3 saying, “You went to men having uncircumcision, and ate with them.”
4 Now Peter having begun, set forth to them in order, saying,
5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel like a great sheet descending, being let down out of heaven by four corners, and it came down as far as me.
6 Having looked intently on it, I was observing it, and I saw the quadrupeds of the earth and the wild beasts and the creeping things and the birds of the air.
7 And also I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Having risen up, Peter, kill and eat.’
8 But I said, ‘In no way, Lord. For nothing ever common or unclean has entered into my mouth.’
9 But for a second time the voice answered out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you do not call unholy.’
10 Now this happened on three times, and all was drawn up into heaven again.
11 And behold, immediately three men having been sent to me from Caesarea stood at the house in which I was.
12 Now the Spirit told me to go with them, not having discriminated. Now these six brothers also went with me, and we entered into the man’s house,
13 and he related to us how he had seen the angel having stood in his house and having said, ‘Send forth to Joppa, and send for Simon who is called Peter,
14 who will speak words to you in which will be saved, you and all your household.’
15 And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, even as also upon us in the beginning.
16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
17 If then God has given to them the same gift as also to us having believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, how was I able to forbid God?”
18 And having heard these things, they were silent and glorified God, saying, “Then indeed God has given also to the Gentiles repentance unto life.”
