Acts:11:2-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And when Peter was come up (
5627 )
to Jerusalem ,
they that were of the circumcision contended (
5710 )
with him ,
*
Saying (
5723 ),
Thou wentest in (
5627 )
to men uncircumcised (
5723 ),
and didst eat (
5627 )
with them .
*
But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning (
5671 ),
and expounded (
5710 )
it by order unto them ,
saying (
5723 ),
*
I was (
5713 )
in the city of Joppa praying (
5740 ):
and in a trance I saw (
5627 )
a vision ,
A certain vessel descend (
5723 ),
as it had been a great sheet ,
let down (
5746 )
from heaven by four corners ;
and it came (
5627 )
even to me :
*
Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes (
5660 ),
I considered (
5707 ),
and saw (
5627 )
fourfooted beasts of the earth ,
and wild beasts ,
and creeping things ,
and fowls of the air .
*
And I heard (
5656 )
a voice saying (
5723 )
unto me ,
Arise (
5631 ),
Peter ;
slay (
5657 )
and eat (
5628 ).
*
But I said (
5627 ),
Not so ,
Lord :
for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered (
5627 )
into my mouth .
*
But the voice answered (
5662 )
me again from heaven ,
What God hath cleansed (
5656 ),
that call not thou common (
5720 ).
*
And this was done (
5633 )
three times :
and all were drawn up (
5681 )
again into heaven .
*
And ,
behold (
5628 ),
immediately there were three men already come (
5627 )
unto the house where I was (
5713 ),
sent (
5772 )
from Caesarea unto me .
*
And the Spirit bade (
5627 )
me go with (
5629 )
them ,
nothing doubting (
5734 ).
Moreover these six brethren accompanied (
5627 )
me ,
and we entered (
5627 )
into the mans house :
*
And he shewed (
5656 )
us how he had seen (
5627 )
an angel in his house ,
which stood (
5685 )
and said (
5631 )
unto him ,
Send (
5657 )
men to Joppa ,
and call for (
5663 )
Simon ,
whose surname is (
5746 )
Peter ;
*
Who shall tell (
5692 )
thee words ,
whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved (
5701 ).
*
And as I began (
5670 )
to speak (
5721 ),
the Holy Ghost fell (
5627 )
on them ,
as on us at the beginning .
*
Then remembered I (
5681 )
the word of the Lord ,
how that he said (
5707 ),
John indeed baptized (
5656 )
with water ;
but ye shall be baptized (
5701 )
with the Holy Ghost .
*
Forasmuch then as God gave (
5656 )
them the like gift as he did unto us ,
who believed (
5660 )
on the Lord Jesus Christ ;
what was (
5713 )
I ,
that I could withstand (
5658 )
God ?
*
When they heard (
5660 )
these things ,
they held their peace (
5656 ),
and glorified (
5707 )
God ,
saying (
5723 ),
Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted (
5656 )
repentance unto life .
