Informe de Pedro a la iglesia de Jerusalén
11 Los apóstoles y los hermanos que estaban en Judea recibieron noticias de que también los no judíos habían aceptado el mensaje de Dios. 2 Pero cuando Pedro volvió a Jerusalén, lo criticaron algunos de los creyentes procedentes del judaísmo. 3 Le preguntaron:
—¿Por qué fuiste a visitar a los que no son judíos, y comiste con ellos?
4 Pedro les contó desde el principio todo lo que había pasado. Les dijo:
5 —Yo estaba en la ciudad de Jope, y mientras oraba tuve una visión: Vi algo parecido a una gran sábana que, atada por las cuatro puntas, bajaba del cielo hasta donde yo estaba. 6 Me fijé bien para ver lo que había dentro, y vi cuadrúpedos y fieras, reptiles y aves. 7 Y oí una voz, que me dijo: “Levántate, Pedro; mata y come.” 8 Yo contesté: “No, Señor, porque nunca ha entrado en mi boca nada profano ni impuro.” 9 Entonces la voz del cielo me habló de nuevo, diciéndome: “Lo que Dios ha purificado, no lo llames tú profano.” 10 Esto sucedió tres veces, y luego todo volvió a subir al cielo. 11 En aquel momento, tres hombres enviados desde Cesarea a buscarme llegaron a la casa donde estábamos. 12 El Espíritu me mandó que, sin dudarlo, fuera con ellos. Y también fueron conmigo estos seis hermanos. Todos entramos en casa de cierto hombre, 13 que nos contó cómo en su casa había visto a un ángel, que puesto de pie le había dicho: “Manda a alguien a la ciudad de Jope para que haga venir a Simón, que también es conocido como Pedro; 14 él te dirá cómo puedes salvarte, tú y toda tu familia.” 15 Cuando comencé a hablarles, el Espíritu Santo vino sobre ellos de igual manera que al principio vino sobre nosotros. 16 Entonces me acordé de lo que había dicho el Señor: “Es cierto que Juan bautizó con agua, pero ustedes serán bautizados con el Espíritu Santo.” 17 Pues bien, si Dios les da también a ellos lo mismo que nos ha dado a nosotros que hemos creído en el Señor Jesucristo, ¿quién soy yo para oponerme a Dios?
18 Cuando los hermanos de Jerusalén oyeron estas cosas, se callaron y alabaron a Dios, diciendo:
—¡De manera que también a los que no son judíos les ha dado Dios la oportunidad de volverse a él y alcanzar la vida eterna!
La iglesia de Antioquía
19 Después de la muerte de Esteban, comenzaron a perseguir a los creyentes, por lo que algunos tuvieron que huir a Fenicia, Chipre y Antioquía. Allí anunciaron a los judíos el mensaje del evangelio, pero no a los demás. 20 Sin embargo, algunos creyentes de Chipre y de Cirene llegaron a la ciudad de Antioquía y hablaron también a los no judíos, anunciándoles la buena noticia acerca de Jesús, el Señor. 21 El poder del Señor estaba con ellos, y así fueron muchos los que dejaron sus antiguas creencias y creyeron en el Señor.
22 Los de la iglesia de Jerusalén, al conocer esta noticia, mandaron a Bernabé a Antioquía. 23 Al llegar, Bernabé vio cómo Dios los había bendecido, y se alegró mucho. Les aconsejó a todos que con corazón firme siguieran fieles al Señor. 24 Porque Bernabé era un hombre bueno, lleno del Espíritu Santo y de fe. Y así mucha gente se unió al Señor.
25 Después de esto, Bernabé fue a Tarso a buscar a Saulo, 26 y cuando lo encontró, lo llevó a Antioquía. Allí estuvieron con la iglesia un año entero, enseñando a mucha gente. Fue en Antioquía donde por primera vez se les dio a los discípulos el nombre de cristianos.
