Acts 11:1-18

Tyndale(i) 1 And the Apostles and the brethren that were thorowout Iewry harde saye that the hethen had also receaved the worde of God. 2 And when Peter was come vp to Ierusalem they of the circumcision reasoned wyth him 3 sayinge: Thou wentest in to men vncircumcised and atest with them. 4 Then Peter began and expounded ye thinge in order to the sayinge: 5 I was in the cyte of Ioppa prayinge and in a traunce I sawe a vision a certen vessell descende as it had bene a large lynnyn clothe let doune from hevin by the fower corners and it cam to me. 6 Into the which when I had fastened myn eyes I consydered and sawe fowerfoted beastes of ye erth and vermen and wormes and foules of the ayer. 7 And I herde a voyce sayinge vnto me: aryse Peter sley and eate. 8 And I sayd: God forbyd lorde for nothinge comen or vnclene hath at eny tyme entred into my mouth. 9 But the voyce answered me agayne from heven cout not thou those thinges come which god hath clensed. 10 And this was done thre tymes. And all were takin vp agayne into heven. 11 And beholde immediatly ther were thre men come vnto the housse where I was sent from Cesarea vnto me. 12 And the sprete sayde vnto me that I shuld go with them with out doutinge. Morover the sixe brethren accompanyed me: and we entred into the mas housse. 13 And he shewed vs how he had sene an angell in his housse which stod and sayde to him: Send men to Ioppa and call for Symon named also Peter: 14 he shall tell the wordes wherby both thou and all thyne housse shalbe saved. 15 And as I begane to preach ye holy goost fell on them as he dyd on vs at the begynninge. 16 Then came to my remembrauce ye wordes of the Lorde how he sayde: Iohn baptised with water but ye shalbe baptysed with the holy goost. 17 For as moche then as God gave the lyke gyftes as he dyd vnto vs when we beleved on the Lorde Iesus Christ: what was I that I shuld have with stonde God? 18 when they hearde this they helde their peace and gloryfied God sayinge: then hath God also to the gentyls graunted repentaunce vnto lyfe.
