Peter Explains His Actions
11 The apostles and the believers(A) throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.(B) 2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers(C) criticized him 3 and said, “You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them.”(D)
4 Starting from the beginning, Peter told them the whole story: 5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision.(E) I saw something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to where I was. 6 I looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles and birds. 7 Then I heard a voice telling me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
8 “I replied, ‘Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’
9 “The voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’(F) 10 This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.
11 “Right then three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea(G) stopped at the house where I was staying. 12 The Spirit told(H) me to have no hesitation about going with them.(I) These six brothers(J) also went with me, and we entered the man’s house. 13 He told us how he had seen an angel(K) appear in his house and say, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. 14 He will bring you a message(L) through which you and all your household(M) will be saved.’
15 “As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on(N) them as he had come on us at the beginning.(O) 16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with[a] water,(P) but you will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit.’(Q) 17 So if God gave them the same gift(R) he gave us(S) who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?”
18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”(T)
The Church in Antioch
19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that broke out when Stephen was killed(U) traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch,(V) spreading the word only among Jews. 20 Some of them, however, men from Cyprus(W) and Cyrene,(X) went to Antioch(Y) and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news(Z) about the Lord Jesus. 21 The Lord’s hand was with them,(AA) and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.(AB)
22 News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas(AC) to Antioch. 23 When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done,(AD) he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.(AE) 24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit(AF) and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.(AG)
25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus(AH) to look for Saul, 26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples(AI) were called Christians first(AJ) at Antioch.
27 During this time some prophets(AK) came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 One of them, named Agabus,(AL) stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world.(AM) (This happened during the reign of Claudius.)(AN) 29 The disciples,(AO) as each one was able, decided to provide help(AP) for the brothers and sisters(AQ) living in Judea. 30 This they did, sending their gift to the elders(AR) by Barnabas(AS) and Saul.(AT)

King James Version
11 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
4 But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,
5 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:
6 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.
7 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.
12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:
13 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;
14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16 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.
17 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?
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
19 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.
20 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.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
22 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.
23 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.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
26 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.
27 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
28 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.
29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:
30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

Pyè retounen Jerizalèm
11 Apot yo ansanm ak kwayan nan Jide yo te pran nouvèl jan moun ki pa Jwif yo te aksepte Bòn Nouvèl Bondye a. 2 Men, lè Pyè monte Jerizalèm, kèk nan kwayan Jwif[a] yo tonbe kritike l. 3 Yo di l: “Ou antre lakay yon bann moun ki pa sikonsi, epi ou menm manje ansanm ak yo tou!”
4 Konsa, Pyè eksplike yo tout istwa a nèt an detay. Li di konsa: 5 “Se nan lavil Jope mwen te ye, epi pandan m t ap lapriyè, mwen fè yon vizyon. Mwen wè yon bagay ki t ap desann vin jwenn mwen. Li te tankou yon gwo dra mare nan kat pwent ki t ap glise desann sot nan syèl la. Bagay la rive toupre m. 6 Lè m gade ladan l, mwen wè tout kalite bèt kat pat, bèt sovaj, bèt ki trennen sou vant, ansanm ak zwazo. 7 Epi m tande yon vwa ki di m: Pyè, leve! Touye epi manje!
8 Men mwen reponn: M pa ka fè sa, Senyè. M pa janm manje anyen ki pa pwòp osinon ki pa kalite manje m gen dwa manje.
9 Men, vwa a pale ankò nan syèl la li di: Bondye gentan fè bagay sa yo pwòp, pa di yo pa kalite manje ou gen dwa manje!
10 Sa rive pandan twa fwa, apre sa bagay la tounen monte nan syèl la. 11 Epi se kon sa vin gen twa mesye ki kanpe devan pòt kay kote m te fè ladesant lan. Yo te voye yo soti Sezare vin chache m. 12 Sentespri a di m pou m ale avèk yo san m pa doute. Sis frè sa yo te ale avè m lakay Kònèy tou. 13 Kònèy menm rakonte nou kijan l te wè yon anj kanpe devan l anndan lakay li. Zanj lan di l: Voye kèk moun ale Jope al chache Simon, sila a yo rele Pyè a. 14 Pawòl Simon va di w yo ap ede w sove ansanm ak tout moun k ap viv lakay ou.
