  1. Part Twenty-Seven Acts 11

  2. Acts 11:1-30

  3. Acts 11:1 Now the apostles and the brethren who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

  4. Acts 11:2 And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those who were circumcised took issue with him, saying,

  5. Acts 11:3 “You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them.”

  6. Acts 11:4 But Peter began speaking and proceeded to explain to them in orderly sequence, saying,

  7. Acts 11:5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain object coming down like a great sheet lowered by four corners from the sky; and it came right down to me,

  8. Acts 11:6 and when I had fixed my gaze upon it and was observing it I saw the four-footed animals of the earth and the wild beasts and the crawling creatures and the birds of the air.

  9. Acts 11:7 And I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Arise, Peter, kill and eat.’

  10. Acts 11:8 But I said, ‘By no means, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

  11. Acts 11:9 But a voice from heaven answered a second time, ‘What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.’

  12. Acts 11:10 And this happened three times, and everything was drawn back up in the sky.

  13. Acts 11:11 And behold, at that moment three men appeared before the house in which we were staying, having been sent to me from Caesarea.

  14. Acts 11:12 And the Spirit told me to go with them without mis-givings. And these six brethren also went with me, and we entered the man’s house.

  15. Acts 11:13 And he reported to us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying, ‘Send to Joppa, and have Simon, who is also called Peter, brought here;

  16. Acts 11:14 and he shall speak words to you by which you will be saved, you and all your household.’

  17. Acts 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as He did upon us, at the beginning.

  18. Acts 11:16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, ‘John baptized you with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

  19. Acts 11:17 If God therefore gave to them the same gift as He gave to us also after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God’s way?”

  20. Acts 11:18 And when they heard this, they quieted down, and glorified God, saying, “Well then, God has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life.”

  21. Acts 11:19 So then those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose in connection with Stephen made there way to Phoenicia and Cyprus and

  22. Acts 11:19 Antioch, speaking the word to no one except the Jews alone.

  23. Acts 11:20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who came to Antioch and began speaking to the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus.

  24. Acts 11:21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a large number who believed turned to the Lord.

  25. Acts 11:22 And the news about them reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas off to Antioch.

  26. Acts 11:23 Then when he had come and witnessed the grace of God, he rejoiced and began to encourage them all with resolute heart to remain true to the Lord;

  27. Acts 11:24 for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And considerable numbers were brought to the Lord.

  28. Acts 11:25 And he left for Tarsus to look for Saul,

  29. Acts 11:26 and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came about that for an entire year they met with the church, and taught considerable numbers;

  30. Acts 11:26 and the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.

  31. Acts 11:27 Now at this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

  32. Acts 11:28 And one of them named Agabus stood up and began to indicate by the Spirit that there would certainly be a great famine all over the world.

  33. Acts 11:28 And this took place in the reign of Claudius.

  34. Acts 11:29 And in the proportion that any of the disciples had means, each of them determined to send a contribution for the relief of the brethren living in Judea.

  35. Acts 11:30 And this they did, sending it in charge of Barnabas and Saul to the elders.
