The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 audierunt autem apostoli et fratres qui erant in Iudaea quoniam et gentes receperunt verbum Dei
1
Now the apostles and brethren who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
2 cum ascendisset autem Petrus in Hierosolymam disceptabant adversus illum qui erant ex circumcisione
2
And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision contended with him,
3 dicentes quare introisti ad viros praeputium habentes et manducasti cum illis
3
saying, "You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!"
4 incipiens autem Petrus exponebat illis ordinem dicens
4
But Peter explained it to them in order from the beginning, saying:
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
5
"I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, an object descending like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came to me.
6 in quod intuens considerabam et vidi quadrupedia terrae et bestias et reptilia et volatilia caeli
6
When I observed it intently and considered, I saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air.
7 audivi autem et vocem dicentem mihi surgens Petre occide et manduca
7
And I heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter; kill and eat.'
8 dixi autem nequaquam Domine quia commune aut inmundum numquam introivit in os meum
8
But I said, 'Not so, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth.'
9 respondit autem vox secundo de caelo quae Deus mundavit tu ne commune dixeris
9
But the voice answered me again from heaven, 'What God has cleansed you must not call common.'
10 hoc autem factum est per ter et recepta sunt rursum omnia in caelum
10
Now this was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11 et ecce confestim tres viri adstiterunt in domo in qua eram missi a Caesarea ad me
11
At that very moment, three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
12 dixit autem Spiritus mihi ut irem cum illis nihil haesitans venerunt autem mecum et sex fratres isti et ingressi sumus in domum viri
12
Then the Spirit told me to go with them, doubting nothing. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered the man's house.
13 narravit autem nobis quomodo vidisset angelum in domo sua stantem et dicentem sibi mitte in Ioppen et accersi Simonem qui cognominatur Petrus
13
And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, 'Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter,
14 qui loquetur tibi verba in quibus salvus eris tu et universa domus tua
14
who will tell you words by which you and all your household will be saved.'
15 cum autem coepissem loqui decidit Spiritus Sanctus super eos sicut et in nos in initio
15
And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning.
16 recordatus sum autem verbi Domini sicut dicebat Iohannes quidem baptizavit aqua vos autem baptizabimini Spiritu Sancto
16
Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, 'John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'
17 si ergo eandem gratiam dedit illis Deus sicut et nobis qui credidimus in Dominum Iesum Christum ego quis eram qui possem prohibere Deum
17
If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?"
18 his auditis tacuerunt et glorificaverunt Deum dicentes ergo et gentibus Deus paenitentiam ad vitam dedit
18
When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life."
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
19
Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but the Jews only.
20 erant autem quidam ex eis viri cyprii et cyrenei qui cum introissent Antiochiam loquebantur et ad Graecos adnuntiantes Dominum Iesum
20
But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21 et erat manus Domini cum eis multusque numerus credentium conversus est ad Dominum
21
And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
22 pervenit autem sermo ad aures ecclesiae quae erat Hierosolymis super istis et miserunt Barnaban usque Antiochiam
22
Then news of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch.
23 qui cum pervenisset et vidisset gratiam Dei gavisus est et hortabatur omnes proposito cordis permanere in Domino
23
When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord.
24 quia erat vir bonus et plenus Spiritu Sancto et fide et adposita est turba multa Domino
24
For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord.
25 profectus est autem Tarsum ut quaereret Saulum quem cum invenisset perduxit Antiochiam
25
Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul.
26 et annum totum conversati sunt in ecclesia et docuerunt turbam multam ita ut cognominarentur primum Antiochiae discipuli Christiani
26
And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
27 in his autem diebus supervenerunt ab Hierosolymis prophetae Antiochiam
27
And in these days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28 et surgens unus ex eis nomine Agabus significabat per Spiritum famem magnam futuram in universo orbe terrarum quae facta est sub Claudio
28
Then one of them, named Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius Caesar.
29 discipuli autem prout quis habebat proposuerunt singuli eorum in ministerium mittere habitantibus in Iudaea fratribus
29
Then the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea.
30 quod et fecerunt mittentes ad seniores per manus Barnabae et Sauli
30
This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
