KJVAnd^G1161 the apostles^G652 and^G2532 brethren^G80 that were^G5607^(G5752) in^G2596 Judaea^G2449 heard^G191^(G5656) that^G3754 the Gentiles^G1484 had^G1209 also^G2532 received^G1209^(G5662) the word^G3056 of God^G2316.

² When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,

KJVAnd^G2532 when^G3753 Peter^G4074 was come up^G305^(G5627) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414, they that were of^G1537 the circumcision^G4061 contended^G1252^(G5710) with^G4314 him^G846,

³ saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723),^G3754 Thou wentest in^G1525^(G5627) to^G4314 men^G435 uncircumcised^G203^G2192^(G5723), and^G2532 didst eat^G4906^(G5627) with them^G846.

⁴ But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,

KJVBut^G1161 Peter^G4074 rehearsed the matter from the beginning^G756^(G5671), and expounded^G1620^(G5710) it by order^G2517 unto them^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723),

⁵ “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.

KJVI^G1473 was^G2252^(G5713) in^G1722 the city^G4172 of Joppa^G2445 praying^G4336^(G5740): and^G2532 in^G1722 a trance^G1611 I saw^G1492^(G5627) a vision^G3705, A certain^G5100 vessel^G4632 descend^G2597^(G5723), as it had been^G5613 a great^G3173 sheet^G3607, let down^G2524^(G5746) from^G1537 heaven^G3772 by four^G5064 corners^G746; and^G2532 it came^G2064^(G5627) even^G891 to me^G1700:

⁶ When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.

KJVUpon^G1519 the which^G3739 when I had fastened mine eyes^G816^(G5660), I considered^G2657^(G5707), and^G2532 saw^G1492^(G5627) fourfooted beasts^G5074 of the earth^G1093, and^G2532 wild beasts^G2342, and^G2532 creeping things^G2062, and^G2532 fowls^G4071 of the air^G3772.

⁷ I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’

KJVAnd^G1161 I heard^G191^(G5656) a voice^G5456 saying^G3004^(G5723) unto me^G3427, Arise^G450^(G5631), Peter^G4074; slay^G2380^(G5657) and^G2532 eat^G5315^(G5628).

⁸ But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’

KJVBut^G1161 I said^G2036^(G5627), Not so^G3365, Lord^G2962: for^G3754 nothing^G3956 common^G2839 or^G2228 unclean^G169 hath^G1525 at any time^G3763 entered^G1525^(G5627) into^G1519 my^G3450 mouth^G4750.

⁹ But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’

KJVBut^G1161 the voice^G5456 answered^G611^(G5662) me^G3427 again^G1537^G1208 from^G1537 heaven^G3772, What^G3739 God^G2316 hath cleansed^G2511^(G5656), that call^G2840 not^G3361 thou^G4771 common^G2840^(G5720).

¹⁰ This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

KJVAnd^G1161 this^G5124 was done^G1096^(G5633)^G1909 three times^G5151: and^G2532 all^G537 were drawn up^G385^(G5681) again^G3825 into^G1519 heaven^G3772.

¹¹ Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

KJVAnd^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), immediately^G1824 there were^G2186 three^G5140 men^G435 already^G1824 come^G2186^(G5627) unto^G1909 the house^G3614 where^G1722^G3739^G3739 I was^G2252^(G5713), sent^G649^(G5772) from^G575 Caesarea^G2542 unto^G4314 me^G3165.

¹² The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.

KJVAnd^G1161 the Spirit^G4151 bade^G2036^(G5627) me^G3427 go with^G4905^(G5629) them^G846, nothing^G3367 doubting^G1252^(G5734). Moreover^G1161^G2532 these^G3778 six^G1803 brethren^G80 accompanied^G4862^G2064^(G5627) me^G1698, and^G2532 we entered^G1525^(G5627) into^G1519 the man's^G435 house^G3624:

¹³ He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,

KJVAnd^G5037 he shewed^G518^(G5656) us^G2254 how^G4459 he had seen^G1492^(G5627) an angel^G32 in^G1722 his^G846 house^G3624, which stood^G2476^(G5685) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5631) unto him^G846, Send^G649^(G5657) men^G435 to^G1519 Joppa^G2445, and^G2532 call for^G3343^(G5663) Simon^G4613, whose surname is^G1941^(G5746) Peter^G4074;

¹⁴ who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’

KJVWho^G3739 shall tell^G2980^(G5692) thee^G4314^G4571 words^G4487, whereby^G1722^G3739 thou^G4771 and^G2532 all^G3956 thy^G4675 house^G3624 shall be saved^G4982^(G5701).

