2When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, they who belonged to the circumcision group criticized him;
3they said, “You associated with uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
4But Peter started to explain the matter to them in detail; he said,
5I was praying in the city of Joppa, and I had a vision of a container coming down, like a large sheet let down from heaven by its four corners. It descended to me.
6I gazed at it and I thought about it. I saw the four-legged animals of earth, wild beasts, creeping animals, and birds of the sky.
7Then I heard a voice say to me, “Get up, Peter; kill and eat!”
8I said, “Not so, Lord; for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.”
9But the voice answered again from heaven, “What God has declared clean, do not call unclean.”
10This happened three times, and then everything was taken back up into heaven again.
11Behold, right away there were three men standing in front of the house where we were; they had been sent from Caesarea to me.
12The Spirit commanded me to go with them, and that I should make no distinction regarding them. These six brothers went with me, and we went into the man's house.
13He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying, “Send men to Joppa and bring back Simon who is called Peter.
14He will speak to you a message by which you will be saved—you and all your household.”
15As I began to speak to them, the Holy Spirit came on them, just as on us in the beginning.
16I remembered the words of the Lord, how he said, “John indeed baptized with water; but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.”
17Then if God gave to them the same gift as he gave to us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could oppose God?”
18When they heard these things, they said nothing in response, but they praised God and said, “Then God has given repentance for life to the Gentiles also.”
19Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that arose over Stephen spread as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word only to Jews.
20But some of them, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, came to Antioch and spoke also to Greeks, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus.
21The hand of the Lord was with them; a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
