg2064 rightg891 down to me,

6

and when I had fixedg816 my gazeg816 on it and was observingg2657 it  1I sawg3708 the four-footedg5074 animalsg5074 of the earthg1093 and the wildg2342 beastsg2342 and the  2crawlingg2062 creaturesg2062 and the birdsg4071 of the  3airg3772.

7

"I alsog2532 heardg191 a voiceg5456 sayingg3004 to me, `Getg450 up, Peterg4074;  1killg2380 and eatg2068.'

8

"But I saidg3004, `By nog3365 meansg3365, Lordg2962, for nothingg3763  1unholyg2839 org2228 uncleang169 has everg3763 enteredg1525 my mouthg4750.'

9

"But a voiceg5456 from heaveng3772 answeredg611 a secondg1208 timeg1208, ` aWhatg3739 Godg2316 has cleansedg2511, nog3361 longer  1considerg2840 unholyg2839.'

10

"Thisg3778 happenedg1096 threeg5151 timesg5151, and everythingg537a was drawng385 backg3825 up into  1the skyg3772.

11

"And beholdg2400, at that momentg1824 threeg5140 meng435 appearedg2186 at the houseg3614 in whichg3739 we were staying, having been sentg649 to me from  aCaesareag2542.

12

aThe Spiritg4151 toldg3004 me to gog4905 with them  1 bwithoutg3367 misgivingsg1252.  cTheseg3778 sixg1803 brethreng80 alsog2532 wentg2064 with me and we enteredg1525 the man'sg435 houseg3624.

13

"And he reportedg518 to us howg4459 he had seeng3708 the angelg32a  1standingg2476 in his houseg3624, and sayingg3004, `Sendg649 to Joppag2445 and have Simong4613, who is also calledg1941 Peterg4074, broughtg3343 hereg3343;

14

and he will speakg2980  awordsg4487 to you by whichg3739 you will be savedg4982, you and  ballg3956 your householdg3624.'

15

"And as I begang757 to speakg2980,  athe Holyg40 Spiritg4151 fellg1968 upon them justg5618  bas He did upon us at the beginningg746.

16

"And I rememberedg3403 the wordg4487 of the Lordg2962, howg5613 He used to sayg3004, aJohng2491 baptizedg907 with waterg5204, but you will be baptizedg907  1with the Holyg40 Spiritg4151.'

17

"Thereforeg3767 ifg1487  aGodg2316 gaveg1325 to them the sameg2470 giftg1431 as He gave to us alsog2532 after believingg4100 in the Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 Christg5547,  bwhog5101 was I that I couldg1415  1standg2967 in God'sg2316 wayg2967?"

18

When they heardg191 thisg3778, they  1quietedg2270 downg2270 and  aglorifiedg1392 Godg2316, sayingg3004, "Wellg686 theng686, Godg2316 has grantedg1325 to the Gentilesg1484 alsog2532 the  brepentanceg3341 that leads to lifeg2222."

The Church at Antioch

19

 aSog3767 theng3767 thoseg3588 who were scatteredg1289 becauseg575 of the  1persecutiong2347 that occurredg1096 in connectiong1909 with Stepheng4736 madeg1330 their wayg1330  2to  bPhoeniciag5403 and  cCyprusg2954 and  dAntiochg490, speakingg2980 the wordg3056 to nog3367 oneg3367 exceptg1508 to Jewsg2453 aloneg3441.

20

But there were someg5100 of them, meng435 of  aCyprusg2953 and  bCyreneg2956, whog3748 cameg2064 to  cAntiochg490 and began speakingg2980 to the  1 dGreeksg1672 alsog2532,  2 epreachingg2097 the Lordg2962 Jesusg2424.

21

And  athe handg5495 of the Lordg2962 was with them, and  ba largeg4183 numberg706 who believedg4100 turnedg1994 to the Lordg2962.

22

The  1newsg3056 aboutg4012 them  2reachedg191 the earsg3775 of the churchg1577 at Jerusalemg2419, and they sentg1821  aBarnabasg921 offg1821  3to  bAntiochg490.

23

Then when he arrivedg3854 and  1witnessedg3708  athe graceg5485 of Godg2316, he rejoicedg5463 and began to encourageg3870 them allg3956 with  2resoluteg4286 heartg2588 to remaing4357 true to the Lordg2962;

24

for he was a goodg18 mang435, and  afullg4134 of the Holyg40 Spiritg4151 and of faithg4102. And  bconsiderableg2425  1numbersg3793 were  2broughtg4369 to the Lordg2962.

25

And he leftg1831 for  aTarsusg5019 to lookg327 for Saulg4569;

26

and when he had foundg2147 him, he broughtg71 him to  aAntiochg490. And for an entireg3650 yearg1763 they  1metg4863 with the churchg1577 and taughtg1321 considerableg2425  2numbersg3793; and  bthe disciplesg3101 were firstg4416b calledg5537  cChristiansg5546 in  aAntiochg490.

27

Nowg1161  1at thisg3778 timeg2250  asome prophetsg4396 cameg2718 downg2718 from Jerusalemg2414 to  bAntiochg490.

28

Oneg1520 of them namedg3686  aAgabusg13 stoodg450 up and began to indicateg4591  1by the Spiritg4151 that there wouldg3195 certainlyg3195 be a greatg3173 famineg3042  ballg3650 overg1909 the  2worldg3625.  3And thisg3748 tookg1096 placeg1096 in the reign of  cClaudiusg2804.

29

And in the proportiong2531a that anyg5100 of  athe disciplesg3101 hadg2141 meansg2141, eachg1538 of them determinedg3724 to sendg3992 a contribution for the  1reliefg1248 of  bthe brethreng80 livingg2730 in Judeag2453.

30

 aAnd thisg3739 they didg4160, sendingg649 it  1in chargeg1223g5495 of  bBarnabasg921 and Saulg4569 to the  celdersg4245.