¹⁵ As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

KJVAnd^G1161 as^G1722 I^G3165 began^G756^(G5670) to speak^G2980^(G5721), the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 fell^G1968^(G5627) on^G1909 them^G846, as^G5618^G2532 on^G1909 us^G2248 at^G1722 the beginning^G746.

¹⁶ I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’

KJVThen^G1161 remembered I^G3415^(G5681) the word^G4487 of the Lord^G2962, how^G5613 that he said^G3004^(G5707), John^G2491 indeed^G3303 baptized^G907^(G5656) with water^G5204; but^G1161 ye^G5210 shall be baptized^G907^(G5701) with^G1722 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151.

¹⁷ If then God gave to them the same gift as us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”

KJVForasmuch^G1487 then^G3767 as^G5613 God^G2316 gave^G1325^(G5656) them^G846 the like^G2470 gift^G1431 as^G2532 he did unto us^G2254, who believed^G4100^(G5660) on^G1909 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547;^G1161 what^G5101 was^G2252^(G5713) I^G1473, that I could^G1415 withstand^G2967^(G5658) God^G2316?

¹⁸ When they heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”

KJVWhen^G1161 they heard^G191^(G5660) these things^G5023, they held their peace^G2270^(G5656), and^G2532 glorified^G1392^(G5707) God^G2316, saying^G3004^(G5723), Then^G686 hath^G1325 God^G2316 also^G2534 to the Gentiles^G1484 granted^G1325^(G5656) repentance^G3341 unto^G1519 life^G2222.

¹⁹ They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.

KJVNow^G3767^G3303 they which were scattered abroad^G1289^(G5651) upon^G575 the persecution^G2347 that arose^G1096^(G5637) about^G1909 Stephen^G4736 travelled^G1330^(G5627) as far as^G2193 Phenice^G5403, and^G2532 Cyprus^G2954, and^G2532 Antioch^G490, preaching^G2980^(G5723) the word^G3056 to none^G3367 but^G1508 unto the Jews^G2453 only^G3440.

²⁰ But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.

KJVAnd^G1161 some^G5100 of^G1537 them^G846 were^G2258^(G5713) men^G435 of Cyprus^G2953 and^G2532 Cyrene^G2956, which^G3748, when they were come^G1525^(G5631) to^G1519 Antioch^G490, spake^G2980^(G5707) unto^G4314 the Grecians^G1675, preaching^G2097^(G5734) the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424.

²¹ The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

KJVAnd^G2532 the hand^G5495 of the Lord^G2962 was^G2258^(G5713) with^G3326 them^G846: and^G5037 a great^G4183 number^G706 believed^G4100^(G5660), and turned^G1994^(G5656) unto^G1909 the Lord^G2962.

KJVThen^G1161 tidings^G3056 of^G4012 these things^G846 came^G191^(G5681) unto^G1519 the ears^G3775 of the church^G1577 which^G3588 was in^G1722 Jerusalem^G2414: and^G2532 they sent forth^G1821^(G5656) Barnabas^G921, that he should go^G1330^(G5629) as far as^G2193 Antioch^G490.

²³ who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.

KJVWho^G3739, when he came^G3854^(G5637), and^G2532 had seen^G1492^(G5631) the grace^G5485 of God^G2316, was glad^G5463^(G5644), and^G2532 exhorted^G3870^(G5707) them all^G3956, that with purpose^G4286 of heart^G2588 they would cleave unto^G4357^(G5721) the Lord^G2962.

¹⁸ and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.

KJVAnd^G2532 called^G5455^(G5660), and asked^G4441^(G5711) whether^G1487 Simon^G4613, which^G3588 was surnamed^G1941^(G5746) Peter^G4074, were lodged^G3579^(G5743) there^G1759.

¹⁹ While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.

KJVWhile^G1161 Peter^G4074 thought^G1760^(G5740) on^G4012 the vision^G3705, the Spirit^G4151 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Behold^G2400^(G5628), three^G5140 men^G435 seek^G2212^(G5719) thee^G4571.

²⁰ But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”

KJVArise^G450^(G5631) therefore^G235, and get thee down^G2597^(G5628), and^G2532 go^G4198^(G5737) with^G4862 them^G846, doubting^G1252^(G5734) nothing^G3367: for^G1360 I^G1473 have sent^G649^(G5758) them^G846.

²¹ Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”

KJVThen^G1161 Peter^G4074 went down^G2597^(G5631) to^G4314 the men^G435 which^G3588 were sent^G649^(G5772) unto^G4314 him^G846 from^G575 Cornelius^G2883; and said^G2036^(G5627), Behold^G2400^(G5628), I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) he whom^G3739 ye seek^G2212^(G5719): what^G5101 is the cause^G156 wherefore^G1223^G3739 ye are come^G3918^(G5748)?

