Act 11:1 Now the Ambassadors and other believers who were in Judea heard that the non-Judeans also received the Word of God.
Act 11:2 But when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the Judeans confronted him
Act 11:3 and said, “You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
Act 11:4 So Peter gave them the order of events:
Act 11:5 “I was praying in the city of Joppa, when I fell into a trance. I saw a vision of a container made of a large sheet held by its four corners coming down to me from heaven.
Act 11:6 I examined it closely and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, the wild animals, the reptiles, and the birds of the sky.
Act 11:7 Then I heard a voice telling me, ‘Get up, Peter! Slaughter and eat!’
Act 11:8 “But I objected, ‘Absolutely not, Master! Nothing contaminated or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’
Act 11:9 Yet the voice from heaven responded a second time, ‘What God has cleansed, do not call contaminated!’
Act 11:10 This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven.
Act 11:11 “Suddenly there were three men waiting at the house where we were, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
Act 11:12 Then the Spirit told me to go along with them without prejudice. These six fellow believers also came with me, and we entered the man’s house.
Act 11:13 He reported to us how he saw the Messenger standing in his house and saying, ‘Send people to Joppa to ask for Simon who is also called Peter.
Act 11:14 He will proclaim to you how you can be saved— you and your entire household.’
Act 11:15 “But as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as it did on us at the beginning.
Act 11:16 And then I remembered what the Master declared when he said, ‘John did indeed immerse you in water, but you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit’.
Act 11:17 So since God gave them the same gift he gave to us when we put our trust in Master Jesus the Anointed, who was I to get in God’s way?”
Act 11:18 Upon hearing all this, they calmed down and praised God: “So it is, that God has also granted the non-Judeans the option to change their minds toward life!”
Act 11:19 Now it happened that those who had been scattered, due to the persecution that began over Stephen, went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch. But they had only spoken the Word to Judeans.
Act 11:20 However, some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene who went into Antioch and spoke to the Greeks as well, telling them the Gospel about Master Jesus.
Act 11:21 The power of the Master was with them, and as a result a great number who believed turned toward the Master.
Act 11:22 This report reached the Congregation in Jerusalem, so they dispatched Barnabas to Antioch.
Act 11:23 Arriving there, he saw the favor of God and was very happy, and he passionately urged everyone to remain with the Master.
Act 11:24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a sizable crowd was added to the Master.
Act 11:25 Then he went away to Tarsus to look for Saul.
Act 11:26 When he found him, he took him to Antioch. It turned out that they stayed a whole year with that Congregation, teaching a large crowd. And it was at Antioch that the disciples were first labeled Christians.
Act 11:27 Now in those days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Act 11:28 One of them, named Agabus, stood up and indicated through the Spirit that a great famine was about to come upon the whole inhabited world; this occurred during the rule of Claudius.