27 Por aquel tiempo, unos profetas fueron de Jerusalén a Antioquía. 28 Y uno de ellos, llamado Agabo, puesto de pie y por inspiración del Espíritu, anunció que iba a haber una gran hambre en todo el mundo, lo cual sucedió, en efecto, en tiempos del emperador Claudio. 29 Entonces los creyentes de Antioquía decidieron enviar ayuda a los hermanos que vivían en Judea, según lo que cada uno pudiera dar. 30 Así lo hicieron, y por medio de Bernabé y Saulo mandaron una ofrenda a los ancianos de Judea.

11 Or gli apostoli e i fratelli che erano in Giudea vennero a sapere che anche i gentili avevano ricevuto la parola di Dio.
2 E, quando Pietro salí a Gerusalemme, quelli che erano circoncisi contendevano con lui
3 dicendo: «Tu sei entrato in casa di uomini incirconcisi e hai mangiato con loro!».
4 Ma Pietro cominciando dall'inizio, spiegò loro per ordine come si erano svolti i fatti dicendo:
5 «Io stavo pregando nella città di Ioppe, quando fui rapito in estasi ed ebbi una visione: un oggetto, simile a un gran lenzuolo tenuto per i quattro capi, scendeva come se fosse calato giú dal cielo e giunse fino a me.
6 Guardandovi attentamente dentro scorsi e vidi quadrupedi, fiere, rettili della terra e uccelli del cielo.
7 E udii una voce che mi diceva: "Pietro, alzati, ammazza e mangia".
8 Ma io dissi: "Niente affatto, Signore, poiché non mi è mai entrato in bocca nulla di impuro o di contaminato".
9 Ma la voce mi rispose per la seconda volta dal cielo: "Le cose che Dio ha purificato, non farle tu impure".
10 E ciò accadde per tre volte, poi ogni cosa fu di nuovo ritirata in cielo.
11 In quello stesso momento tre uomini, mandati a me da Cesarea, si presentarono alla casa dove mi trovavo.
12 E lo Spirito mi disse di andare con loro, senza avere alcuna esitazione. Or con me vennero anche questi sei fratelli, e cosí entrammo nella casa di quell'uomo.
13 Egli ci raccontò come aveva visto presentarsi un angelo in casa sua e dirgli: "Manda degli uomini a Ioppe e fa' chiamare Simone, soprannominato Pietro.
14 Egli ti dirà parole, per mezzo delle quali sarai salvato tu e tutta la tua casa".
15 Avevo appena cominciato a parlare quando lo Spirito Santo discese su di loro, come era sceso al principio su di noi.
16 Mi ricordai allora della parola del Signore che diceva: "Giovanni ha battezzato con acqua, ma voi sarete battezzati con lo Spirito Santo".
17 Se dunque Dio ha dato loro lo stesso dono che abbiamo ricevuto noi, che abbiamo creduto nel Signore Gesú Cristo, chi ero io da potermi opporre a Dio?».
18 Udite queste cose, essi si calmarono e glorificavano Dio, dicendo: «Dio dunque ha concesso il ravvedimento anche ai gentili per ottenere la vita!».
19 Or coloro che erano stati dispersi a motivo della persecuzione iniziata con Stefano, arrivarono fino alla Fenicia, a Cipro e ad Antiochia, annunziando la parola a nessun altro, se non ai soli Giudei.
20 Or alcuni di loro originari di Cipro e di Cirene, arrivati ad Antiochia, iniziarono a parlare ai Greci, annunziando il Signore Gesú.
21 E la mano del Signore era con loro; e un gran numero credette e si convertí al Signore.
22 La notizia di questo pervenne agli orecchi della chiesa che era in Gerusalemme; ed essi inviarono Barnaba, perché andasse fino ad Antiochia.
23 Quando egli giunse, vista la grazia di Dio, si rallegrò e esortava tutti a rimanere fedeli al Signore con fermo proponimento di cuore,
24 perché egli era un uomo dabbene, pieno di Spirito Santo e di fede. E un gran numero di persone fu aggiunto al Signore.
