2And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision were contending with him,
3saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
4But Peter, beginning to speak, was setting forth to them in order, saying,
5“I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel coming down like a great sheet, being lowered by the four corners from heaven; and it came as far as me;
6on which, looking intently, I was contemplating, and I saw the four-footed animals of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the birds of the air.
7And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Arise, Peter; kill and eat.’
8But I said, ‘By no means, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’
9But the voice answered me a second time from heaven, ‘What God has made clean, you must not make common.’
10And this was done three times, and again all things were drawn up into heaven.
11And behold, immediately three men stood before the house in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
12And the Spirit told me to go with them, without wavering. Now these six brothers also went with me, 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 send for Simon whose surname is Peter,
14who will speak words to you by which you and all your household shall be saved.’
15And when I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as also on us in the beginning.
16And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
17If then God has given to them the same gift as He gave to us, when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to hinder God?”
18And hearing these things, they remained silent, and they glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life.”
19Then those who were scattered because of the tribulation coming about over Stephen, went about as far as Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews only.
20But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, entering into Antioch spoke to the Greek speaking Jews, preaching the good news of the Lord Jesus.
21And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.
