2and when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision contended with him,
3saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised and hast eaten with them.
4But Peter began and set forth the matter to them in order, saying,
5I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in an ecstasy I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down by four corners out of heaven, and it came even to me:
6on which having fixed mine eyes, I considered, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven.
7And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat.
8And I said, In no wise, Lord, for common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.
9And a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God has cleansed, do not thou make common.
10And this took place thrice, and again all was drawn up into heaven;
11and lo, immediately three men were at the house in which I was, sent to me from Caesarea.
12And the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also, and we entered into the house of the man,
13and he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send men to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
14who shall speak words to thee whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.
15And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning.
16And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit.
17If then God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was I to be able to forbid God?
18And when they heard these things they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then indeed God has to the nations also granted repentance to life.
19They then who had been scattered abroad through the tribulation that took place on the occasion of Stephen, passed through the country to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one but to Jews alone.
20But there were certain of them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who entering into Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, announcing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus.
21And the Lord's hand was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
