Acts 11
1 Now the emissaries and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

2 When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
tataH pitarE yirUzAlamnagaraM gatavati tvakchEdinO lOkAstEna saha vivadamAnA avadan,
3 saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
tvam atvakchEdilOkAnAM gRhaM gatvA taiH sArddhaM bhuktavAn|
4 But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
tataH pitara AditaH kramazastatkAryyasya sarvvavRttAntamAkhyAtum ArabdhavAn|
5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
yAphOnagara EkadAhaM prArthayamAnO mUrcchitaH san darzanEna caturSu kONESu lambanamAnaM vRhadvastramiva pAtramEkam AkAzadavaruhya mannikaTam Agacchad apazyam|
6 When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.
pazcAt tad ananyadRSTyA dRSTvA vivicya tasya madhyE nAnAprakArAn grAmyavanyapazUn urOgAmikhEcarAMzca dRSTavAn;
7 I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’
hE pitara tvamutthAya gatvA bhuMkSva mAM sambOdhya kathayantaM zabdamEkaM zrutavAMzca|
8 But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’
tatOhaM pratyavadaM, hE prabhO nEtthaM bhavatu, yataH kinjcana niSiddham azuci dravyaM vA mama mukhamadhyaM kadApi na prAvizat|
9 But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’
aparam IzvarO yat zuci kRtavAn tanniSiddhaM na jAnIhi dvi rmAmpratIdRzI vihAyasIyA vANI jAtA|
10 This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

11 Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
pazcAt kaisariyAnagarAt trayO janA mannikaTaM prESitA yatra nivEzanE sthitOhaM tasmin samayE tatrOpAtiSThan|
12 The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.

13 He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,

14 who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’
tatastava tvadIyaparivArANAnjca yEna paritrANaM bhaviSyati tat sa upadEkSyati|
15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
ahaM tAM kathAmutthApya kathitavAn tEna prathamam asmAkam upari yathA pavitra AtmAvarUPhavAn tathA tESAmapyupari samavarUPhavAn|
16 I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘Yochanan indeed immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit.’
tEna yOhan jalE majjitavAn iti satyaM kintu yUyaM pavitra Atmani majjitA bhaviSyatha, iti yadvAkyaM prabhuruditavAn tat tadA mayA smRtam|
17 If then God gave to them the same gift as us when we believed in the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who was I, that I could withstand God?”
ataH prabhA yIzukhrISTE pratyayakAriNO yE vayam asmabhyam IzvarO yad dattavAn tat tEbhyO lOkEbhyOpi dattavAn tataH kOhaM? kimaham IzvaraM vArayituM zaknOmi?
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”

19 They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.

20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, proclaiming the Lord Yeshua.

21 The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
prabhOH karastESAM sahAya AsIt tasmAd anEkE lOkA vizvasya prabhuM prati parAvarttanta|
22 The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,
iti vArttAyAM yirUzAlamasthamaNPalIyalOkAnAM karNagOcarIbhUtAyAm AntiyakhiyAnagaraM gantu tE barNabbAM prairayan|
23 who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.
tatO barNabbAstatra upasthitaH san IzvarasyAnugrahasya phalaM dRSTvA sAnandO jAtaH,
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.

25 Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.

26 When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Messianic in Antioch.

27 Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

28 One of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.

29 As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;

30 which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
