Peter Reports to the Church
11 Now the apostles and (A)the brothers[a] who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, (B)the circumcision party[b] criticized him, saying, 3 (C)“You went to uncircumcised men and (D)ate with them.” 4 But Peter began and explained it to them in order: 5 (E)“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, something like a great sheet descending, being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to me. 6 Looking at it closely, I observed animals and beasts of prey and reptiles and birds of the air. 7 And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’ 8 But I said, ‘By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’ 9 But the voice answered a second time from heaven, ‘What God has made clean, do not call common.’ 10 This happened three times, and all was drawn up again into heaven. 11 And behold, at that very moment three men arrived at the house in which we were, sent to me from Caesarea. 12 And the Spirit told me to go with them, (F)making no distinction. (G)These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered the man's house. 13 And he told us how he had seen the angel stand in his house and say, ‘Send to Joppa and bring Simon who is called Peter; 14 (H)he will declare to you a message by which (I)you will be saved, you and all your household.’ 15 As I began to speak, (J)the Holy Spirit fell on them (K)just as on us at the beginning. 16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, (L)‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ 17 If then (M)God gave (N)the same gift to them as he gave to us (O)when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, (P)who was I (Q)that I could stand in God's way?” 18 When they heard these things they fell silent. And they (R)glorified God, saying, (S)“Then to the Gentiles also God has (T)granted (U)repentance that leads to life.”
The Church in Antioch
19 (V)Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews. 20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists[c] also, (W)preaching the Lord Jesus. 21 And (X)the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number who believed (Y)turned to the Lord. 22 The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. 23 When he came and saw (Z)the grace of God, he was glad, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord (AA)with steadfast purpose, 24 for he was a good man, (AB)full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people (AC)were added to the Lord. 25 So Barnabas went to (AD)Tarsus to look for Saul, 26 and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called (AE)Christians.
27 Now in these days (AF)prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 And one of them named (AG)Agabus stood up and foretold (AH)by the Spirit that there would be a great (AI)famine over all the world (this took place in the days of (AJ)Claudius). 29 So the disciples determined, every one according to his ability, (AK)to send relief to (AL)the brothers[d] living in Judea. 30 (AM)And they did so, sending it to (AN)the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

11 Now de the ho apostles apostolos and kai the ho brothers adelphos who ho were eimi throughout kata · ho Judea Ioudaia heard akouō that hoti the ho Gentiles ethnos too kai had accepted dechomai the ho word logos of ho God theos. 2 So de when hote Peter Petros went up anabainō to eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm, they ho who were of ek the circumcision peritomē took diakrinō issue with pros him autos, 3 saying legō, “ You went eiserchomai to pros a house of echō uncircumcised akrobystia men anēr and kai ate synesthiō with them autos.” 4 But de Peter Petros began archō and explained ektithēmi to them autos in an orderly kathexēs fashion , saying legō, 5 “ I egō was eimi in en the city polis of Joppa Ioppē, praying proseuchomai, and kai in en a trance ekstasis I saw a vision horama, an tis object skeuos descending katabainō, like hōs a great megas sheet othonē being let down kathiēmi by its four tessares corners archē from ek · ho heaven ouranos, and kai it came erchomai close achri to me egō. 6 I looked katanoeō into eis it hos closely atenizō and kai I saw · ho four-footed tetrapous animals of the ho earth gē, · kai · ho wild thērion animals , · kai · ho reptiles herpeton, and kai · ho birds peteinon of the ho air ouranos. 7 I also kai heard akouō · de a voice phōnē saying legō to me egō, ‘ Get anistēmi up , Peter Petros; slaughter thuō and kai eat esthiō!’ 8 But de I said legō, ‘ By mēdamōs no means , Lord kyrios; for hoti nothing oudepote common koinos or ē unclean akathartos has ever entered eiserchomai into eis · ho my egō mouth stoma.’ 9 But de the voice phōnē replied apokrinomai a second time ek from ek · ho heaven ouranos, ‘ What hos · ho God theos has made clean katharizō, you sy must not mē consider common koinoō.’ 10 This houtos · de happened ginomai three times epi, and kai again palin everything hapas was drawn anaspaō up into eis · ho heaven ouranos. 11 And kai behold idou, at that very moment exautēs three treis men anēr arrived ephistēmi at epi the ho house oikia, in en which hos we were eimi, sent apostellō from apo Caesarea Kaisareia to pros me egō. 12 And de the ho Spirit pneuma told legō me egō to go synerchomai with them autos without mēdeis hesitating diakrinō.

19 Now oun those ho who were scattered diaspeirō because apo of the ho persecution thlipsis, which ho came ginomai to pass over epi Stephen Stephanos, made dierchomai their way as heōs far as Phoenicia Phoinikē and kai Cyprus Kypros and kai Antioch Antiocheia, speaking laleō the ho word logos to no mēdeis one except ei mē Jews Ioudaios only monon. 20 But de there were eimi some tis of ek them autos, men anēr of Cyprus Kyprios and kai Cyrene Kyrēnaios, who hostis on coming erchomai to eis Antioch Antiocheia began to speak laleō also kai to pros the ho Hellenists Hellēnistēs, preaching euangelizō the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous. 21 And kai the hand cheir of kyrios the Lord kyrios was eimi with meta them autos, and te a great polys number arithmos became · ho believers pisteuō and turned epistrephō to epi the ho Lord kyrios. 22 The ho report logos of peri all this autos was heard akouō · de in eis the ho ears ous of the ho church ekklēsia · ho in en Jerusalem Ierousalēm, and kai they sent exapostellō Barnabas Barnabas as heōs far as Antioch Antiocheia. 23 When he hos came paraginomai and kai saw the ho grace charis · ho of ho God theos, he was glad chairō, and kai he began to exhort parakaleō them all pas to remain faithful prosmenō to the ho Lord kyrios in the ho purpose prothesis of their ho hearts kardia, 24 for hoti he was eimi a good agathos man anēr, · kai full plērēs of the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma and kai of faith pistis.
