  Acts   chapter 11

   1 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.