²² They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”

KJVAnd^G1161 they said^G2036^(G5627), Cornelius^G2883 the centurion^G1543, a just^G1342 man^G435, and^G2532 one that feareth^G5399^(G5740) God^G2316, and^G5037 of good report^G3140^(G5746) among^G5259 all^G3650 the nation^G1484 of the Jews^G2453, was warned from God^G5537^(G5681) by^G5259 an holy^G40 angel^G32 to send^G3343^(G5664) for thee^G4571 into^G1519 his^G846 house^G3624, and^G2532 to hear^G191^(G5658) words^G4487 of^G3844 thee^G4675.

²³ So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.

KJVThen^G3767 called he^G1528 them^G846 in^G1528^(G5662), and lodged^G3579^(G5656) them. And^G1161 on the morrow^G1887 Peter^G4074 went away^G1831^(G5627) with^G4862 them^G846, and^G2532 certain^G5100 brethren^G80 from^G575 Joppa^G2445 accompanied^G4905^(G5627) him^G846.

²⁴ On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.

KJVAnd^G2532 the morrow^G1887 after they entered^G1525^(G5627) into^G1519 Caesarea^G2542. And^G1161 Cornelius^G2883 waited for^G4328^(G5723) them^G846^G2258^(G5713), and had called together^G4779^(G5671) his^G846 kinsmen^G4773 and^G2532 near^G316 friends^G5384.

²⁵ When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.

KJVAnd^G1161 as^G5613 Peter^G4074 was^G1096^(G5633) coming in^G1525^(G5629), Cornelius^G2883 met^G4876^(G5660) him^G846, and fell down^G4098^(G5631) at^G1909 his feet^G4228, and worshipped^G4352^(G5656) him.

²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”

KJVBut^G1161 Peter^G4074 took^G1453 him^G846 up^G1453^(G5656), saying^G3004^(G5723), Stand up^G450^(G5628); I^G2504 myself^G846 also^G2504 am^G1510^(G5748) a man^G444.

²⁷ As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.

KJVAnd^G2532 as he talked^G4926^(G5723) with him^G846, he went in^G1525^(G5627), and^G2532 found^G2147^(G5719) many^G4183 that were come together^G4905^(G5761).

²⁸ He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.

KJVAnd^G5037 he said^G5346^(G5713) unto^G4314 them^G846, Ye^G5210 know^G1987^(G5736) how^G5613 that it is^G2076^(G5748) an unlawful thing^G111 for a man^G435 that is a Jew^G2453 to keep company^G2853^(G5745), or^G2228 come unto^G4334^(G5738) one of another nation^G246; but^G2532 God^G2316 hath shewed^G1166^(G5656) me^G1698 that I should not^G3367 call^G3004^(G5721) any^G3367 man^G444 common^G2839 or^G2228 unclean^G169.

²⁹ Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”

KJVTherefore^G1352^G2532 came I^G2064^(G5627) unto you without gainsaying^G369, as soon as I was sent for^G3343^(G5685): I ask^G4441^(G5736) therefore^G3767 for what^G5101 intent^G3056 ye have sent for^G3343^(G5662) me^G3165?

³⁰ Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing

KJVAnd^G2532 Cornelius^G2883 said^G5346^(G5713), Four^G5067 days^G2250 ago^G575 I was^G2252^(G5713) fasting^G3522^(G5723) until^G3360 this^G5026 hour^G5610; and^G2532 at the ninth^G1766 hour^G5610 I prayed^G4336^(G5740) in^G1722 my^G3450 house^G3624, and^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), a man^G435 stood^G2476^(G5627) before^G1799 me^G3450 in^G1722 bright^G2986 clothing^G2066,

³¹ and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.

KJVAnd^G2532 said^G5346^(G5748), Cornelius^G2883, thy^G4675 prayer^G4335 is heard^G1522^(G5681), and^G2532 thine^G4675 alms^G1654 are had in remembrance^G3415^(G5681) in the sight^G1799 of God^G2316.

³² Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’

KJVSend^G3992^(G5657) therefore^G3767 to^G1519 Joppa^G2445, and^G2532 call hither^G3333^(G5669) Simon^G4613, whose^G3739 surname is^G1941^(G5743) Peter^G4074; he^G3778 is lodged^G3579^(G5743) in^G1722 the house^G3614 of one Simon^G4613 a tanner^G1038 by^G3844 the sea side^G2281: who^G3739, when he cometh^G3854^(G5637), shall speak^G2980^(G5692) unto thee^G4671.

