And it drew near to me. <A name="7"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/11-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>And looking into it, I considered and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the flying things of the air. <A name="8"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/11-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Then I also heard a voice saying to me: ‘Rise up, Peter. Kill and eat.’ <A name="9"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/11-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>But I said: ‘Never, lord! For what is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’ <A name="10"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/11-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Then the voice responded a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you shall not call common.’ <A name="11"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/11-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Now this was done three times. And then everything was taken up again into heaven. <A name="12"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/11-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>And behold, immediately there were three men standing near the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea. <A name="13"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/11-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Then the Spirit told me that I should go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers went with me also. And we entered into the house of the man. <A name="14"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/11-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>And he described for us how he had seen an Angel in his house, standing and saying to him: ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. <A name="15"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/11-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>And he shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved with your whole house.’ <A name="16"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/11-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning. <A name="17"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/11-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>Then I remembered the words of the Lord, just as he himself said: ‘John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ <A name="18"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/11-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>Therefore, if God gave them the same grace, as also to us, who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I would be able to prohibit God?” <A name="19"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/11-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Having heard these things, they were silent.

And a great multitude was added to the Lord. <A name="26"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/11-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>Then Barnabas set out for Tarsus, so that he might seek Saul. And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. <A name="27"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/11-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>And they were conversing there in the Church for an entire year.
