Gevurot Meyruach Hakodesh 11
11
1And the Moshiachʼs Shlichim and the Achim b'Moshiach, the ones throughout Yehudah, heard that also the non-Jews received the dvar Hashem.
2But when Kefa went up to Yerushalayim, those of the faction of the Bris Milah were taking issue with him,
3Saying, You entered into a bais of anashim arelim (uncircumcised men) and you sat at tish with them.
4But Kefa began explaining to them beseder (in order), saying,
5I was davening in the shtetl of Yafo and in a trance I saw a chazon (vision) of a certain object descending like a large linen cloth lowered by four corners from Shomayim, and it came up to me.
6And when I had gazed upon it, I saw fourfooted animals of ha'aretz and chayyat hasadeh and remasim haAdamah and oph HaShomayim.
7And I heard also a bat kol saying to me, Get up, Kefa. Kill and eat.
8But I said, By no means, Adoni, because nothing common or tameh (unclean) has ever entered into my stomach.
9And the bat kol answered for a second time from Shomayim, What Hashem made tahor (clean) do not declare tameh (unclean).
10This happened shlosh pe'amim, and everything was pulled up again into Shomayim.
11Hinei, at once shloshah anashim stood at the bais in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
12And the Ruach Hakodesh said to me to accompany them without hesitating and these sheshet haAchim b'Moshiach came with me also, and we entered into the bais of the ish.
13He reported to us how he saw the malach in his bais having stood and having said, Send to Yafo and summon Shim'on, the one being called Kefa,
14Who will speak words to you by which you and all your bais will find Yeshu'at Eloheinu.
15As I began to speak, the Ruach Hakodesh fell upon them, just as also upon us in the beginning.
16And I remembered the dvar of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu, how he used to say, Yochanan gave a tevilah of teshuva with a mikveh mayim, but you will be given a tevilah with the Ruach Hakodesh.
17If then Hashem gave the same matanah to them as also to us after believing in Moshiach Adoneinu, who then was I to stand in the way of Hashem?
18And having heard these things, they were silenced and glorified Hashem, saying Then also to the Nations Hashem has given teshuva unto Chayyim.
19Then the ones, that is, those having been scattered because of the tzoros that happened in connection with Stefanos, came to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, darshenen to no one the dvar Hashem except only to Yehudim.
20And there were some of them, anashim of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having come to Antioch, were speaking also to the Yevanim, darshenen the Besuras HaGeulah of Adoneinu Yehoshua.
21The hand of Adonoi was on them and a large number, having had emunah, turned to Moshiach Adoneinu.
22The report about them was heard in the ears of the Kehillah of Moshiach in Yerushalayim, and they sent out Bar-Nabba to go to Antioch;
23Who, having come, and having seen the Chen v'Chesed Hashem, rejoiced and was encouraging everyone with deveykus (devotion) to HaAdon to remain true to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu.
24For Bar-Nabba was a mentsh, a gavra, an ish tov full of the Ruach Hakodesh and of emunah. And a great multitude was added to Adoneinu.
25And Bar-Nabba left for Tarsus to look for Sha'ul,
26And, having found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came about that for an entire year, they met with Moshiachʼs Kehillah there, and taught a large multitude. And it was in Antioch that the talmidim were first called Ma'aminim HaMeshichiyim (Messianic Believers).
27Now in these yamim, nevi'im came down from Yerushalayim to Antioch.
28One of them, by name of Agav, having got up, indicated through the Ruach Hakodesh a great famine was about to come all over the world. And this famine actually occurred during the time of Claudius.
29Now the talmidim decided that according to their means, each of them would send support to the Achim b'Moshiach dwelling in Yehudah;
30Which also they did, having sent to the Ziknei HaKehillot by the hand of Bar-Nabba and Sha'ul.

Peter’s Report to the Church in Jerusalem
1The apostles and the brothers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those who were circumcised disputed with him, # Ac 10:45 3saying, “You went in and ate with uncircumcised men!” # Lk 15:2; Ac 10:28
4Peter began explaining it to them in order, # Lk 1:3 saying, 5“I was in the city of Joppa praying. And in a trance I saw a vision: # Ac 10:9–32 A vessel like a great sheet was descending, let down from heaven by four corners, and it came to me. 6I considered what I had observed and saw four-footed creatures and wild beasts and reptiles and birds of the air. 7Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’
8“I said, ‘Not at all, Lord. For nothing common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth.’ # Ro 14:14
9“The voice answered from heaven a second time, ‘What God has cleansed, do not call common.’ 10This happened three times. And again everything was taken up into heaven.
11“And behold, at that very moment three men sent from Caesarea to me came to the house where I was. 12The Spirit told me # Ac 8:29 to go with them without hesitation. Moreover these six brothers came with me, and we entered the man’s house. # Ac 10:23 13He told us how he had seen an angel in his house, who stood and said to him, ‘Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose name is Peter. 14He will speak words to you by which you and all your household will be saved.’ # Ac 10:22; 16:15
15“As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as He fell on us at the beginning. 16Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ # Mt 3:11; Ac 1:5 # 11:16 Ac 1:5. 17If then God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to be able to hinder God?” # Ac 10:47
18When they heard these things, they were silent. And they glorified God, saying, “Then God has granted to the Gentiles also repentance unto life.” # Ro 10:12–13; 2Co 7:10
The Church in Antioch
19Now those who were scattered by the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus # Ac 4:36; 15:3 and Antioch, preaching the word to no one except Jews. 20Some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, # Mt 27:32; Ac 13:1 who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord. # Lk 1:66; Ac 2:47
22News of these things came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. 23When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and exhorted them all to remain with the Lord with a loyal heart. # Ac 13:43; 14:22 24For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. # Ac 6:5 And many people were added to the Lord. # Ac 2:47; 5:14; 11:21
25Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul. # Ac 9:11, 30 26When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a considerable crowd. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. # Ac 26:28; 1Pe 4:16
27In these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. # Ac 2:17; 13:1; 1Co 12:28 28One of them, named Agabus, # Ac 21:10 stood up and prophesied by the Spirit that there would be a great famine throughout all the world, which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar. # Ac 18:2 29Then every disciple, according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea. 30Indeed they did, and sent it to the elders # Ac 14:23 by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. # Ac 12:25
