\subsection{Acts 11}
\VS{1} So the apostles and the brothers being throughout Judea hear that the 
nations also received the word of God. 
\VS{2} So when Peter went up to 
Jerusalem, those of the circumcision disputed with him, 
\VS{3} saying that: 
You went in with men having uncircumcision and you ate with them. 
\VS{4} So having begun Peter was explaining to them point by point saying: 
\VS{5} I was in the city [of] Joppa praying, and I saw in [a] trance [a] vision, a certain 
[thing] coming down like [a] great linen sheet with [the] four corners being let down from heaven, and it came until me, 
\VS{6} to which, having looked intently, I was 
considering [it], and I saw the four-footed [things] of the earth and the wild beasts and the reptiles and the birds of heaven. 
\VS{7} Now I also heard [a] voice 
saying to me: Having arisen, Peter, kill and eat. 
\VS{8} So I said: By no means, Lord, for [the] common\footnote{or ``impure''} 
or unclean has never entered into my mouth. 
\VS{9} But [a] voice from heaven answered [a] second 
[time]: What God has cleansed do not be considering common\footnote{or 
``impure''}. 
\VS{10} Now this came to pass [a] third [time], and everything was again 
drawn up into heaven. 
\VS{11} And behold immediately three men stood outside 
the house in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me. 
\VS{12} Now 
the spirit told me to go with them not having hesitated. So they and these 
six brothers went with me, and we went into the house of [this] man. 
\VS{13} So he 
reported to us how he saw the angel in his house having stood and having 
said: Send to Joppa and summon Simon the [one] called Peter, 
\VS{14} who will 
speak words to you by which you and all your house will be saved. 
\VS{15} Now when I began to be speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon them as also upon 
us in the beginning. 
\VS{16} Now I was minded of the words of the Lord, as 
he was saying: John on the one hand baptized in\footnote{or ``with''} water, 
but you will be baptized in\footnote{or ``with''} Holy Spirit. 
\VS{17} If 
therefore God gave to them the equal gift as also to us, to [those] having believed 
upon the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I able to hinder God? 
\VS{18} So having 
heard these [things] they were quiet, and glorified God saying: Therefore has God 
given the repentance to zoe-life\fnZoe{} to the nations\footnote{i.e. the Gentiles} 
also.

\VS{19} Indeed therefore those having been scattered from the distress 
having come to pass upon Stephen were going through to Phoenicia and Cypris 
and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews. 
\VS{20} Now there were 
some Cyprian and Cyrenian men from among them, who having come to Antioch 
were speaking to the Greeks also, good-newsing the Lord Jesus. 
\VS{21} And 
[the] hand of [the] Lord was with them, and [a] great number having believed turned to 
the Lord. 
\VS{22} Now the word was heard to the ears of the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} being in 
Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent out Barnabbas until Antioch, 
\VS{23} who having arrived and having seen the grace of the Lord, he 
rejoiced, and he was entreating all in the purpose of [their] heart to remain with 
the Lord, 
\VS{24} because he was [a] good man and full of the Holy Spirit and 
faith. And [a] large crowd was added to the Lord. 
\VS{25} Now he went out to Tarsus to seek Saul, 
\VS{26} and having found [him] he brought [him] to Antioch. Now 
it came to pass to them indeed they were [a] whole year gathered in the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} 
and they taught [a] great crowd, and in Antioch the disciples were first named 
Christians. 

\VS{27} Now in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem. 
\VS{28} And one 
of them, by name Agabos, having stood, he foretold through the spirit [that a] great 
famine was [about] to be upon the whole inhabited world, which came to pass under 
Claudius. 
\VS{29} Now from the disciples, just as anyone was having plenty, each of them 
determined to send for service to the brothers dwelling in Judea, 
\VS{30} which they also did, having sent [it] to the elders through [the] hand of Barnabbas and Saul.
