Act 11:1Audiērunt autem Apostolī et frātrēs quī erant in Jūdaeā, quoniam et gentēs recēpērunt verbum Deī.And the Apostles and brothers who were in Judea heard that the gentiles too had received the word of God. Act 11:2Cum autem ascendisset Petrus Jerosolymam, disceptābant adversus illum quī erant ex circumcīsiōne, dīcentēs: Quārē introīstī ad virōs praepūtium habentēs, et mandūcāstī cum illīs?And when Peter had gone up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision were arguing against him, saying: "Why did you go in to men having a foreskin, and eat with them?" Act 11:4Incipiēns autem Petrus expōnēbat illīs ōrdinem, dīcēns: Ego eram in cīvitāte Joppē ōrāns, et vīdī in excessū mentis vīsiōnem, dēscendēns vās quoddam velut linteum magnum quatuor initiīs summittī dē caelō, et vēnit ūsque ad mē.But Peter, beginning, was setting out the matter in order for them, saying: "I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a departure of mind a vision, a certain vessel coming down like a great linen sheet, being let down by four corners from heaven, and it came right to me. Act 11:6In quod intuēns cōnsīderābam, et vīdī quadrupedia terrae, et bēstiās, et rēptilia, et volātilia caelī.Gazing into which I was considering it, and I saw four-footed creatures of the earth, and beasts, and creeping things, and flying things of the sky.
Act 11:7Audīvī autem et vōcem dīcentem mihi: Surge, Petre: occīde, et mandūcā.And I heard also a voice saying to me: 'Rise, Peter: kill, and eat.' Act 11:8Dīxī autem: Nēquāquam Domine: quia commūne aut immundum numquam introīvit in ōs meum.But I said: 'By no means, Lord: because anything common or unclean has never gone into my mouth.' Act 11:9Respondit autem vōx secundō dē caelō: Quae Deus mundāvit, tū nē commūne dīxerīs.But the voice answered a second time from heaven: 'What God has cleansed, do not you call common.' Act 11:10Hoc autem factum est per ter: et recepta sunt omnia rūrsum in caelum.And this was done three times: and all things were taken back again into heaven. Act 11:11Et ecce virī trēs cōnfestim astitērunt in domō in quā eram, missī ā Caesarēā ad mē.And look, at once three men stood at the house in which I was, sent from Caesarea to me. Act 11:12Dīxit autem Spīritus mihi ut īrem cum illīs, nihil haesitāns.And the Spirit told me to go with them, hesitating not at all. Act 11:12Vēnērunt autem mēcum et sex frātrēs istī, et ingressī sumus in domum virī.And there came with me also these six brothers, and we went into the house of the man.
Act 11:13Narrāvit autem nōbīs quōmodo vīdisset angelum in domō suā, stantem et dīcentem sibi: Mitte in Joppēn, et accersī Simōnem quī cognōminātur Petrus, quī loquētur tibi verba in quibus salvus eris tū, et ūniversa domus tua.And he related to us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing and saying to him: 'Send to Joppa, and summon Simon who is surnamed Peter, who will speak to you words in which you will be saved, you and all your house.' Act 11:15Cum autem coepissem loquī, cecidit Spīritus Sānctus super eōs, sīcut et in nōs in initiō.But when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us too in the beginning. Act 11:16Recordātus sum autem verbī Dominī, sīcut dīcēbat: Jōannēs quidem baptizāvit aquā, vōs autem baptizābiminī Spīritū Sānctō.And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he used to say: 'John indeed baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.' Act 11:17Sī ergō eamdem grātiam dedit illīs Deus, sīcut et nōbīs quī crēdidimus in Dominum Jēsum Chrīstum: ego quis eram, quī possem prohibēre Deum?If therefore God gave them the same grace, as to us too who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ: who was I, that I could forbid God?"
Act 11:18Hīs audītīs, tacuērunt: et glōrificāvērunt Deum, dīcentēs: Ergō et gentibus poenitentiam dedit Deus ad vītam.These things having been heard, they fell silent: and they glorified God, saying: "Then to the gentiles too God has given repentance unto life." Act 11:19Et illī quidem quī dispersī fuerant ā trībulātiōne quae facta fuerat sub Stephanō, perambulāvērunt ūsque Phoenīcēn, et Cyprum, et Antiochīam, nēminī loquentēs verbum, nisi sōlīs Jūdaeīs.And those indeed who had been scattered by the tribulation which had arisen under Stephen travelled as far as Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to the Jews alone. Act 11:20Erant autem quīdam ex eīs virī Cypriī et Cȳrēnaeī, quī cum introīssent Antiochīam, loquēbantur et ad Graecōs, annūntiantēs Dominum Jēsum.But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come into Antioch, were speaking to the Greeks too, announcing the Lord Jesus. Act 11:21Et erat manus Dominī cum eīs: multusque numerus crēdentium conversus est ad Dominum.And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number of those believing turned to the Lord. Act 11:22Pervēnit autem sermō ad aurēs ecclēsiae quae erat Jerosolymīs super istīs: et mīsērunt Barnabam ūsque ad Antiochīam.And the report about these things reached the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.
Act 11:23Quī cum pervēnisset, et vīdisset grātiam Deī, gāvīsus est: et hortābātur omnēs in prōpositō cordis permanēre in Dominō: quia erat vir bonus, et plēnus Spīritū Sānctō, et fidē.He, when he had arrived, and had seen the grace of God, rejoiced: and he was exhorting all to remain in the Lord with purpose of heart: for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith. Act 11:24Et apposita est multa turba Dominō.And a great crowd was added to the Lord. Act 11:25Profectus est autem Barnabas Tarsum, ut quaereret Saulum: quem cum invēnisset, perdūxit Antiochīam.And Barnabas set out for Tarsus, to seek Saul: and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. Act 11:26Et annum tōtum conversātī sunt ibi in ecclēsiā: et docuērunt turbam multam, ita ut cognōminārentur prīmum Antiochīae discipulī, chrīstiānī.And for a whole year they lived there in the church: and they taught a great crowd, so that the disciples were first named at Antioch Christians. Act 11:27In hīs autem diēbus supervēnērunt ab Jerosolymīs prophētae Antiochīam: et surgēns ūnus ex eīs nōmine Agabus, significābat per spīritum famem magnam futūram in ūniversō orbe terrārum, quae facta est sub Claudiō.And in these days there came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch: and one of them, by name Agabus, rising up, was indicating through the spirit that there would be a great famine in the whole world, which happened under Claudius.
Act 11:29Discipulī autem, prōut quis habēbat, prōposuērunt singulī in ministerium mittere habitantibus in Jūdaeā frātribus: quod et fēcērunt, mittentēs ad seniōrēs per manūs Barnabae et Saulī.And the disciples, according as each one had means, each resolved to send for relief to the brothers living in Judea: which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
