Acts 10:44-11:10
44 |
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. |
45 |
And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. |
46 |
For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered, |
47 |
Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have? |
48 |
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days. |
1 |
Now the apostles and brethren who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. |
2 |
And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision contended with him, |
3 |
saying, "You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!" |
4 |
But Peter explained it to them in order from the beginning, saying: |
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 |
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 |
And I heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter; kill and eat.' |
8 |
But I said, 'Not so, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth.' |
9 |
But the voice answered me again from heaven, 'What God has cleansed you must not call common.' |
10 |
Now this was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven. |
