rkjnt Acts:11-12
rkjnt@Acts:11:1 @ Now the apostles and brethren who were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
rkjnt@Acts:11:2 @ And when Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision party criticized him,
rkjnt@Acts:11:3 @ Saying, You went into the house of uncircumcised men, and ate with them.
rkjnt@Acts:11:4 @ But Peter related the matter from the beginning, and explained it to them in order, saying,
rkjnt@Acts:11:5 @ I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain object descended, like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came down to me:
rkjnt@Acts:11:6 @ When I had fastened my eyes upon it and considered it, I saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and birds of the air.
rkjnt@Acts:11:7 @ And I heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
rkjnt@Acts:11:8 @ But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean has at any time entered into my mouth.
rkjnt@Acts:11:9 @ But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God has cleansed, do not call unholy.
rkjnt@Acts:11:10 @ And this happened three times: and then all was drawn up again into heaven.
rkjnt@Acts:11:11 @ And, behold, immediately three men arrived at the house where I was, sent from Caesarea to me.
rkjnt@Acts:11:12 @ And the Spirit told me to go with them, without doubting. And these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered the man's house:
rkjnt@Acts:11:13 @ And he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, who stood and said to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is called Peter;
rkjnt@Acts:11:14 @ Who shall give you a message, by which you and all your household shall be saved.
rkjnt@Acts:11:15 @ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us in the beginning.
rkjnt@Acts:11:16 @ Then I remembered the word of the Lord, that he said, John baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.
rkjnt@Acts:11:17 @ Therefore, if God gave them the same gift he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ; who was I, that I could withstand God?
rkjnt@Acts:11:18 @ When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then God has also granted to the Gentiles the repentance that leads to life.
rkjnt@Acts:11:19 @ Now those who were scattered abroad by the persecution that arose over Stephen travelled as far as Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but the Jews.
rkjnt@Acts:11:20 @ But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus.
rkjnt@Acts:11:21 @ And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.
rkjnt@Acts:11:22 @ Then news of these things came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas to Antioch.
rkjnt@Acts:11:23 @ When he came, and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and exhorted them all, that with resolute hearts they would cling to the Lord;
rkjnt@Acts:11:24 @ For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and many people were added to the Lord.
rkjnt@Acts:11:25 @ Then Barnabas departed to Tarsus, to look for Saul:
rkjnt@Acts:11:26 @ And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that for a whole year they met with the church, and taught many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
rkjnt@Acts:11:27 @ And in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
rkjnt@Acts:11:28 @ And one of them named Agabus stood up, and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine throughout all the world: and this came to pass in the days of Claudius.
rkjnt@Acts:11:29 @ Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren who lived in Judaea:
rkjnt@Acts:11:30 @ Which they did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
rkjnt@Acts:12:1 @ Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to mistreat some who belonged to the church.
rkjnt@Acts:12:2 @ And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
rkjnt@Acts:12:3 @ And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. (This was during the days of unleavened bread.)
rkjnt@Acts:12:4 @ And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers to keep him; intending after passover to bring him forth to the people.
rkjnt@Acts:12:5 @ Therefore Peter was kept in prison: but prayer to God was made for him without ceasing by the church.
rkjnt@Acts:12:6 @ And the night before Herod would have brought him forth, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door were guarding the prison.
rkjnt@Acts:12:7 @ And, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the prison: and he struck Peter on the side, and woke him, saying, Arise quickly. And the chains fell off his hands.
rkjnt@Acts:12:8 @ And the angel said to him, Gird yourself, and put on your sandals. And he did so. And he said to him, Wrap your garment about you, and follow me.
rkjnt@Acts:12:9 @ And he went out, and followed him; but he did not know that what was being done by the angel was real; but thought he was seeing a vision.
rkjnt@Acts:12:10 @ When they were past the first and second guards, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city; which opened for them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
rkjnt@Acts:12:11 @ And when Peter had come to himself, he said, Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent his angel, and has delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.
rkjnt@Acts:12:12 @ When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John, who was also called Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
rkjnt@Acts:12:13 @ And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a maid named Rhoda came to answer.
rkjnt@Acts:12:14 @ And when she recognized Peter's voice, in her joy she did not open the gate, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate.
rkjnt@Acts:12:15 @ And they said to her, You are mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was so. Then they said, It is his angel.
rkjnt@Acts:12:16 @ But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
rkjnt@Acts:12:17 @ But he, beckoning to them with his hand to hold their peace, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Tell these things to James, and to the brethren. Then he departed, and went to another place.
rkjnt@Acts:12:18 @ Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers over what had become of Peter.
rkjnt@Acts:12:19 @ And when Herod sought for him, and did not find him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. Then he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and remained there.
rkjnt@Acts:12:20 @ And Herod was highly displeased with the people of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain, their friend, they asked for peace; because their country was fed by the king's country.
rkjnt@Acts:12:21 @ And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal robes, sat upon his throne, and made an oration to them.
rkjnt@Acts:12:22 @ And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
rkjnt@Acts:12:23 @ Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory: and he was eaten by worms, and died.
rkjnt@Acts:12:24 @ But the word of God grew and spread.
rkjnt@Acts:12:25 @ And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their ministry, bringing with them John, who was also called Mark.
rkjnt@Acts:13:1 @ Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
