Gerðir 11: 1- 8

11:1En postularnir og bræðurnir, sem voru í Júdeu, heyrðu, að heiðingjar hefðu einnig meðtekið orð Guðs.
11:2Þá, þegar Pétur var farinn upp til Jerúsalem, þeir sem voru af umskurninni ræddu gegn honum,
11:3að segja, „Hvers vegna fórstu til óumskorinna manna, og hvers vegna borðaðirðu með þeim?”
11:4Og Pétur tók að útskýra fyrir þeim, með skipulegum hætti, að segja:
11:5„Ég var í borginni Joppe að biðjast fyrir, og ég sá, í alsælu huga, sýn: ákveðinn gámur lækkar, eins og stórt líndúk, sem hleypt er niður af himni á fjórum hornum. Og það nálgaðist mig.
11:6Og skoðar það, Ég íhugaði og sá fjórfættu dýr jarðar, og villidýrin, og skriðdýrin, og fljúgandi hlutir loftsins.
11:7Svo heyrði ég líka rödd segja við mig: 'Rísa upp, Pétur. Drepa og borða.’
11:8En ég sagði: 'Aldrei, herra! Því að það sem er óhreint eða óhreint hefur aldrei borist mér í munn.'

Jón 10: 1- 10

10:1“Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.
10:2But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
10:4And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
10:5But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
10:6Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
10:7Þess vegna, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.
10:8All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.
10:9I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
10:10The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.