Act 11:29 So the disciples, in proportion to how each had prospered, set funds aside to be distributed to the sisters and brothers living in Judea.
Act 11:30 They chose to send it to the elders via Barnabas and Saul.

Act 11:1 ηκουσαν δε οἱ αποστολοι και οἱ αδελφοι οἱ οντες κατα την ιουδαιαν ὁτι και τα εθνη εδεξαντο τον λογον του θεου
Act 11:2 ὁτε δε ανεβη πετρος εις ιερουσαλημ διεκρινοντο προς αυτον οἱ εκ περιτομης
Act 11:3 λεγοντες ὁτι εισηλθες προς ανδρας ακροβυστιαν εχοντας και συνεφαγες αυτοις
Act 11:4 αρξαμενος δε πετρος εξετιθετο αυτοις καθεξης λεγων
Act 11:5 εγω ημην εν πολει ιοππη προσευχομενος και ειδον εν εκστασει ὁραμα καταβαινον σκευος τι ὡς οθονην μεγαλην τεσσαρσιν αρχαις καθιεμενην εκ του ουρανου και ηλθεν αχρι εμου
Act 11:6 εις ἡν ατενισας κατενοουν και ειδον τα τετραποδα της γης και τα θηρια και τα ἑρπετα και τα πετεινα του ουρανου
Act 11:7 ηκουσα δε και φωνης λεγουσης μοι αναστας πετρε θυσον και φαγε
Act 11:8 ειπον δε μηδαμως κυριε ὁτι κοινον η ακαθαρτον ουδεποτε εισηλθεν εις το στομα μου
Act 11:9 απεκριθη δε φωνη εκ δευτερου εκ του ουρανου ἁ ὁ θεος εκαθαρισεν συ μη κοινου
Act 11:10 τουτο δε εγενετο επι τρις και ανεσπασθη παλιν ἁπαντα εις τον ουρανον
Act 11:11 και ιδου εξαυτης τρεις ανδρες επεστησαν επι την οικιαν εν ἡ ημεν απεσταλμενοι απο καισαρειας προς με
Act 11:12 ειπεν δε το πνευμα μοι συνελθειν αυτοις μηδεν διακριναντα ηλθον δε συν εμοι και οἱ ἑξ αδελφοι οὑτοι και εισηλθομεν εις τον οικον του ανδρος
Act 11:13 απηγγειλεν δε ἡμιν πως ειδεν τον αγγελον εν τω οικω αυτου σταθεντα και ειποντα αποστειλον εις ιοππην και μεταπεμψαι σιμωνα τον επικαλουμενον πετρον
Act 11:14 ὁς λαλησει ῥηματα προς σε εν οἱς σωθηση συ και πας ὁ οικος σου
Act 11:15 εν δε τω αρξασθαι με λαλειν επεπεσεν το πνευμα το ἁγιον επ᾽ αυτους ὡσπερ και εφ᾽ ἡμας εν αρχη
Act 11:16 εμνησθην δε του ῥηματος του κυριου ὡς ελεγεν ιωαννης μεν εβαπτισεν ὑδατι ὑμεις δε βαπτισθησεσθε εν πνευματι ἁγιω
Act 11:17 ει ουν την ισην δωρεαν εδωκεν αυτοις ὁ θεος ὡς και ἡμιν πιστευσασιν επι τον κυριον ιησουν χριστον εγω τις ημην δυνατος κωλυσαι τον θεον
Act 11:18 ακουσαντες δε ταυτα ἡσυχασαν και εδοξασαν τον θεον λεγοντες αρα και τοις εθνεσιν ὁ θεος την μετανοιαν εις ζωην εδωκεν
Act 11:19 οἱ μεν ουν διασπαρεντες απο της θλιψεως της γενομενης επι στεφανω διηλθον ἑως φοινικης και κυπρου και αντιοχειας μηδενι λαλουντες τον λογον ει μη μονον ιουδαιοις
Act 11:20 ησαν δε τινες εξ αυτων ανδρες κυπριοι και κυρηναιοι οἱτινες ελθοντες εις αντιοχειαν ελαλουν και προς τους ἑλληνιστας ευαγγελιζομενοι τον κυριον ιησουν
Act 11:21 και ην χειρ κυριου μετ᾽ αυτων πολυς τε αριθμος ὁ πιστευσας επεστρεψεν επι τον κυριον
Act 11:22 ηκουσθη δε ὁ λογος εις τα ωτα της εκκλησιας της ουσης εν ιερουσαλημ περι αυτων και εξαπεστειλαν βαρναβαν διελθειν ἑως αντιοχειας
Act 11:23 ὁς παραγενομενος και ιδων την χαριν την του θεου εχαρη και παρεκαλει παντας τη προθεσει της καρδιας προσμενειν τω κυριω
Act 11:24 ὁτι ην ανηρ αγαθος και πληρης πνευματος ἁγιου και πιστεως και προσετεθη οχλος ἱκανος τω κυριω
Act 11:25 εξηλθεν δε εις ταρσον αναζητησαι σαυλον
Act 11:26 και εὑρων ηγαγεν εις αντιοχειαν εγενετο δε αυτοις και ενιαυτον ὁλον συναχθηναι εν τη εκκλησια και διδαξαι οχλον ἱκανον χρηματισαι τε πρωτως εν αντιοχεια τους μαθητας χριστιανους
Act 11:27 εν ταυταις δε ταις ἡμεραις κατηλθον απο ἱεροσολυμων προφηται εις αντιοχειαν
Act 11:28 αναστας δε εἱς εξ αυτων ονοματι ἁγαβος εσημανεν δια του πνευματος λιμον μεγαλην μελλειν εσεσθαι εφ᾽ ὁλην την οικουμενην ἡτις εγενετο επι κλαυδιου
Act 11:29 των δε μαθητων καθως ευπορειτο τις ὡρισαν ἑκαστος αυτων εις διακονιαν πεμψαι τοις κατοικουσιν εν τη ιουδαια αδελφοις
Act 11:30 ὁ και εποιησαν αποστειλαντες προς τους πρεσβυτερους δια χειρος βαρναβα και σαυλου
