Acts 11:7-17

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹³He 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,

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

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

¹⁶I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you will be baptized with Holy Spirit.’

¹⁷So if God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed upon the Lord Jesus, who was I to be able to withstand God?”
