Acts 11:1-15

¹Now the Apostles and the brothers who were in Judaea had news that the word of God had been given to the Gentiles.

²And when Peter came to Jerusalem, those who kept the rule of circumcision had an argument with him,

³Saying, You went to men without circumcision, and took food with them.

⁴But Peter gave them an account of it all in order, saying to them,

⁵I was in the town of Joppa, at prayer: and falling into a deep sleep, I saw in a vision a vessel like a great cloth let down from heaven, and it came down to me:

⁶And looking on it with attention I saw in it all sorts of beasts and birds.

⁷And a voice came to my ears saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.

⁸But I said, No, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever come into my mouth.

⁹But the voice, coming a second time from heaven, said, What God has made clean, do not you make common.

¹⁰And this was done three times, and they were all taken up again into heaven.

¹¹And at that minute, three men, sent from Caesarea, came to the house where we were.

¹²And the Spirit gave me orders to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers came with me; and we went into that man's house:

¹³And he gave us an account of how he had seen the angel in his house, saying, Send to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you;

¹⁴Who will say words to you through which you and all your family may get salvation.

¹⁵And, while I was talking to them, the Holy Spirit came on them, as on us at first.
