1 And the apostles, and the brethren that were in Judea, heard that also heathen men received the word of God, and they glorified God. (And the apostles, and the brothers who were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles had also accepted the word of God, and they glorified God.)
2 But when Peter came to Jerusalem, they that were of (the) circumcision, disputed against him,
3 and said, Why enteredest thou to men that have prepuce, and hast eaten with them? (and said, Why hast thou gone to those who have foreskin, or who be uncircumcised, and hast eaten with them?)
4 And Peter began, and expounded to them by order, and said,
5 I was in the city of Joppa, and prayed, and I saw in (the) ravishing of my mind, or in (the) excess of my soul, a vision, that a vessel came down, as a great sheet with four cords or with four corners, and was sent down from heaven; and it came to me.
6 Into which I looking beheld, and saw (the) four-footed beasts of the earth, and (other) beasts, and (the) creeping beasts, and (the) volatiles of (the) heaven(s), or of the air, (or and the birds of the air).
7 And I heard also a voice that said to me, Peter, rise thou, and slay, and eat.
8 But I said, Nay, Lord; for common thing either unclean entered never into my mouth. (But I said, No, Lord; for a common or an unclean thing hath never entered into my mouth.)
9 And the voice answered the second time from heaven, That thing that God hath cleansed, say thou not unclean.
10 And this was done by thrice, and (then) all (the) things were received again into heaven.
11 And lo! three men anon stood in the house, in which I was, (or And behold! three men at once arrived at the house, where I was); and they were sent from Caesarea to me.
12 And the Spirit said to me, that I should go with them, and doubt nothing. Yea, and these six brethren came with me, and we entered into the house of the man.
13 And he told to us, how he saw an angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send thou into Joppa, and call Simon, that is named Peter,
14 which shall speak to thee words, in which thou shalt be safe, and all thine house. (who shall speak to thee the words, by which thou shalt be saved, and all of thine house.)
15 And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as into us in the beginning. (And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning.)