25 Poi Barnaba partí per andare a Tarso in cerca di Saulo e, trovatolo, lo condusse ad Antiochia.
26 E per un anno intero essi si radunarono con la chiesa e ammaestrarono un gran numero di gente; e, per la prima volta ad Antiochia, i discepoli furono chiamati Cristiani.
27 In quei giorni, alcuni profeti scesero da Gerusalemme ad Antiochia.
28 E uno di loro, di nome Agabo, si alzò e per lo Spirito predisse che ci sarebbe stata una grande carestia in tutto il mondo; e questa avvenne poi sotto Claudio Cesare.
29 Allora i discepoli, ciascuno secondo le proprie possibilità, decisero di mandare una sovvenzione ai fratelli che abitavano in Giudea.
30 E questo essi fecero, inviandola agli anziani per mezzo di Barnaba e di Saulo.

Peter Reports That Non-Jewish People Can Belong to the Church
11 The apostles and the believers throughout Judea heard that people who were not Jewish had accepted God’s word. 2 However, when Peter went to Jerusalem, the believers who insisted on circumcision began to argue with him. 3 They said, “You went to visit men who were uncircumcised, and you even ate with them.”
4 Then Peter began to explain to them point by point what had happened. He said, 5 “I was praying in the city of Joppa when I fell into a trance. I saw something like a large linen sheet being lowered by its four corners from the sky. The sheet came near me. 6 I looked into the sheet very closely and saw tame animals, wild animals, reptiles, and birds. 7 I also heard a voice telling me, ‘Get up, Peter! Kill these animals, and eat them.’
8 “But I answered, ‘I can’t do that, Lord! I’ve never put anything impure or unclean [a] into my mouth.’
9 “A voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Don’t say that the things which God has made clean [b] are impure.’ 10 This happened three times. Then everything was pulled back into the sky again.
11 “At that moment three men arrived at the house where we were staying. They had been sent from Caesarea to find me. 12 The Spirit told me to go with them without any hesitation. Six believers ⌞from Joppa⌟ went with me, and we visited Cornelius’ home.
13 “He told us that he had seen an angel standing in his home. The angel told him, ‘Send messengers to Joppa, and summon a man whose name is Simon Peter. 14 He will give you a message that will save you and everyone in your home.’
15 “When I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came to these people. This was the same thing that happened to us in the beginning. 16 I remembered that the Lord had said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized by the Holy Spirit.’ 17 When they believed, God gave them the same gift that he gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. So who was I to interfere with God?”
18 When the others heard this, they had no further objections. They praised God by saying, “Then God has also led people who are not Jewish to turn to him so that they can change the way they think and act and have eternal life.”
The New Church in Antioch
19 Some of the believers who were scattered by the trouble that broke out following Stephen’s death went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and the city of Antioch. They spoke God’s word only to Jewish people. 20 But other believers, who were from Cyprus and Cyrene, arrived in Antioch. They started to spread the Good News about the Lord Jesus to Greeks. 21 The Lord’s power was with his followers, and a large number of people believed and turned to the Lord.
22 After the news about Antioch reached the church in Jerusalem, Barnabas was sent to Antioch. 23 When he arrived there, he was pleased to see what God had done for them out of kindness.[c] So he encouraged all the people to remain solidly committed to the Lord. 24 Barnabas was a dependable man, and he was full of the Holy Spirit and faith. A large crowd believed in the Lord.
25 Then Barnabas left Antioch to go to the city of Tarsus to look for Saul. 26 After finding Saul, Barnabas brought him back to Antioch. Barnabas and Saul met with the church in Antioch for a whole year and taught a large group of people. The disciples were called Christians for the first time in the city of Antioch.
27 At that time some prophets came from Jerusalem to the city of Antioch. 28 One of them was named Agabus. Through the Spirit Agabus predicted that a severe famine would affect the entire world. This happened while Claudius was emperor. 29 All the disciples in Antioch decided to contribute whatever they could afford to help the believers living in Judea. 30 The disciples did this and sent their contribution with Barnabas and Saul to the leaders ⌞in Jerusalem⌟.

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)
