RF ACT 11:1 Peter's Defence of Gentile Believers.
However, the apostles and brothers who were resident in Judea, learned that the heathen had received the message of God.
RF ACT 11:2 And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those from the circumcision criticized him,
RF ACT 11:3 remarking, "Why do you associate with uncircumcised men, and even eat with them?"
RF ACT 11:4 But Peter began explaining it to them, step by step, saying,
RF ACT 11:5 "I was in the town of Joppa praying; and entranced, I saw in a vision something like a large sheet carried by the four corners, descending from the sky, and coming near to myself.
RF ACT 11:6 On which gazing, I looked carefully, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the birds of the sky.
RF ACT 11:7 And then I heard a voice saying to me, 'Arise, Peter; sacrifice and eat!'
RF ACT 11:8 But I replied, 'By no means, Sir; for never has anything common or impure entered my mouth.'
RF ACT 11:9 A voice out of the sky then addressed me the second time, 'What God has purified is not defiled to you.'
RF ACT 11:10 This occurred three times; and all were drawn up again into the sky.
RF ACT 11:11 And at that moment, three men, sent to me from Caesarea, approached the house where we were.
RF ACT 11:12 The Spirit then instructed me to accompany them without the least hesitation. These six brothers also accompanied me; and entering the man's house,
RF ACT 11:13 he related to us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying, ' Send to Joppa, and fetch Simon, surnamed Peter,
RF ACT 11:14 who will explain to you the means by which you, as well as all your family, may be saved! '
RF ACT 11:15 And just as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them in the same way as upon us at the beginning.
RF ACT 11:16 Then I remembered the declaration of the Lord, how He said, 'John indeed baptized with water; but you shall be baptized in Holy Spirit.'
RF ACT 11:17 If then God has granted the same gift also to them as to ourselves, when they believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I should be able to hinder God?"
RF ACT 11:18 When they heard this, they were silent, and thanked God, remarking, "Then God has indeed also given to the Gentiles conversion into life."
RF ACT 11:19 Missionary Enterprise.
Meantime those dispersed by the distress that arose on account of Stephen, traversed as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, delivering the message to none but Jews only.
RF ACT 11:20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus, and Cyrenians, who, arriving at Antioch, spoke also to the Greeks, proclaiming the good news of the Lord Jesus.
RF ACT 11:21 And the hand of the Lord was with them; and a large number, having believed, turned to the Lord.
RF ACT 11:22 The Assembly at Antioch.
And the report concerning them reached the ears of the assembly in Jerusalem. And they commissioned Barnabas to proceed to Antioch;
RF ACT 11:23 who, on arrival, was delighted to witness the gift of God, and consoled and encouraged all their hearts to adhere to the Lord;
RF ACT 11:24 for he was a genial man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith; and a considerable number were added to the Lord.
RF ACT 11:25 He then proceeded to Tarsus, to search for Saul;
RF ACT 11:26 and having found him, he took him to Antioch. So it came about that they were working together in that assembly for a whole year, and instructed a large number of people; the disciples, too, at Antioch first called themselves Christians.
RF ACT 11:27 At this time, some preachers came down from Jerusalem to Antioch;
RF ACT 11:28 and one of them, named Agabus, standing up, announced, through the influence of the Spirit, that a severe famine would come over all the empire; which, indeed, did occur under Claudius.
RF ACT 11:29 The disciples then determined, according to their individual ability, to send assistance to their brothers living in Judea;
RF ACT 11:30 this they did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
