Acts 11:7-15 in English

⁷ And I heard also a voice saying unto me, Rise, Peter; kill and eat.

⁸ But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth.

⁹ But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.

¹⁰ And this was done thrice: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

¹¹ And behold, forthwith three men stood before the house in which we were, having been sent from Cæsarea unto me.

¹² And the Spirit bade me go with them, making no distinction. And these six brethren also accompanied me; and we entered into the man’s house:

¹³ and he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and fetch Simon, whose surname is Peter;

¹⁴ who shall speak unto thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.

¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

⁷ And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

⁸ But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.

⁹ But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

¹⁰ And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

¹¹ And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Cæsarea unto me.

¹² And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house:

¹³ And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;

¹⁴ Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.

¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.

⁷ And I heard also a voice saying unto me, Rise, Peter; kill and eat.

⁸ But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth.

⁹ But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.

¹⁰ And this was done thrice: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

¹¹ And behold, forthwith three men stood before the house in which we were, having been sent from Caesarea unto me.

¹² And the Spirit bade me go with them, making no distinction. And these six brethren also accompanied me; and we entered into the man’s house:

¹³ and he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and fetch Simon, whose surname is Peter;

¹⁴ who shall speak unto thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.

¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

⁷ Then I heard God MTY commanding me, ‘Peter, get up, kill some of these, and cook and eat their meat!’

⁸ But I replied, ‘Lord, you(sg) surely do not really want me to do that, because I have never eaten MTY meat from any animal that our laws say that we (exc) must not eat SYN!’

⁹ God spoke from heaven to me a second time, ‘ I am God, so if I have made something acceptable to eat, do not say that it is not acceptable to eat!’

¹⁰ Then after that happened three times, the sheet with all those animals and birds was pulled up into heaven again.”

¹¹ “At that exact moment, three men who had been {whom Cornelius had} sent from Caesarea arrived at the house where I was staying.

¹² God's Spirit told me that I should be willing to go with them even though they were not Jews. These six Jewish believers from Joppa went with me to Caesarea, and then we (exc) went into that non-Jewish man's house.

¹³ He told us that he had seen an angel standing in his house. The angel told him, ‘Tell some men to go to Joppa and bring back Simon whose other name is Peter.

¹⁴ He will tell you (sg) how you and everyone MTY else in your house will be saved {how God will save you and everyone MTY else in your house}.’

¹⁵ After I started to speak, the Holy Spirit suddenly came down on them, just like he had first MTY come on us during the Pentecost festival.

⁷ I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’

⁸ But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’

⁹ But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’

¹⁰ This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

¹¹ Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

¹² The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.

¹³ He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,

¹⁴ who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’

¹⁵ As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

⁷ I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’

⁸ But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’

⁹ But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’

¹⁰ This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

¹⁴ who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’

¹⁵ As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

⁷ I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’

⁸ But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’

⁹ But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’

¹⁰ This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

¹¹ Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

¹³ He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,

¹⁴ who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’

¹⁵ As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

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

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

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

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

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

¹² And 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:

¹³ And 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;

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

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

⁷ And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat.

⁸ And I said, In no wise, Lord, for common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.

⁹ And a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God has cleansed, do not thou make common.

¹⁰ And this took place thrice, and again all was drawn up into heaven;

¹¹ and lo, immediately three men were at the house in which I was, sent to me from Caesarea.

¹² And 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,

¹³ and 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,

¹⁴ who shall speak words to thee whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.

¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning.

⁷ And I heard also a voice saying to me: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.

⁸ And I said: Not so, Lord; for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth.

⁹ And the voice answered again from heaven: What God hath made clean, do not thou call common.

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

¹¹ And behold, immediately there were three men come to the house wherein I was, sent to me from Caesarea.

¹² And 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.

¹³ And 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,

¹⁴ Who shall speak to thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, and all thy house.

¹⁵ And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell upon them, as upon us also in the beginning.

⁷ And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Arise, Peter; kill and eat.’

⁸ But I said, ‘By no means, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’

⁹ But the voice answered me a second time from heaven, ‘What God has made clean, you must not make common.’

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

¹¹ And behold, immediately three men stood before the house in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

¹² And 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.

¹³ And 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,

¹⁴ who will speak words to you by which you and all your household shall be saved.’

¹⁵ And when I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as also on us in the beginning.

⁷ Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!’

⁸ So I said: ‘No way, Lord! Never has anything ‘common’ or unclean entered my mouth!’

⁹ But the voice answered me, a second time, from heaven, ‘Things that God has made clean you must not call ‘common’.’

¹⁰ Well this was done three times, and it was all pulled back up into the sky.

¹¹ At that very moment three men stopped in front of the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

¹² The Spirit told me to go with them, doubting nothing. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man's house.

