And{G1161} the apostles{G652} and{G2532} brethren{G80} that were{G5607}{(G5752)} in{G2596} Judaea{G2449} heard{G191}{(G5656)} that{G3754} the Gentiles{G1484} had{G1209} also{G2532} received{G1209}{(G5662)} the word{G3056} of God{G2316}.

And{G2532} when{G3753} Peter{G4074} was come up{G305}{(G5627)} to{G1519} Jerusalem{G2414}, they that were of{G1537} the circumcision{G4061} contended{G1252}{(G5710)} with{G4314} him{G846},

Saying{G3004}{(G5723)},{G3754} Thou wentest in{G1525}{(G5627)} to{G4314} men{G435} uncircumcised{G203}{G2192}{(G5723)}, and{G2532} didst eat{G4906}{(G5627)} with them{G846}.

But{G1161} Peter{G4074} rehearsed the matter from the beginning{G756}{(G5671)}, and expounded{G1620}{(G5710)} it by order{G2517} unto them{G846}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)},

I{G1473} was{G2252}{(G5713)} in{G1722} the city{G4172} of Joppa{G2445} praying{G4336}{(G5740)}: and{G2532} in{G1722} a trance{G1611} I saw{G1492}{(G5627)} a vision{G3705}, A certain{G5100} vessel{G4632} descend{G2597}{(G5723)}, as it had been{G5613} a great{G3173} sheet{G3607}, let down{G2524}{(G5746)} from{G1537} heaven{G3772} by four{G5064} corners{G746}; and{G2532} it came{G2064}{(G5627)} even{G891} to me{G1700}:

Upon{G1519} the which{G3739} when I had fastened mine eyes{G816}{(G5660)}, I considered{G2657}{(G5707)}, and{G2532} saw{G1492}{(G5627)} fourfooted beasts{G5074} of the earth{G1093}, and{G2532} wild beasts{G2342}, and{G2532} creeping things{G2062}, and{G2532} fowls{G4071} of the air{G3772}.

And{G1161} I heard{G191}{(G5656)} a voice{G5456} saying{G3004}{(G5723)} unto me{G3427}, Arise{G450}{(G5631)}, Peter{G4074}; slay{G2380}{(G5657)} and{G2532} eat{G5315}{(G5628)}.

But{G1161} I said{G2036}{(G5627)}, Not so{G3365}, Lord{G2962}: for{G3754} nothing{G3956} common{G2839} or{G2228} unclean{G169} hath{G1525} at any time{G3763} entered{G1525}{(G5627)} into{G1519} my{G3450} mouth{G4750}.

But{G1161} the voice{G5456} answered{G611}{(G5662)} me{G3427} again{G1537}{G1208} from{G1537} heaven{G3772}, What{G3739} God{G2316} hath cleansed{G2511}{(G5656)}, that call{G2840} not{G3361} thou{G4771} common{G2840}{(G5720)}.

And{G1161} this{G5124} was done{G1096}{(G5633)}{G1909} three times{G5151}: and{G2532} all{G537} were drawn up{G385}{(G5681)} again{G3825} into{G1519} heaven{G3772}.

And{G2532}, behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, immediately{G1824} there were{G2186} three{G5140} men{G435} already{G1824} come{G2186}{(G5627)} unto{G1909} the house{G3614} where{G1722}{G3739}{G3739} I was{G2252}{(G5713)}, sent{G649}{(G5772)} from{G575} Caesarea{G2542} unto{G4314} me{G3165}.

And{G1161} the Spirit{G4151} bade{G2036}{(G5627)} me{G3427} go with{G4905}{(G5629)} them{G846}, nothing{G3367} doubting{G1252}{(G5734)}. Moreover{G1161}{G2532} these{G3778} six{G1803} brethren{G80} accompanied{G4862}{G2064}{(G5627)} me{G1698}, and{G2532} we entered{G1525}{(G5627)} into{G1519} the man's{G435} house{G3624}:

And{G5037} he shewed{G518}{(G5656)} us{G2254} how{G4459} he had seen{G1492}{(G5627)} an angel{G32} in{G1722} his{G846} house{G3624}, which stood{G2476}{(G5685)} and{G2532} said{G2036}{(G5631)} unto him{G846}, Send{G649}{(G5657)} men{G435} to{G1519} Joppa{G2445}, and{G2532} call for{G3343}{(G5663)} Simon{G4613}, whose surname is{G1941}{(G5746)} Peter{G4074};

Who{G3739} shall tell{G2980}{(G5692)} thee{G4314}{G4571} words{G4487}, whereby{G1722}{G3739} thou{G4771} and{G2532} all{G3956} thy{G4675} house{G3624} shall be saved{G4982}{(G5701)}.

And{G1161} as{G1722} I{G3165} began{G756}{(G5670)} to speak{G2980}{(G5721)}, the Holy{G40} Ghost{G4151} fell{G1968}{(G5627)} on{G1909} them{G846}, as{G5618}{G2532} on{G1909} us{G2248} at{G1722} the beginning{G746}.

Then{G1161} remembered I{G3415}{(G5681)} the word{G4487} of the Lord{G2962}, how{G5613} that he said{G3004}{(G5707)}, John{G2491} indeed{G3303} baptized{G907}{(G5656)} with water{G5204}; but{G1161} ye{G5210} shall be baptized{G907}{(G5701)} with{G1722} the Holy{G40} Ghost{G4151}.

