Acts 11
1 Nowe the Apostles and the brethren that were in Iudea, heard, that the Gentiles had also receiued the worde of God.
Audierunt autem Apostoli, et fratres, qui erant in Iudæa: quoniam et Gentes receperunt verbum Dei.
2 And when Peter was come vp to Hierusalem, they of the circumcision contended against him,
Cum autem ascendisset Petrus Ierosolymam, disceptabant adversus illum, qui erant ex circumcisione,
3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men vncircumcised, and hast eaten with them.
dicentes: Quare introisti ad viros præputium habentes, et manducasti cum illis?
4 Then Peter beganne, and expounded the thing in order to them, saying,
Incipiens autem Petrus exponebat illis ordinem, dicens:
5 I was in the citie of Ioppa, praying, and in a trance I sawe this vision, A certaine vessell comming downe as it had bene a great sheete, let downe from heauen by the foure corners, and it came to me.
Ego eram in civitate Ioppe orans, et vidi in excessu mentis visionem, descendens vas quoddam velut linteum magnum quattuor initiis summitti de cælo, et venit usque ad me.
6 Towarde the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and sawe foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes, and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.
In quod intuens considerabam, et vidi quadrupedia terræ, et bestias, et reptilia, et volatilia cæli.
7 Also I heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Arise, Peter: slay and eate.
Audivi autem et vocem dicentem mihi: Surge Petre, occide, et manduca.
8 And I said, God forbid, Lord: for nothing polluted or vncleane hath at any time entred into my mouth.
Dixi autem: Nequaquam Domine: quia commune aut immundum numquam introivit in os meum.
9 But the voyce answered me the seconde time from heauen, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.
Respondit autem vox secundo de cælo: Quæ Deus mundavit, tu ne commune dixeris.
10 And this was done three times, and all were taken vp againe into heauen.
Hoc autem factum est per ter: et recepta sunt omnia rursum in cælum.
11 Then behold, immediatly there were three men already come vnto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea vnto me.
Et ecce viri tres confestim astiterunt in domo, in qua eram, missi a Cæsarea ad me.
12 And the Spirit saide vnto me, that I should go with them, without doubting: moreouer these sixe brethren came with me, and we entred into the mans house.
Dixit autem Spiritus mihi ut irem cum illis, nihil hæsitans. Venerunt autem mecum et sex fratres isti, et ingressi sumus in domum viri.
13 And he shewed vs, howe he had seene an Angel in his house, which stoode and said to him, Send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.
Narravit autem nobis, quomodo vidisset Angelum in domo sua, stantem et dicentem sibi: Mitte in Ioppen, et accersi Simonem, qui cognominatur Petrus,
14 He shall speake wordes vnto thee, whereby both thou and all thine house shalbe saued.
qui loquetur tibi verba, in quibus salvus eris tu, et universa domus tua.
15 And as I began to speake, the holy Ghost fell on them, euen as vpon vs at the beginning.
Cum autem cœpissem loqui, cecidit Spiritus Sanctus super eos, sicut et in nos in initio.
16 Then I remembred the word of the Lord, howe he said, Iohn baptized with water, but ye shalbe baptized with the holy Ghost.
Recordatus sum autem verbi Domini, sicut dicebat: Ioannes quidem baptizavit aqua, vos autem baptizabimini Spiritu Sancto.
17 For as much then as God gaue them a like gift, as he did vnto vs, when we beleeued in the Lord Iesus Christ, who was I, that I coulde let God?
Si ergo eamdem gratiam dedit illis Deus, sicut et nobis, qui credidimus in Dominum Iesum Christum: ego quis eram, qui possem prohibere Deum?
18 When they heard these things, they helde their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles graunted repentance vnto life.
His auditis, tacuerunt: et glorificaverunt Deum, dicentes: Ergo et Gentibus pœnitentiam dedit Deus ad vitam.
19 And they which were scattered abroade because of the affliction that arose about Steuen, went throughout till they came vnto Phenice and Cyprus, and Antiochia, preaching the worde to no man, but vnto the Iewes onely.
Et illi quidem, qui dispersi fuerant a tribulatione, quæ facta fuerat sub Stephano, perambulaverunt usque Phœnicen, et Cyprum, et Antiochiam, nemini loquentes verbum, nisi solis Iudæis.
20 Now some of them were men of Cyprus and of Cyrene, which when they were come into Antiochia, spake vnto the Grecians, and preached the Lord Iesus.
Erant autem quidam ex eis viri Cyprii, et Cyrenæi, qui cum introissent Antiochiam, loquebantur et ad Græcos, annunciantes Dominum Iesum.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, so that a great number beleeued and turned vnto the Lord.
Et erat manus Domini cum eis: multusque numerus credentium conversus est ad Dominum.
22 Then tydings of those things came vnto the eares of the Church, which was in Hierusalem, and they sent foorth Barnabas, that he should goe vnto Antiochia.
Pervenit autem sermo ad aures Ecclesiæ, quæ erat Ierosolymis super istis: et miserunt Barnabam usque ad Antiochiam.
23 Who when he was come and had seene the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted all, that with purpose of heart they would continue in the Lord.
Qui cum pervenisset, et vidisset gratiam Dei, gavisus est: et hortabatur omnes in proposito cordis permanere in Domino:
24 For he was a good man, and full of the holy Ghost, and faith, and much people ioyned them selues vnto the Lord.
quia erat vir bonus, et plenus Spiritu Sancto, et fide. Et apposita est multa turba Domino.
25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus to seeke Saul:
Profectus est autem Barnabas Tarsum, ut quæreret Saulum: quem cum invenisset, perduxit Antiochiam.
26 And when he had founde him, he brought him vnto Antiochia: and it came to passe that a whole yere they were conuersant with ye Church, and taught much people, in so much that the disciples were first called Christians in Antiochia.
Et annum totum conversati sunt ibi in Ecclesia: et docuerunt turbam multam, ita ut cognominarentur primum Antiochiæ discipuli, Christiani.
27 In those dayes also came Prophets from Hierusalem vnto Antiochia.
In his autem diebus supervenerunt ab Ierosolymis prophetæ Antiochiam:
28 And there stoode vp one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit, that there should be great famine throughout all the world, which also came to passe vnder Claudius Cesar.
et surgens unus ex eis nomine Agabus, significabat per Spiritum famem magnam futuram in universo orbe terrarum, quæ facta est sub Claudio.
29 Then the disciples, euery man according to his ability, purposed to sende succour vnto the brethren which dwelt in Iudea.
Discipuli autem, prout quis habebat, proposuerunt singuli in ministerium mittere habitantibus in Iudæa fratribus:
30 Which thing they also did, and sent it to the Elders, by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
quod et fecerunt, mittentes ad seniores per manus Barnabæ, et Sauli.
