Acts 11
11
1And the apostles and brethren that were in Y’hudah [praised] heard that the Goyim [Gentiles] had also received the word of God-The Father.
2And when Kefa [pebble] was come up to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
3Saying, youi went in to men uncircumcised, and did eat with them.
4But Kefa [pebble] rehearsed [the matter] from the beginning, and expounded [it] by order unto them, saying,
5I was in the city of Yafo [beautiful] praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
6Upon the which when I had fastened my eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
7And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Kefa [pebble]; slay and eat.
8But I said, Not so, Lord - Kurios: for nothing common or unclean has at any time entered into my mouth.
9But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God-The Father has cleansed, [that] call not youi common.
10And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea [severed] unto me.
12And the Spirit [Ruach] bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house:
13And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Yafo [beautiful], and call for Shim’on [he has heard], whose surname is Kefa [pebble];
14Who shall tell youi words, whereby youi and all youri house shall be saved.
15And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh] fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16Then remembered I the word of the Lord - Kurios, how that he said, Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] indeed baptized with water; but you2f shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh].
17Forasmuch then as God-The Father gave them the like gift as [he did] unto us, who believed on the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah]; what was I, that I could withstand God-The Father?
18When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God-The Father, saying, Then has God-The Father also to the Goyim [Gentiles] granted repentance unto life.
19Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen [crowned] travelled as far as Phoenicia [land of palm trees], and Cyprus [love: a blossom], and Antioch [speedy as a chariot], preaching the word to none but unto the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah] only.
20And some of them were men of Cyprus [love: a blossom] and Cyrene [supremacy of the bridle], which, when they were come to Antioch [speedy as a chariot], spoke unto the Grecians [Greek [unstable: the miry one]-speaking Jewish people], preaching the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation].
21And the hand of the Lord - Kurios was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord - Kurios.
22Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]: and they sent forth Bar-Nabba [son of rest], that he should go as far as Antioch [speedy as a chariot].
23Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God-The Father, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cling to (hold onto; stick to) the Lord - Kurios.
24For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh] and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord - Kurios.
25Then departed Bar-Nabba [son of rest] to Tarsus [a flat basket], for to seek Sha’ul [desired]:
26And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch [speedy as a chariot]. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch [speedy as a chariot].
27And in these days came prophets from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] unto Antioch [speedy as a chariot].
28And there stood up one of them named Agav [locust], and signified by the Spirit [Ruach] that there should be great famine throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius [lame] Caesar [venerable].
29Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Y’hudah [praised]:
30Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Bar-Nabba [son of rest] and Sha’ul [desired].
