Deeds (Act) of Apostles 11:17-21

¹⁷Therefore if God gave to them the same grace, as to us that believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that might forbid the Lord, that he give not the Holy Ghost or that he should not give the Holy Ghost to them that believed in the name of Jesus Christ?

¹⁸When these things were heard, they held peace, and glorified God, and said, Therefore also to heathen men God hath given penance to life.

¹⁹And they that were scattered of the tribulation that was made under Stephen, walked forth to Phoenicia, and to Cyprus, and to Antioch, and spake the word to no man, but to Jews alone.

²⁰But some of them were men of Cyprus, and of Cyrene; which when they had entered into Antioch, they spake to the Greeks, and preached the Lord Jesus.

²¹And the hand of the Lord was with them, and much number of men believing was converted to the Lord.
