Acts 11:1-18 (NIV)
Peter Explains His Actions
The apostles and the believers throughout Judea
heard that the Gentiles also had received the word
of God. So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the
circumcised believers criticised him and said, “You
went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate
with them.”

Starting from the beginning, Peter told them the
whole story: “I was in the city of Joppa praying,
and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw something like
a large sheet being let down from heaven by its
four corners, and it came down to where I was. I
looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the
earth, wild beasts, reptiles and birds. Then I heard
a voice telling me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
“I replied, ‘Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or
unclean has ever entered my mouth.’
“The voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do
not call anything impure that God has made clean.’
This happened three times, and then it was all
pulled up to heaven again.
“Right then three men who had been sent to me
from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was
staying. The Spirit told me to have no hesitation
about going with them. These six brothers also
went with me, and we entered the man’s house.
He told us how he had seen an angel appear in his
house and say, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is
called Peter. He will bring you a message through
which you and all your household will be saved.’
“As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on
them as he had come on us at the beginning.
Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John
baptized with water, but you will be baptized with
the Holy Spirit.’ So if God gave them the same gift
he gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ,
who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?”
When they heard this, they had no further
objections and praised God, saying, “So then,
even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that
leads to life.”
