1Now the Apostles and the brothers who were in Judaea had news that the word of God had been given to the Gentiles.
2and when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision were contending with him,
2And when Peter came to Jerusalem, those who kept the rule of circumcision had an argument with him,
3saying--`Unto men uncircumcised thou didst go in, and didst eat with them!'

5`I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by four corners being let down out of the heaven, and it came unto me;
5I was in the town of Joppa, at prayer: and falling into a deep sleep, I saw in a vision a vessel like a great cloth let down from heaven, and it came down to me:
6at which having looked stedfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of heaven;
6And looking on it with attention I saw in it all sorts of beasts and birds.
7and I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, slay and eat;
7And a voice came to my ears saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.
8and I said, Not so, Lord; because anything common or unclean hath at no time entered into my mouth;
8But I said, No, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever come into my mouth.
9and a voice did answer me a second time out of the heaven, What God did cleanse, thou--declare not thou common.
9But the voice, coming a second time from heaven, said, What God has made clean, do not you make common.
10`And this happened thrice, and again was all drawn up to the heaven,
10And this was done three times, and they were all taken up again into heaven.
11and, lo, immediately, three men stood at the house in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea unto me,
11And at that minute, three men, sent from Caesarea, came to the house where we were.
12and the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting, and these six brethren also went with me, and we did enter into the house of the man,
12And 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:
13he declared also to us how he saw the messenger in his house standing, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
13And 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;
14who shall speak sayings by which thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.
14Who will say words to you through which you and all your family may get salvation.
15`And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit did fall upon them, even as also upon us in the beginning,
15And, while I was talking to them, the Holy Spirit came on them, as on us at first.
16and I remembered the saying of the Lord, how he said, John indeed did baptize with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit;
16And the words of the Lord came into my mind, how he said, The baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit.
17if then the equal gift God did give to them as also to us, having believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I--how was I able to withstand God?'
17If then God gave them, when they had faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the same as he gave to us, who was I to go against God?
18And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, `Then, indeed, also to the nations did God give the reformation to life.'
18And hearing these things they said nothing more, but gave glory to God, saying, Then to the Gentiles as to us has God given a change of heart, so that they may have life.
19Those, indeed, therefore, having been scattered abroad, from the tribulation that came after Stephen, went through unto Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none except to Jews only;
19Then those who had gone away at the time of the trouble about Stephen, went as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus, preaching to the Jews only.
20and there were certain of them men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having entered into Antioch, were speaking unto the Hellenists, proclaiming good news--the Lord Jesus,
20But some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, when they came to Antioch, gave the good news about the Lord Jesus to the Greeks.
21and the hand of the Lord was with them, a great number also, having believed, did turn unto the Lord.
21And the power of the Lord was with them, and a great number had faith and were turned to the Lord.
22And the account was heard in the ears of the assembly that <FI>is<Fi> in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go through unto Antioch,
22And news of them came to the ears of the church at Jerusalem: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch:
23who, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave to the Lord,
23Who, when he came and saw the grace of God, was glad; and he made clear to them the need of keeping near the Lord with all the strength of their hearts:
24because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the Lord.
24For he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and a great number were joined to the Lord.
25And Barnabas went forth to Tarsus, to seek for Saul,
