who

the nations
did
receive
the word of God ,

and
when Peter came
up to Jerusalem, those
of
the circumcision
were
contending
with him ,
So
when Peter went
up to Jerusalem, the circumcised
believers
took
issue
with him
saying
--
`Unto
men
uncircumcised
thou
didst
go
in
, and didst
eat
with them !'
and
said
, “You
visited
uncircumcised
men
and ate
with them .”
And
Peter having
begun,
did
expound
to them in
order
saying,
But
Peter began
and
explained
to them the
whole
sequence
of
events:
`
I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I
saw
in a trance a vision ,
a
certain
vessel
coming
down,
as
a great
sheet by
four
corners
being let down out
of
the
heaven, and it came unto
me ;
“
I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I
saw
a vision of
something
like
a large
sheet being let down from
heaven by
its
four
corners
, and it came right
down
to
me .
at
which
having
looked
stedfastly,
I was
considering,
and I
saw the
four-footed beasts
of the earth, and
the
wild beasts, and
the
creeping
things
, and the
fowls
of heaven;
I looked
at
it
closely
and saw four-footed animals
of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles
, and birds
of the
air.
and
I heard a voice saying to me, Having
risen
, Peter, slay
and eat ;
Then
I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get
up
, Peter, kill
and eat .’
and
I said, Not
so,
Lord;
because
anything
common
or unclean hath
at
no
time
entered into
my mouth ;
‘No,
Lord,’
I said, ‘for
nothing
impure
or unclean has
ever
entered my mouth .’
and
a
voice did
answer
me
a second time out
of
the
heaven
, What
God
did
cleanse,
thou
--
declare
not thou
common
.
But
the
voice spoke
from
heaven
a second time, ‘Do
not call
anything
impure
that
God
has
made
clean
. ’
`And
this happened thrice
, and again
was all
drawn up to
the
heaven ,
This happened three
times
, and everything
was drawn back
up into
heaven .
and,
lo,
immediately,
three men stood
at the house in
which
I was ,
having
been
sent
from
Cesarea
unto
me,
Just
then
three men sent
to
me
from
Caesarea
stopped
at the house where
I was staying.
and
the Spirit said
to
me to go
with
them ,
nothing
doubting,
and
these six brethren
also went with me, and we did
enter
into
the
house
of
the man,
The Spirit told
me to accompany
them without
hesitation.
These six brothers
also went with me, and we entered
the man’s
home.
he declared
also
to
us how he saw
the
messenger
in his house standing,
and saying to
him
, Send men
to Joppa ,
and
call
for Simon ,
who is surnamed
Peter ,
He told
us how he had
seen
an
angel
standing
in his house and saying, ‘
Send to Joppa for Simon who is called
Peter .
who
shall
speak
sayings
by which thou
shalt
be
saved,
thou
and all thy
house
.
He
will
convey
to
you
a
message
by which you
and all your
household
will
be
saved
. ’
`And
in
my
beginning
to speak, the Holy Spirit did
fall
upon them, even
as also
upon us in
the beginning ,
As
I
began
to speak, the Holy Spirit fell
upon them, just
as He
had
fallen
upon us at
the beginning .
and
I remembered the saying
of the Lord, how
he said
, John indeed
did
baptize
with water, and
ye
shall
be baptized with the Holy Spirit ;
Then
I remembered the word
of the Lord, as
He used
to
say
, ‘
John baptized
with water, but
you
will
be baptized with the Holy Spirit .’
if then
the
equal
gift
God did
give
to
them as
also
to
us ,
having
believed upon
the Lord Jesus Christ, I
--
how
was I able
to withstand
God? '
So
if God gave
them the
same
gift
He
gave
us who
believed in
the Lord Jesus Christ, who
was I to hinder
the
work
of
God? ”
And
they ,
having
heard these
things
, were silent
, and were
glorifying
God, saying, `
Then, indeed,
also
to
the
nations
did
God give
the reformation
to
life. '
When
they heard this
, their
objections
were put
to
rest
, and they
glorified
God, saying, “So
then, God has
granted
even
the Gentiles
repentance
unto
life. ”
Those ,
indeed,
therefore,
having
been
scattered abroad,
from
the tribulation
that came
after
Stephen ,
went
through
unto
Phenice
, and
Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word
to
none
except
to Jews only;
Meanwhile
those scattered by
the persecution
that began
with
Stephen traveled
as
far
as
Phoenicia
, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the message

certain
of them men of
Cyprus and Cyrene, who
having
entered
into

were
speaking unto
the Hellenists
, proclaiming good news --
the Lord Jesus ,

of
heart

to the Lord.
