彼得辩白给外邦人施洗的事

11 使徒和在犹太的众弟兄听说外邦人也领受了神的道。 及至彼得上了耶路撒冷,那些奉割礼的门徒和他争辩,说: “你进入未受割礼之人的家,和他们一同吃饭了!” 彼得就开口把这事挨次给他们讲解,说: “我在约帕城里祷告的时候,魂游象外,看见异象:有一物降下,好像一块大布,系着四角,从天缒下,直来到我跟前。 我定睛观看,见内中有地上四足的牲畜和野兽、昆虫并天上的飞鸟。 我且听见有声音向我说:彼得,起来,宰了吃!’ 我说:‘主啊,这是不可的!凡俗而不洁净的物从来没有入过我的口。’ 第二次有声音从天上说:‘神所洁净的,你不可当做俗物。’ 10 这样一连三次,就都收回天上去了。 11 正当那时,有三个人站在我们所住的房门前,是从恺撒利亚差来见我的。 12 圣灵吩咐我和他们同去,不要疑惑[a]。同着我去的,还有这六位弟兄,我们都进了那人的家。 13 那人就告诉我们他如何看见一位天使站在他屋里,说:‘你打发人往约帕去,请那称呼彼得西门来, 14 他有话告诉你,可以叫你和你的全家得救。’ 15 我一开讲,圣灵便降在他们身上,正像当初降在我们身上一样。 16 我就想起主的话说:约翰是用水施洗,但你们要受圣灵的洗。’ 17 神既然给他们恩赐,像在我们信主耶稣基督的时候给了我们一样,我是谁,能拦阻神呢?” 18 众人听见这话,就不言语了,只归荣耀于神,说:“这样看来,神也赐恩给外邦人,叫他们悔改得生命了。”

教会兴盛在安提阿

19 那些因司提反的事遭患难四散的门徒,直走到腓尼基塞浦路斯安提阿,他们不向别人讲道,只向犹太人讲。 20 但内中有塞浦路斯古利奈人,他们到了安提阿,也向希腊人传讲主耶稣[b] 21 主与他们同在,信而归主的人就很多了。 22 这风声传到耶路撒冷教会人的耳中,他们就打发巴拿巴出去,走到安提阿为止。 23 他到了那里,看见神所赐的恩就欢喜,劝勉众人立定心志,恒久靠主。 24 巴拿巴原是个好人,被圣灵充满,大有信心。于是,有许多人归服了主。

门徒初次称为基督徒是在安提阿

25 他又往大数去找扫罗 26 找着了,就带他到安提阿去。他们足有一年的工夫和教会一同聚集,教训了许多人。门徒称为“基督徒”是从安提阿起首。

27 当那些日子,有几位先知从耶路撒冷下到安提阿 28 内中有一位名叫亚迦布,站起来,借着圣灵指明天下将有大饥荒;这事到克劳迪年间果然有了。 29 于是门徒定意照各人的力量捐钱,送去供给住在犹太的弟兄。 30 他们就这样行,把捐项托巴拿巴扫罗送到众长老那里。

Peter Reports in Jerusalem

11 Now the apostles and (A)the brothers and sisters who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, [a](B)the Jewish believers took issue with him, saying, “(C)You [b]went to [c]uncircumcised men and ate with them.” But Peter began and explained at length to them (D)in an orderly sequence, saying, (E)I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw (F)a vision, an [d]object coming down like a great sheet lowered by four corners from the sky; and it came to where I was, and I stared at it and was thinking about it, and I saw the four-footed animals of the earth, the wild animals, the [e]crawling creatures, and the birds of the sky. I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter; [f]kill and eat.’ But I said, ‘By no means, Lord, for nothing [g]unholy or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’ But a voice from heaven answered a second time, ‘(G)What God has cleansed, no longer [h]consider unholy.’ 10 This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into the sky. 11 And behold, at that moment three men who had been sent to me from (H)Caesarea came up to the house where we were staying. 12 (I)And the Spirit told me to go with them (J)without [i]misgivings. (K)These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s house. 13 And he reported to us how he had seen the angel [j]standing in his house, and saying, ‘Send some men to Joppa and have Simon, who is also called Peter, brought here; 14 and he will speak (L)words to you by which you will be saved, you and (M)all your household.’ 15 And as I began to speak, (N)the Holy Spirit fell upon them just (O)as He did upon us at the beginning. 16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, (P)John baptized with water, but you will be baptized [k]with the Holy Spirit.’ 17 Therefore, if (Q)God gave them the same gift as He also gave to us after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, (R)who was I that I could [l]stand in God’s way?” 18 When they heard this, they [m]quieted down and (S)glorified God, saying, “Well then, God has also granted to the Gentiles the (T)repentance that leads to life.”

The Church in Antioch

19 (U)So then those who were scattered because of the [n]persecution that occurred in connection with Stephen made their way [o]to (V)Phoenicia, (W)Cyprus, and (X)Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews alone. 20 But there were some of them, men of (Y)Cyprus and (Z)Cyrene, who came to (AA)Antioch and began speaking to the [p](AB)Greeks as well, (AC)preaching the good news of the Lord Jesus. 21 And (AD)the hand of the Lord was with them, and (AE)a large number who believed turned to the Lord. 22 The [q]news about them [r]reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent (AF)Barnabas off [s]to (AG)Antioch. 23 Then when he arrived and [t]witnessed (AH)the grace of God, he rejoiced and began to encourage them all with [u]resolute heart to remain true to the Lord; 24 for he was a good man, and (AI)full of the Holy Spirit and faith. And [v](AJ)considerable numbers were added to the Lord. 25 And he left for (AK)Tarsus to look for Saul; 26 and when he had found him, he brought him to (AL)Antioch. And for an entire year they [w]met with the church and taught [x]considerable numbers of people; and (AM)the disciples were first called (AN)Christians in (AO)Antioch.

27 Now [y]at this time some (AP)prophets came down from Jerusalem to (AQ)Antioch. 28 One of them, named (AR)Agabus, stood up and [z]indicated [aa]by the Spirit that there would definitely be a severe famine (AS)all over the [ab]world. [ac]And this took place in the reign of (AT)Claudius. 29 And to the extent that any of (AU)the disciples had means, each of them determined to send a contribution for the [ad]relief of (AV)the brothers and sisters living in Judea. 30 (AW)And they did this, sending it [ae]with (AX)Barnabas and Saul to the (AY)elders.

11 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,

Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.

But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,

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:

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.

And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.

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.
