Acts 11: 1- 18
| 11:1 | Now the Apostles and brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the Word of God. |
| 11:2 | Then, when Peter had gone up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision argued against him, |
| 11:3 | saying, “Why did you enter to uncircumcised men, and why did you eat with them?” |
| 11:4 | And Peter began to explain to them, in an orderly manner, saying: |
| 11:5 | “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw, in an ecstasy of mind, a vision: a certain container descending, like a great linen sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. And it drew near to me. |
| 11:6 | And looking into it, I considered and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the flying things of the air. |
| 11:7 | Then I also heard a voice saying to me: ‘Rise up, Peter. Kill and eat.’ |
| 11:8 | But I said: ‘Never, lord! For what is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’ |
| 11:9 | Then the voice responded a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you shall not call common.’ |
| 11:10 | Now this was done three times. And then everything was taken up again into heaven. |
| 11:11 | And behold, immediately there were three men standing near the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea. |
| 11:12 | Then the Spirit told me that I should go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers went with me also. And we entered into the house of the man. |
| 11:13 | And he described for us how he had seen an Angel in his house, standing and saying to him: ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. |
| 11:14 | And he shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved with your whole house.’ |
| 11:15 | And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning. |
| 11:16 | Then I remembered the words of the Lord, just as he himself said: ‘John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ |
| 11:17 | Therefore, if God gave them the same grace, as also to us, who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I would be able to prohibit God?” |
| 11:18 | Having heard these things, they were silent. And they glorified God, saying: “So has God also given to the Gentiles repentance unto life.” |