³³ Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”

KJVImmediately^G1824 therefore^G3767 I sent^G3992^(G5656) to^G4314 thee^G4571; and^G5037 thou^G4771 hast well^G2573 done^G4160^(G5656) that thou art come^G3854^(G5637). Now^G3568 therefore^G3767 are^G3918 we^G2249 all^G3956 here present^G3918^(G5748) before^G1799 God^G2316, to hear^G191^(G5658) all things^G3956 that are commanded^G4367^(G5772) thee^G4671 of^G5259 God^G2316.

³⁴ Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;

KJVThen^G1161 Peter^G4074 opened^G455^(G5660) his mouth^G4750, and said^G2036^(G5627), Of^G1909 a truth^G225 I perceive^G2638^(G5731) that^G3754 God^G2316 is^G2076^(G5748) no^G3756 respecter of persons^G4381:

³⁵ but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

KJVBut^G235 in^G1722 every^G3956 nation^G1484 he that feareth^G5399^(G5740) him^G846, and^G2532 worketh^G2038^(G5740) righteousness^G1343, is^G2076^(G5748) accepted^G1184 with him^G846.

³⁶ The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—

KJVThe word^G3056 which^G3739 God sent^G649^(G5656) unto the children^G5207 of Israel^G2474, preaching^G2097^(G5734) peace^G1515 by^G1223 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547:(he^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) Lord^G2962 of all^G3956:)

³⁷ you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

KJVThat word^G4487, I say, ye^G5210 know^G1492^(G5758), which was published^G1096^(G5637) throughout^G2596 all^G3650 Judaea^G2449, and began^G756^(G5671) from^G575 Galilee^G1056, after^G3326 the baptism^G908 which^G3739 John^G2491 preached^G2784^(G5656);

KJVHow^G5613 God^G2316 anointed^G5548^(G5656) Jesus^G2424 of^G575 Nazareth^G3478 with the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 and^G2532 with power^G1411: who^G846^G3739 went about^G1330^(G5627) doing good^G2109^(G5723), and^G2532 healing^G2390^(G5740) all^G3956 that were oppressed^G2616^(G5746) of^G5259 the devil^G1228; for^G3754 God^G2316 was^G2258^(G5713) with^G3326 him^G846.

³⁹ We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.

KJVAnd^G2532 we^G2249 are^G2070^(G5748) witnesses^G3144 of all things^G3956 which^G3739 he did^G4160^(G5656) both^G5037 in^G1722 the land^G5561 of the Jews^G2453, and^G2532 in^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419; whom^G3739 they slew^G337^(G5627) and hanged^G2910^(G5660) on^G1909 a tree^G3586:

⁴⁰ God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,

KJVHim^G5126 God^G2316 raised up^G1453^(G5656) the third^G5154 day^G2250, and^G2532 shewed^G1096^(G5635) him^G846 openly^G1717^G1325^(G5656);

⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

KJVNot^G3756 to all^G3956 the people^G2992, but^G235 unto witnesses^G3144 chosen before^G4401^(G5772) of^G5259 God^G2316, even to us^G2254, who^G3748 did eat^G4906^(G5627) and^G2532 drink with^G4844^(G5627) him^G846 after^G3326 he^G846 rose^G450^(G5629) from^G1537 the dead^G3498.

⁴³ All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”

KJVTo him^G5129 give^G3140 all^G3956 the prophets^G4396 witness^G3140^(G5719), that through^G1223 his^G846 name^G3686 whosoever^G3956 believeth^G4100^(G5723) in^G1519 him^G846 shall receive^G2983^(G5629) remission^G859 of sins^G266.

KJVWhile Peter^G4074 yet^G2089 spake^G2980^(G5723) these^G5023 words^G4487, the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 fell^G1968^(G5627) on^G1909 all^G3956 them which heard^G191^(G5723) the word^G3056.

⁴⁵ They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.

KJVAnd^G2532 they of^G1537 the circumcision^G4061 which believed^G4103 were astonished^G1839^(G5627), as many as^G3745 came with^G4905^(G5627) Peter^G4074, because^G3754 that on^G1909 the Gentiles^G1484 also^G2532 was poured out^G1632^(G5769) the gift^G1431 of the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151.

⁴⁶ For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

⁴⁷ “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”

KJVCan^G3385^G1410^(G5736) any man^G5100 forbid^G2967^(G5658) water^G5204, that these^G5128 should^G907 not^G3361 be baptized^G907^(G5683), which^G3748 have received^G2983^(G5627) the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 as^G2532 well as^G2531 we^G2249?

⁴⁸ He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.

KJVAnd^G5037 he commanded^G4367^(G5656) them^G846 to be baptized^G907^(G5683) in^G1722 the name^G3686 of the Lord^G2962. Then^G5119 prayed they^G2065^(G5656) him^G846 to tarry^G1961^(G5658) certain^G5100 days^G2250.
