WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.300 Chapter 11 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea heard that the Gentiles 00:06.300 --> 00:08.060 had also received the word of God. 00:08.540 --> 00:12.300 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision 00:12.300 --> 00:17.520 contended with him, saying, Thou wentest into men uncircumcised, and didst eat with 00:17.520 --> 00:17.820 them. 00:18.160 --> 00:22.280 But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto 00:22.280 --> 00:28.640 them, saying, I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, 00:29.460 --> 00:36.880 a certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet let down from heaven by four 00:36.880 --> 00:37.380 corners. 00:37.960 --> 00:43.880 And it came even to me, upon the which, when I had fastened mine eyes, 00:44.020 --> 00:49.820 I considered, and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, 00:49.820 --> 00:53.940 and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 00:54.620 --> 01:00.500 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter, slay, and eat. 01:01.580 --> 01:06.560 But I said, Not so, Lord, for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered 01:06.560 --> 01:07.360 into my mouth. 01:08.240 --> 01:12.060 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, 01:12.340 --> 01:14.100 that call not thou common. 01:14.700 --> 01:18.840 And this was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven. 01:19.860 --> 01:24.480 And behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I 01:24.480 --> 01:26.860 was, sent from Caesarea unto me. 01:27.480 --> 01:30.880 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. 01:32.060 --> 01:36.280 Moreover, these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house. 01:36.280 --> 01:42.180 And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto 01:42.180 --> 01:47.300 him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter, 01:48.080 --> 01:52.660 who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved. 01:53.640 --> 01:59.120 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. 02:00.160 --> 02:05.700 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized 02:05.700 --> 02:09.600 with water, but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. 02:10.940 --> 02:15.780 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on 02:15.780 --> 02:21.020 the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I, that I could withstand God? 02:21.420 --> 02:25.540 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, 02:25.660 --> 02:30.460 saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life. 02:30.760 --> 02:34.500 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen, 02:35.020 --> 02:39.580 travelled as far as Pharnasi, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none, 02:39.940 --> 02:41.280 but unto the Jews only. 02:41.880 --> 02:45.820 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to 02:45.820 --> 02:49.140 Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus. 02:49.620 --> 02:55.060 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed, and turned 02:55.060 --> 02:55.740 unto the Lord. 02:56.820 --> 03:00.540 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem, 03:01.080 --> 03:04.700 and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch. 03:05.240 --> 03:10.520 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, 03:10.820 --> 03:14.140 that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord. 03:14.140 --> 03:18.220 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost, and of faith. 03:18.760 --> 03:21.080 And much people was added unto the Lord. 03:22.200 --> 03:24.980 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul. 03:25.360 --> 03:28.420 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. 03:28.900 --> 03:33.080 And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, 03:33.340 --> 03:34.540 and taught much people. 03:35.060 --> 03:38.380 And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. 03:39.180 --> 03:42.400 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch. 03:42.400 --> 03:47.660 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that 03:47.660 --> 03:52.060 there should be great dearth throughout all the world, which came to pass in the 03:52.060 --> 03:53.200 days of Claudius Caesar. 03:53.880 --> 03:58.160 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief 03:58.160 --> 04:03.060 unto the brethren which dwelt in Judea, which also they did, and sent it to the 04:03.060 --> 04:05.400 elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
