Deeds (Act) of Apostles 11:9-19

⁹And the voice answered the second time from heaven, That thing that God hath cleansed, say thou not unclean.

¹⁰And this was done by thrice, and (then) all (the) things were received again into heaven.

¹¹And 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.

¹²And 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.

¹³And 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,

¹⁴which 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.)

¹⁵And 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.)

¹⁶And I bethought on the word of the Lord, as he said, For John baptized in water, but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Ghost (or For John baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit).

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? (And so if God gave them the same gift, as to us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, who would forbid the Lord, yea, that he should not give the Holy Spirit to those who 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. (When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, and said, And so God hath given life-giving repentance also to the Gentiles.)

¹⁹And they that were scattered of the tribulation that was made under Stephen (or Now those who were scattered after the persecution that was made after Stephen’s death), walked forth to Phenice, and to Cyprus, and to Antioch, and spake the word to no man, but to (the) Jews alone.
