Acts 11:7-17

The Message Bible MSG

7 "Then I heard a voice: 'Go to it, Peter - kill and eat.'

8 I said, 'Oh, no, Master. I've never so much as tasted food that wasn't kosher.'

9 The voice spoke again: 'If God says it's okay, it's okay.'

10 This happened three times, and then the blanket was pulled back up into the sky.

11 "Just then three men showed up at the house where I was staying, sent from Caesarea to get me.

12 The Spirit told me to go with them, no questions asked. So I went with them, I and six friends, to the man who had sent for me.

13 He told us how he had seen an angel right in his own house, real as his next-door neighbor, saying, 'Send to Joppa and get Simon, the one they call Peter.

14 He'll tell you something that will save your life - in fact, you and everyone you care for.'

15 "So I started in, talking. Before I'd spoken half a dozen sentences, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as he did on us the first time.

16 I remembered Jesus' words: 'John baptized with water; you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'

17 So I ask you: If God gave the same exact gift to them as to us when we believed in the Master Jesus Christ, how could I object to God?"

New International Version NIV

7 Then I heard a voice telling me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.’

8 “I replied, ‘Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

9 “The voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’

10 This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.

11 “Right then three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying.

12 The Spirit told me to have no hesitation about going with them. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s house.

13 He told us how he had seen an angel appear in his house and say, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter.

14 He will bring you a message through which you and all your household will be saved.’

15 “As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning.

16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized withwater, but you will be baptized withthe Holy Spirit.’

17 So if God gave them the same gift he gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?”
