Heard now the apostles and the brothers those being in Judea that also the Gentiles received the word of God.

When also went up Peter to Jerusalem, were contending with him those of [the] circumcision,

saying that, You entered to men uncircumcision having, and you ate with them.

having begun now Peter, he was explaining [it] to them in order, saying,

I was in [the] city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision, descending a vessel certain like a sheet great, by four corners being let down out of heaven, and it came down as far as me.

On it having looked intently, I was observing [it], and I saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the air.

I heard then also a voice saying to me, Having risen up, Peter, do kill and do eat.

I said however, In no way, Lord, for common or unclean nothing ever has entered into the mouth of me.

Answered however [the] voice for a second [time] out of heaven, What God has cleansed, you not do call unholy.

This now happened on three times, and was drawn up again all into heaven.

and behold, immediately three men stood at the house in which I was, sent from Caesarea to me.

Told now the Spirit to me to go with them, not having discriminated. Went now with me also six brothers these, and we entered into the house of the man.

He related then to us how he had seen the angel in the house of him, having stood and having said, do send forth to Joppa, and do yourself send for Simon, who is called Peter,

who will speak declarations to you, in which will be saved you and all the household of you.

In then beginning my to speak, fell the Spirit Holy upon them, even as also upon us in [the] beginning.

I remembered then the declaration of the Lord, how He was saying John indeed baptized with water; you however will be baptized with [the] Spirit Holy.

If then the same gift has given to them God as also to us having believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, I how was able to forbid God?

Having heard then these things, they were silent and glorified God, saying, Then indeed also to the Gentiles God repentance unto life has given.

Those indeed therefore having been scattered by the tribulation having taken place over Stephen, passed through to Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, to no one speaking the word except only solely to Jews.

Were however some of them, men of Cyprus and of Cyrene, who having come into Antioch, were speaking also to the Hellenists, proclaiming the gospel — the Lord Jesus.

And was [the] hand of [the] Lord with them; [a] great then number which having believed, turned to the Lord.

Was heard now the report in the ears of the church which is being in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,

who having come and having seen the grace which [is] of God, rejoiced and was exhorting all with resolute purpose of heart to abide the Lord.
