¹ AND the apostles and brethren that were in Yahud heard that the other nations had also received the Word of Elohiym.

² And when Kepha was come up to Yerushalayim, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,

³ Saying, You went in to men uncircumcised, and did eat with them.

⁴ But Kepha rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,

⁵ I was in the city of Yapho praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:

⁶ Upon the which when I had fastened my eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

⁷ And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Kepha; slay and eat.

⁸ But I said, Not so, Adonai: for nothing common or unclean has at any time entered into my mouth.

⁹ But the voice answered me again from heaven, What Elohiym has cleansed, that call not common.

¹⁰ And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

¹¹ And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Qeycaryah unto me.

¹² And the Ruach bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:

¹³ And he showed us את how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Yapho, and call for Shim`on, whose surname is Kepha;

¹⁴ Who shall tell you words, whereby you and all your house shall be saved.

¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Ruach Ha'Qodesh fell on them, as on us at the beginning.

¹⁶ Then remembered I את the Word of Adonai, how that he said, Yahuchanon indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Ruach Ha'Qodesh.

¹⁷ Forasmuch then as Elohiym gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Adonai Yahusha Ha'Mashiach; what was I, that I could withstand Elohiym?

¹⁸ When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified Elohiym, saying, Then has Elohiym also to the other nations granted repentance unto life.

¹⁹ Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Yahudiym only.

²⁰ And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spoke unto the Yavaniym, preaching Adonai Yahusha.

²¹ And the hand of Yahuah was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto El-Yahuah.

²² Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the called out assembly which was in Yerushalayim: and they sent forth Bar-Naviy, that he should go as far as Antioch.

²³ Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of Elohiym, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto Yahuah.

²⁴ For he was a good man, and full of the Ruach Ha'Qodesh and of faith: and much people were added unto Yahuah.

²⁵ Then departed Bar-Naviy to Tarsus, for to seek Sha'ul:

²⁶ And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the called out assembly, and taught much people. And the Talmidiym were called Mashiachiym first in Antioch.

²⁷ And in these days came prophets from Yerushalayim unto Antioch.

²⁸ And there stood up one of them named Chagav, and signified by the Ruach that there should be great famine throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Qeycar.

²⁹ Then the Talmidiym, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Yahud:

³⁰ Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Bar-Naviy and Sha'ul.
