Acts 11

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 The apostles and the believers all through Judea heard that people who were not Jews had also received God's word.

2 Peter went up to Jerusalem. There the Jewish believers found fault with him.

3 They said, "You went into the house of those who aren't Jews. You ate with them."

4 Peter explained everything to them. He told them exactly what had happened.

5 "I was in the city of Joppa praying," he said. "There I had a vision. I saw something that looked like a large sheet. It was being let down from heaven by its four corners. It came down to where I was.

6 I looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the earth. There were also wild animals, reptiles and birds.

7 Then I heard a voice speaking to me. 'Get up, Peter,' the voice said. 'Kill and eat.'

8 "I replied, 'No, Lord! I will not! Nothing that is not pure and "clean" has ever entered my mouth.'

9 "A second time the voice spoke from heaven. 'Do not say anything is not pure that God has made "clean," ' the voice said.

10 This happened three times. Then the sheet was pulled up into heaven.

11 "Just then three men stopped at the house where I was staying. They had been sent to me from Caesarea.

12 The Holy Spirit told me not to let anything keep me from going with them. These six brothers here went with me. We entered the man's house.

13 He told us how he had seen an angel appear in his house. The angel said, 'Send to Joppa for Simon Peter.

14 He has a message to bring to you. You and your whole family will be saved through it.'

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

16 Then I remembered the Lord's words. 'John baptized with water,' he had said. 'But you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'

17 God gave them the same gift he gave those of us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. So who was I to think that I could oppose God?"

18 When they heard this, they didn't object anymore. They praised God. They said, "So then, God has allowed even those who aren't Jews to turn away from their sins and live."

19 Some believers had been scattered by the suffering that came to them after Stephen's death. They traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch. But they told the message only to Jews.

20 Some believers from Cyprus and Cyrene went to Antioch. There they began to speak to Greeks also. They told them the good news about the Lord Jesus.

21 The Lord's power was with them. Large numbers of people believed and turned to the Lord.

22 The church in Jerusalem heard about this. So they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

23 When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad. He told them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.

24 Barnabas was a good man. He was full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. Large numbers of people came to know the Lord.

25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul.

26 He found him there. Then he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church. They taught large numbers of people. At Antioch the believers were called Christians for the first time.

27 In those days some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

28 One of them was named Agabus. He stood up and spoke through the Spirit. He said there would not be nearly enough food anywhere in the Roman world. This happened while Claudius was the emperor.

29 The believers decided to provide help for the brothers and sisters living in Judea. All of them helped as much as they could.

30 They sent their gift to the elders through Barnabas and Saul.

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