¹³ He then related to us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter,

¹⁴ who will speak words to you by which you and all your household will be saved.’

¹⁵ Well as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as on us at the beginning.

⁷ Then I heard a voice that told me, ‘Get up, Peter, kill and eat.’

⁸ But I replied, ‘Absolutely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth!’

⁹ The voice from heaven spoke again, and said, ‘Don't you call unclean what God has made clean!’

¹⁰ This happened three times, and then it was all taken back into heaven.

¹¹ At that very moment three men were standing in front of the house where we were staying. They had been sent from Caesarea to see me.

¹² The Spirit told me to go with them, and not to worry about who they were. These six brothers here also went with me, and we went into the man's house.

¹³ He explained to us how an angel had appeared to him in his house, who told him, ‘Send someone to Joppa, and fetch Simon, also called Peter,

¹⁴ who will tell you what you need to hear so you can be saved—you and your whole household.’

¹⁵ When I started speaking, the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as happened to us in the beginning.

⁷ Also I heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Arise, Peter: slay and eate.

⁸ And I said, God forbid, Lord: for nothing polluted or vncleane hath at any time entred into my mouth.

⁹ But the voyce answered me the seconde time from heauen, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.

¹⁰ And this was done three times, and all were taken vp againe into heauen.

¹¹ Then behold, immediatly there were three men already come vnto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea vnto me.

¹² And the Spirit saide vnto me, that I should go with them, without doubting: moreouer these sixe brethren came with me, and we entred into the mans house.

¹³ And he shewed vs, howe he had seene an Angel in his house, which stoode and said to him, Send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.

¹⁴ He shall speake wordes vnto thee, whereby both thou and all thine house shalbe saued.

¹⁵ And as I began to speake, the holy Ghost fell on them, euen as vpon vs at the beginning.

⁷ And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

⁸ But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.

⁹ But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

¹⁰ And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

¹¹ And behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea unto me.

¹⁴ who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.

¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.

⁷ And I also heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

⁸ But I said, Not so, Lord; for nothing common or unclean ever entered my mouth.

⁹ But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, That which God hath cleansed, call not thou common.

¹⁰ And this was done three times; and all were again drawn up into heaven.

¹¹ And lo! immediately there stood three men at the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.

¹² And the Spirit bade me go with them. And these six brethren also came with me, and we entered the man's house.

¹³ And he told us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send to Joppa, and call for Simon, surnamed Peter;

¹⁴ who will speak to thee words by which thou shalt be saved, and all thy house.

¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning.

⁷ and I also heard a voice saying to me — ‘Stand up, Peter, kill something and eat.’

⁸ ‘No, Lord, I cannot,’ I answered, ‘for nothing defiled or unclean has ever passed my lips.’

⁹ Then a second time there came a voice from the heavens. ‘What God has pronounced clean’, it said, ‘you must not call defiled.’

¹⁰ This happened three times, and then all was drawn up again into the heavens.

¹¹ At that moment three men, who had been sent from Caesarea to see me, came up to the house in which we were.

¹² The Spirit told me to go with them without hesitation. These six companions also went with me. And, when we came into the man's house,

¹³ he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and how the angel had said to him — ‘Send to Jaffa and fetch the Simon, who is also known as Peter;

¹⁴ for he will tell you truths, which will prove the means of salvation to you and all your household.’

¹⁵ I had but just begun to speak,” continued Peter, “when the Holy Spirit fell on them, exactly as on us at the first;

⁷ and I also heard a voice saying to me — ‘Stand up, Peter, kill something and eat.’

¹⁵ I had but just begun to speak,” continued Peter, “when the Holy Spirit fell on them, exactly as on us at the first;

⁷ Then I heard a voice say to me, ‘Get up Peter. Kill some of those animals and eat them.’

⁸ But I said, ‘No, boss. I will not. Our law says we can’t eat that kind of animal. They are no good, so I never eat any of them.’

⁹ Then I heard that voice from heaven again. It said, ‘If God says that something is good, don’t say it is no good.’

¹⁰ That happened 3 times, and then that sheet and everything in it went back up into heaven.

¹¹ Just then 3 men came to the house I was staying in. They came from Caesarea.

¹² The Holy Spirit told me, ‘Don’t worry, just go with those men.’ So I went with them, and these 6 other men here, they went with me too. We got there and went into a man’s house.

¹³ That man told us that he saw an angel in his house. The angel said, ‘Simon Peter has a message for you, so send somebody to Joppa to get him. He will tell you the way God can save you, and your family, and everyone else in your house too.’

¹⁵ I started talking to those people and then the Holy Spirit came into them. It was just like the first time that he came into us.