15 Lè m te kòmanse pale, Sentespri a desann sou yo menm jan li te desann sou nou nan kòmansman an.[b] 16 Epi m vin sonje pawòl Senyè a te di a: Jan batize moun nan dlo, men nou menm nou gen pou n resevwa batèm nan Sentespri a. 17 Konsa, Bondye bay moun sa yo menm kado li te ban nou an lè nou te mete konfyans nou nan Jezikris. Ki lès mwen ye, pou m ta nan kenbe tèt ak Bondye?”
18 Lè kwayan Jwif yo tande pawòl sa yo, yo sispann kritike Pyè epi yo fè lwanj pou Bondye. Yo di: Kidonk Bondye pèmèt menm moun ki pa sikonsi yo repanti pou yo ka gen lavi li bay la.
Bòn Nouvèl la rive Antyòch
19 Kwayan yo te gaye toupatou poutèt pèsekisyon k te kòmanse, lè yo te touye Etyèn nan. Gen ladan yo ki te al jouk Fenisi, Chip ak Antyòch. Malgre sa, nan tout kote sa yo, yo t ap pwoklame mesaj la bay Jwif yo sèlman. 20 Kèk nan kwayan sa yo ki te moun Chip ak Sirèn te ale Antyòch. Lè yo rive la, yo preche moun ki pa Jwif yo[c] Bòn nouvèl Jezikris la. 21 Pouvwa Bondye te akonpanye mesye yo. Konsa, anpil nan moun sa yo te kwè epi yo te deside swiv Senyè a.
22 Lè nouvèl la tonbe nan zòrèy moun yo nan legliz Jerizalèm, yo voye Banabas ale Antyòch. 23 Lè Banabas rive Antyòch, li te wè kijan Bondye t ap beni kwayan yo. Sa te fè l kontan anpil. Li ankouraje yo tout pou yo kenbe fèm epi sèvi Senyè a ak tout kè yo. 24 Banabas sa a, se te yon bon moun. Li te gen anpil lafwa epi l te toujou anba pouvwa Sentespri a. Epi anpil lòt moun te vin disip Senyè a.
25 Apre sa, Banabas ale lavil Tas, l al chache Sòl. 26 Lè l jwenn li, li mennen l vin Antyòch. Banabas ak Sòl pase yon ane ansanm nan legliz la. Yo te toujou reyini ak legliz la epi yo te anseye anpil moun. Se nan Antyòch yo te premye rele disip yo kretyen.
27 Nan lè sa a tou, kèk pwofèt te soti Jerizalèm vini Antyòch. 28 Youn ladan yo ki te rele Agabis leve kanpe. Pouvwa Sentespri a pèmèt li anonse t apral gen yon gwo grangou sou tout latè. (Gwo grangou sa a te rive vre nan epòk lè Klod te anperè). 29 Konsa, kwayan nan legliz Antyòch yo te deside chak moun t ap bay sa yo kapab pou ede frè ak sè nan Kris yo ki t ap viv nan rejyon Jide a. 30 Yo ranmase don an epi yo konfye Banabas ak Sòl li pou pote bay lidè fanmi yo nan Jide.
Footnotes
- 11:2 kwayan Jwif Literalman, “moun sikonsizyon yo”. Sa kapab vle di Jwif ki te panse tout disip Jezi yo te dwe sikonsi epi obeyi ak sa Lalwa Moyiz la te di. Gade nan Gal 2:12.
- 11:15 kòmansman an Jou Pannkot la ki nan Trav 2, lè Sentespri a te vini sou premye disip Jezi yo pou ba yo pouvwa pou yo kòmanse travay yo pou preche nan lemonn antye Bòn Nouvèl delivrans lan ki nan Jezi a.
- 11:20 moun ki pa Jwif yo Literalman, “Elenis yo”, ki vle di moun kilti ak koutim Grèk yo te enfliyanse. Kèk kopi nan lang Grèk rele yo “Grèk” kareman.
