and with power, who went about doing good and healing all
who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
010:039 We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews,
and in Jerusalem; whom they also{TR omits "also"} killed,
hanging him on a tree.
010:040 God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed,
010:041 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen
before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose
from the dead.
010:042 He charged us to preach to the people and to testify that this
is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living
and the dead.
010:043 All the prophets testify about him, that through his name
everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins."
010:044 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit
fell on all those who heard the word.
010:045 They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many
as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was
also poured out on the nations.
010:046 For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God.
Then Peter answered,
010:047 "Can any man forbid the water, that these who have received
the Holy Spirit as well as we should not be baptized?"
010:048 He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
Then they asked him to stay some days.
011:001 Now the apostles and the brothers{The word for "brothers"
here and where context allows may also be correctly translated
"brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} who were in Judea
heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
011:002 When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the
circumcision contended with him,
011:003 saying, "You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them!"
011:004 But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
011:005 "I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I
saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it
was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners.
It came as far as me.
011:006 When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the
four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things,
and birds of the sky.
011:007 I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter, kill and eat!'
011:008 But I said, 'Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has
ever entered into my mouth.'
011:009 But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven,
'What God has cleansed, don't you call unclean.'
011:010 This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
011:011 Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was,
having been sent from Caesarea to me.
011:012 The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating.
