Peter's Report to the Church at Jerusalem
1And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. 2And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him, 3saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them. 4But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying, 5I was in the city of Joppa 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 mine 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, Peter; slay and eat. 8But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth. 9But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou 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 Caesare´a unto me. 12And the Spirit 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 Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter; 14who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved. 15And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. 16#Acts 1.5. Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. 17Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I, that I could withstand God? 18When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
The Church at Antioch

Acts 8.1-4. Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoeni´cia, and Cyprus, and An´ti-och, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only. 20And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyre´ne, which, when they were come to An´ti-och, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord. 22Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as An´ti-och. 23Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord. 24For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord. 25Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: 26and when he had found him, he brought him unto An´ti-och. 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 An´ti-och.
27And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto An´ti-och. 28#Acts 21.10. And there stood up one of them named Ag´abus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar. 29Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judea: 30which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

Ma`asei (Acts) 11
11
1And the emissaries and brothers who were in Yehuḏah heard that the nations also received the word of Elohim.
2And when Kĕpha went up to Yerushalayim, those of the circumcision were contending with him,
3saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
4But Kĕpha began and set it forth in order, saying:
5“I was in the city of Yapho praying. And in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down from the heaven by four corners, and it came to me.
6“Having looked into it, I perceived and I saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping creatures, and the birds of heaven.
7“And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise up, Kĕpha, slay and eat.’
8But I said, ‘Not at all, Master! Because whatever is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’ ”
9“And the voice answered me again from the heaven, ‘What Elohim has cleansed you do not consider common.’
10“And this took place three times, and all were drawn up again into the heaven.
11“And see, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
12“And the Spirit said to me to go with them, not doubting at all. And these six brothers also went with me, and we went into the man’s house.
13“And he told us how he had seen a messenger standing in his house, who said to him, ‘Send men to Yapho, and call for Shim‛on who is also called Kĕpha,
14who shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved, you and all your house.’
15“And as I began to speak, the Set-apart Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning.
16“And I remembered the word of the Master, how He said, ‘Yoḥanan indeed immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in the Set-apart Spirit.’
17“So if Elohim gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Master יהושע Messiah, how was I able to withstand Elohim?”
18And having heard this, they were silent, and praised Elohim, saying, “Then Elohim has indeed also given to the nations repentance to life.”#See Acts 10:35
19Then, indeed, they who were scattered because of the pressure that arose over Stephanos passed through to Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except the Yehuḏim only.
20But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, bringing the Good News: the Master יהושע!
21And the hand of the Master was with them, and a great number having believed turned to the Master.
22And word of it came to the ears of the assembly in Yerushalayim, and they sent out Barnaḇa to go as far as Antioch,
23who, having come, and seeing the favour of Elohim, was glad, and encouraged them all with purpose of heart to cleave to the Master.
24Because he was a good man, and filled with the Set-apart Spirit and with belief. And large numbers were added to the Master.
25Then Barnaḇa went to Tarsos to seek Sha’ul,
26and having found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to be that for an entire year they came together in the assembly and taught large numbers. And the taught ones were called ‘messianists’ first in Antioch.
27And in those days prophets came from Yerushalayim to Antioch.
28And one of them, named Ḥaḡaḇ, stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there was going to be a great scarcity of food over all the world – which also took place under Claudius Caesar.
29So the taught ones, each according to his ability, decided to send relief to the brothers dwelling in Yehuḏah.
30This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnaḇa and Sha’ul.
