Acts 11

New Century Version NCV

1 The apostles and the believers in Judea heard that some who were not Jewish had accepted God's teaching too.

2 But when Peter came to Jerusalem, some Jewish believers argued with him.

3 They said, "You went into the homes of people who are not circumcised and ate with them!"

4 So Peter explained the whole story to them.

5 He said, "I was in the city of Joppa, and while I was praying, I had a vision. I saw something that looked like a big sheet being lowered from heaven by its four corners. It came very close to me.

6 I looked inside it and saw animals, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds.

7 I heard a voice say to me, 'Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.'

8 But I said, 'No, Lord! I have never eaten anything that is unholy or unclean.'

9 But the voice from heaven spoke again, 'God has made these things clean, so don't call them unholy.'

10 This happened three times. Then the whole thing was taken back to heaven.

11 Right then three men who were sent to me from Caesarea came to the house where I was staying.

12 The Spirit told me to go with them without doubting. These six believers here also went with me, and we entered the house of Cornelius.

13 He told us about the angel he saw standing in his house. The angel said to him, 'Send some men to Joppa and invite Simon Peter to come.

14 By the words he will say to you, you and all your family will be saved.'

15 When I began my speech, the Holy Spirit came on them just as he came on us at the beginning.

16 Then I remembered the words of the Lord. He said, 'John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'

17 Since God gave them the same gift he gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, how could I stop the work of God?"

18 When the Jewish believers heard this, they stopped arguing. They praised God and said, "So God is allowing even those who are not Jewish to turn to him and live."

19 Many of the believers were scattered when they were persecuted after Stephen was killed. Some of them went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch telling the message to others, but only to Jews.

20 Some of these believers were people from Cyprus and Cyrene. When they came to Antioch, they spoke also to Greeks, telling them the Good News about the Lord Jesus.

21 The Lord was helping the believers, and a large group of people believed and turned to the Lord.

22 The church in Jerusalem heard about all of this, so they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

23

24 Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and full of faith. When he reached Antioch and saw how God had blessed the people, he was glad. He encouraged all the believers in Antioch always to obey the Lord with all their hearts, and many people became followers of the Lord.

25 Then Barnabas went to the city of Tarsus to look for Saul,

26 and when he found Saul, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year Saul and Barnabas met with the church and taught many people there. In Antioch the followers were called Christians for the first time.

27 About that time some prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.

28 One of them, named Agabus, stood up and spoke with the help of the Holy Spirit. He said, "A very hard time is coming to the whole world. There will be no food to eat." (This happened when Claudius ruled.)

29 The believers all decided to help the followers who lived in Judea, as much as each one could.

30 They gathered the money and gave it to Barnabas and Saul, who brought it to the elders in Judea.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 audierunt autem apostoli et fratres qui erant in Iudaea quoniam et gentes receperunt verbum Dei

2 cum ascendisset autem Petrus in Hierosolymam disceptabant adversus illum qui erant ex circumcisione

3 dicentes quare introisti ad viros praeputium habentes et manducasti cum illis

4 incipiens autem Petrus exponebat illis ordinem dicens

5 ego eram in civitate Ioppe orans et vidi in excessu mentis visionem descendens vas quoddam velut linteum magnum quattuor initiis submitti de caelo et venit usque ad me

6 in quod intuens considerabam et vidi quadrupedia terrae et bestias et reptilia et volatilia caeli

7 audivi autem et vocem dicentem mihi surgens Petre occide et manduca

8 dixi autem nequaquam Domine quia commune aut inmundum numquam introivit in os meum

9 respondit autem vox secundo de caelo quae Deus mundavit tu ne commune dixeris

10 hoc autem factum est per ter et recepta sunt rursum omnia in caelum

11 et ecce confestim tres viri adstiterunt in domo in qua eram missi a Caesarea ad me

12 dixit autem Spiritus mihi ut irem cum illis nihil haesitans venerunt autem mecum et sex fratres isti et ingressi sumus in domum viri

13 narravit autem nobis quomodo vidisset angelum in domo sua stantem et dicentem sibi mitte in Ioppen et accersi Simonem qui cognominatur Petrus

14 qui loquetur tibi verba in quibus salvus eris tu et universa domus tua

15 cum autem coepissem loqui decidit Spiritus Sanctus super eos sicut et in nos in initio

16 recordatus sum autem verbi Domini sicut dicebat Iohannes quidem baptizavit aqua vos autem baptizabimini Spiritu Sancto

17 si ergo eandem gratiam dedit illis Deus sicut et nobis qui credidimus in Dominum Iesum Christum ego quis eram qui possem prohibere Deum

18 his auditis tacuerunt et glorificaverunt Deum dicentes ergo et gentibus Deus paenitentiam ad vitam dedit

19 et illi quidem qui dispersi fuerant a tribulatione quae facta fuerat sub Stephano perambulaverunt usque Foenicen et Cyprum et Antiochiam nemini loquentes verbum nisi solis Iudaeis

20 erant autem quidam ex eis viri cyprii et cyrenei qui cum introissent Antiochiam loquebantur et ad Graecos adnuntiantes Dominum Iesum

21 et erat manus Domini cum eis multusque numerus credentium conversus est ad Dominum

22 pervenit autem sermo ad aures ecclesiae quae erat Hierosolymis super istis et miserunt Barnaban usque Antiochiam

23 qui cum pervenisset et vidisset gratiam Dei gavisus est et hortabatur omnes proposito cordis permanere in Domino

24 quia erat vir bonus et plenus Spiritu Sancto et fide et adposita est turba multa Domino

25 profectus est autem Tarsum ut quaereret Saulum quem cum invenisset perduxit Antiochiam

26 et annum totum conversati sunt in ecclesia et docuerunt turbam multam ita ut cognominarentur primum Antiochiae discipuli Christiani

27 in his autem diebus supervenerunt ab Hierosolymis prophetae Antiochiam

28 et surgens unus ex eis nomine Agabus significabat per Spiritum famem magnam futuram in universo orbe terrarum quae facta est sub Claudio

29 discipuli autem prout quis habebat proposuerunt singuli eorum in ministerium mittere habitantibus in Iudaea fratribus

30 quod et fecerunt mittentes ad seniores per manus Barnabae et Sauli
