2And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
3Saying: Why didst thou go in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them?
4But Peter began and declared to them the matter in order, saying:
5I was in the city of Joppe praying, and I saw in an ecstasy of mind a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners, and it came even unto me.
6Into which looking, I considered, and saw fourfooted creatures of the earth, and beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air:
7And I heard also a voice saying to me: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
8And I said: Not so, Lord; for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth.
9And the voice answered again from heaven: What God hath made clean, do not thou call common.
10And this was done three times: and all were taken up again into heaven.
11And behold, immediately there were three men come to the house wherein I was, sent to me from Caesarea.
12And the Spirit said to me, that I should go with them, nothing doubting. And these six brethren went with me also: and we entered into the man’s house.
13And he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing, and saying to him: Send to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
14Who shall speak to thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, and all thy house.
15And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell upon them, as upon us also in the beginning.
16And I remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said: John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
17If then God gave them the same grace, as to us also who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ; who was I, that could withstand God?
18Having heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying: God then hath also to the Gentiles given repentance unto life.
19Now they who had been dispersed by the persecution that arose on occasion of Stephen, went about as far as Phenice and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none, but to the Jews only.
20But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they were entered into Antioch, spoke also to the Greeks, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believing, were converted to the Lord.