Forasmuch{G1487} then{G3767} as{G5613} God{G2316} gave{G1325}{(G5656)} them{G846} the like{G2470} gift{G1431} as{G2532} he did unto us{G2254}, who believed{G4100}{(G5660)} on{G1909} the Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547};{G1161} what{G5101} was{G2252}{(G5713)} I{G1473}, that I could{G1415} withstand{G2967}{(G5658)} God{G2316}?

When{G1161} they heard{G191}{(G5660)} these things{G5023}, they held their peace{G2270}{(G5656)}, and{G2532} glorified{G1392}{(G5707)} God{G2316}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, Then{G686} hath{G1325} God{G2316} also{G2534} to the Gentiles{G1484} granted{G1325}{(G5656)} repentance{G3341} unto{G1519} life{G2222}.

Now{G3767}{G3303} they which were scattered abroad{G1289}{(G5651)} upon{G575} the persecution{G2347} that arose{G1096}{(G5637)} about{G1909} Stephen{G4736} travelled{G1330}{(G5627)} as far as{G2193} Phenice{G5403}, and{G2532} Cyprus{G2954}, and{G2532} Antioch{G490}, preaching{G2980}{(G5723)} the word{G3056} to none{G3367} but{G1508} unto the Jews{G2453} only{G3440}.

And{G1161} some{G5100} of{G1537} them{G846} were{G2258}{(G5713)} men{G435} of Cyprus{G2953} and{G2532} Cyrene{G2956}, which{G3748}, when they were come{G1525}{(G5631)} to{G1519} Antioch{G490}, spake{G2980}{(G5707)} unto{G4314} the Grecians{G1675}, preaching{G2097}{(G5734)} the Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424}.

And{G2532} the hand{G5495} of the Lord{G2962} was{G2258}{(G5713)} with{G3326} them{G846}: and{G5037} a great{G4183} number{G706} believed{G4100}{(G5660)}, and turned{G1994}{(G5656)} unto{G1909} the Lord{G2962}.

Then{G1161} tidings{G3056} of{G4012} these things{G846} came{G191}{(G5681)} unto{G1519} the ears{G3775} of the church{G1577} which{G3588} was in{G1722} Jerusalem{G2414}: and{G2532} they sent forth{G1821}{(G5656)} Barnabas{G921}, that he should go{G1330}{(G5629)} as far as{G2193} Antioch{G490}.

Who{G3739}, when he came{G3854}{(G5637)}, and{G2532} had seen{G1492}{(G5631)} the grace{G5485} of God{G2316}, was glad{G5463}{(G5644)}, and{G2532} exhorted{G3870}{(G5707)} them all{G3956}, that with purpose{G4286} of heart{G2588} they would cleave unto{G4357}{(G5721)} the Lord{G2962}.

For{G3754} he was{G2258}{(G5713)} a good{G18} man{G435}, and{G2532} full{G4134} of the Holy{G40} Ghost{G4151} and{G2532} of faith{G4102}: and{G2532} much{G2425} people{G3793} was added{G4369}{(G5681)} unto the Lord{G2962}.

Then{G1161} departed{G1831}{(G5627)} Barnabas{G921} to{G1519} Tarsus{G5019}, for to seek{G327}{(G5658)} Saul{G4569}:

And{G2532} when he had found{G2147}{(G5631)} him{G846}, he brought{G71}{(G5627)} him{G846} unto{G1519} Antioch{G490}. And{G1161} it came to pass{G1096}{(G5633)}, that a whole{G3650} year{G1763} they{G846} assembled themselves{G4863}{(G5683)} with{G1722} the church{G1577}, and{G2532} taught{G1321}{(G5658)} much{G2425} people{G3793}. And{G5037} the disciples{G3101} were called{G5537}{(G5658)} Christians{G5546} first{G4412} in{G1722} Antioch{G490}.

And{G1161} in{G1722} these{G5025} days{G2250} came{G2718}{(G5627)} prophets{G4396} from{G575} Jerusalem{G2414} unto{G1519} Antioch{G490}.

And{G1161} there stood up{G450}{(G5631)} one{G1520} of{G1537} them{G846} named{G3686} Agabus{G13}, and signified{G4591}{(G5656)} by{G1223} the Spirit{G4151} that there should be{G3195}{(G5721)}{G1510}{(G5705)} great{G3173} dearth{G3042} throughout{G1909} all{G3650} the world{G3625}: which{G3748}{G2532} came to pass{G1096}{(G5633)} in the days of{G1909} Claudius{G2804} Caesar{G2541}.

Then{G1161} the disciples{G3101}, every{G1538} man{G846} according to{G2531} his ability{G2141}{(G5711)}{G5100}, determined{G3724}{(G5656)} to send{G3992}{(G5658)} relief{G1248} unto{G1519} the brethren{G80} which dwelt{G2730}{(G5723)} in{G1722} Judaea{G2449}:

Which{G3739} also{G2532} they did{G4160}{(G5656)}, and sent it{G649}{(G5660)} to{G4314} the elders{G4245} by{G1223} the hands{G5495} of Barnabas{G921} and{G2532} Saul{G4569}.
