ABP - Acts - 11

11:1  [4heard 1And 2the 3apostles], and the brethren being in Judea, that also the nations received the word of God.

11:2  And when Peter ascended unto Jerusalem, [4argued 5with 6him 1the ones 2of 3the circumcision],

11:3  saying that, To men [2an uncircumcised condition 1having] -- you entered and ate with them?

11:4  And beginning, Peter displayed to them in order, saying,

11:5  I was in the city of Joppa praying. And I beheld in a change of state a vision, [2coming down 1a certain item] as [2piece of cloth 1a great], [2by four 3corners 1being lowered] from the heaven, and it came as far as me;

11:6  on which having gazed upon I contemplated, and I saw the four-footed creatures of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the birds of the heaven.

11:7  And I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen up, Peter, sacrifice and eat!

11:8  And I said, By no means, O Lord, for all common or unclean at no time entered into my mouth.

11:9  [3responded 1And 4to me 2the voice] a second time from out of heaven, What God cleansed, you are not to make unclean!

11:10  And this happened unto three times, and again it was pulled up all together into the heaven.

11:11  And behold, immediately three men stood at the house in which I was, ones being sent from Caesarea to me.

11:12  [4said 1And 5to me 2the 3spirit] to come together with them, [2nothing 1examining]. And went with me also [2six 3brethren 1these], and we entered into the house of the man.

11:13  And he reported to us how he beheld the angel in his house, standing and having said to him, Send [2unto 3Joppa 1men], and fetch Simon, the one called Peter!

11:14  who shall speak words to you by which you shall be delivered, you and all your house.

11:15  And in my beginning to speak, [4fell 1the 3spirit 2holy] upon them as also upon us in the beginning.

11:16  And I remembered the saying of the Lord, how he said, John indeed immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in [2spirit 1holy].

11:17  If then [4the 5equal 6present 2gave 3to them 1God] as also to us having believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, then I, who was I to be able to restrain God?

11:18  And having heard these things, they were still, and they glorified God, saying, It is so indeed that also to the nations God [2repentance 1gave] unto life.

11:19  The ones indeed then being disseminated because of the affliction taking place with Stephen, went unto Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, [4to no one 1speaking 2the 3word] except only to Jews.

11:20  And there were certain [2of 3them 1men], Cypriots and Cyrenians, who having entered unto Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, announcing good news -- the Lord Jesus.

11:21  And [3was 1the hand 2of the Lord] with them; and a great number having believed, turned unto the Lord.

11:22  [4was heard 1And 2the 3word] in the ears of the assembly in Jerusalem concerning them; and they sent out Barnabas to go through unto Antioch.

11:23  Who, having come, and having seen the favor of God, rejoiced, and exhorted all to the attention of the heart to remain in the Lord.

11:24  For he was [2man 1a good], and full [2spirit 1of holy] and of belief. And [3was added 2multitude 1a fit] to the Lord.

11:25  [3went forth 1And 4unto 5Tarsus 2Barnabas] to search out Saul.

11:26  And having found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass to them [6year 5a whole 1to be gathered 2with 3the 4assembly], and to teach [2multitude 1a fit]. [4were 6treated 1And 5first 8in 9Antioch 2the 3disciples 7as Christians].

11:27  [2in 3these 1And] days came down from Jerusalem prophets unto Antioch.

11:28  And having risen, one of them, by name Agabus, signified through the spirit [2famine 1a great] about to be upon the entire world; which also came to pass under Claudius Caesar.

11:29  And the disciples, as any one was well-provided, [3confirmed 1each 2of them] for service to send help to the [2dwelling 3in 4Judea 1brethren];

11:30  which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
