ESV

1	Now the apostles and the brothers who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
2	So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party criticized him, saying,
3	“You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them.”
4	But Peter began and explained it to them in order:
5	“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, something like a great sheet descending, being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to me.
6	Looking at it closely, I observed animals and beasts of prey and reptiles and birds of the air.
7	And I heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter; kill and eat.'
8	But I said, 'By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.'
9	But the voice answered a second time from heaven, 'What God has made clean, do not call common.'
10	This happened three times, and all was drawn up again into heaven.
11	And behold, at that very moment three men arrived at the house in which we were, sent to me from Caesarea.
12	And the Spirit told me to go with them, making no distinction. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered the man's house.
13	And he told us how he had seen the angel stand in his house and say, 'Send to Joppa and bring Simon who is called Peter;
14	he will declare to you a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household.'
15	As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning.
16	And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, 'John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'
17	If then God gave the same gift to them as he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God's way?“
18	When they heard these things they fell silent. And they glorified God, saying, “Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life.”
19	Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews.
20	But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists also, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21	And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number who believed turned to the Lord.
22	The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
23	When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose,
24	for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord.
25	So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
26	and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.
27	Now in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28	And one of them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the world (this took place in the days of Claudius).
29	So the disciples determined, everyone according to his ability, to send relief to the brothers living in Judea.
30	And they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

NIV

1	The apostles and the brothers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
2	So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized him
3	and said, “You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them.”
4	Peter began and explained everything to them precisely as it had happened:
5	“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.
6	I looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air.
7	Then I heard a voice telling me, 'Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.'
8	“I replied, 'Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.'
9	“The voice spoke from heaven a second time, 'Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.'
10	This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.
11	“Right then three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying.
12	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.
13	He told us how he had seen an angel appear in his house and say, 'Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter.
14	He will bring you a message through which you and all your household will be saved.'
15	“As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning.
16	Then I remembered what the Lord had said: 'John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'
17	So if God gave them the same gift as he gave us, who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could oppose God?“
18	When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life.”
19	Now those who had been scattered by the persecution in connection with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, telling the message only to Jews.
20	Some of them, however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus.
21	The Lord's hand was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.
22	News of this reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
23	When he arrived and saw the evidence of the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.
24	He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.
25	Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
26	and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
27	During this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28	One of them, named Agabus, stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world. (This happened during the reign of Claudius.)
29	The disciples, each according to his ability, decided to provide help for the brothers living in Judea.
30	This they did, sending their gift to the elders by Barnabas and Saul.

NLT

1	Soon the news reached the apostles and other believers in Judea that the Gentiles had received the word of God.
2	But when Peter arrived back in Jerusalem, the Jewish believers criticized him.
3	“You entered the home of Gentiles and even ate with them!” they said.
4	Then Peter told them exactly what had happened.
5	“I was in the town of Joppa,” he said, “and while I was praying, I went into a trance and saw a vision. Something like a large sheet was let down by its four corners from the sky. And it came right down to me.
6	When I looked inside the sheet, I saw all sorts of small animals, wild animals, reptiles, and birds.
7	And I heard a voice say, 'Get up, Peter; kill and eat them.'
8	“ 'No, Lord,' I replied. 'I have never eaten anything that our Jewish laws have declared impure or unclean. '
9	“But the voice from heaven spoke again: 'Do not call something unclean if God has made it clean.'
10	This happened three times before the sheet and all it contained was pulled back up to heaven.
11	“Just then three men who had been sent from Caesarea arrived at the house where we were staying.
12	The Holy Spirit told me to go with them and not to worry that they were Gentiles. These six brothers here accompanied me, and we soon entered the home of the man who had sent for us.
13	He told us how an angel had appeared to him in his home and had told him, 'Send messengers to Joppa, and summon a man named Simon Peter.
14	He will tell you how you and everyone in your household can be saved!'
15	“As I began to speak,” Peter continued, “the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as he fell on us at the beginning.
16	Then I thought of the Lord's words when he said, 'John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'
17	And since God gave these Gentiles the same gift he gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to stand in God's way?“
18	When the others heard this, they stopped objecting and began praising God. They said, “We can see that God has also given the Gentiles the privilege of repenting of their sins and receiving eternal life.”
19	Meanwhile, the believers who had been scattered during the persecution after Stephen's death traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch of Syria. They preached the word of God, but only to Jews.
20	However, some of the believers who went to Antioch from Cyprus and Cyrene began preaching to the Gentiles about the Lord Jesus.
21	The power of the Lord was with them, and a large number of these Gentiles believed and turned to the Lord.
22	When the church at Jerusalem heard what had happened, they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
23	When he arrived and saw this evidence of God's blessing, he was filled with joy, and he encouraged the believers to stay true to the Lord.
24	Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and strong in faith. And many people were brought to the Lord.
25	Then Barnabas went on to Tarsus to look for Saul.
26	When he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. Both of them stayed there with the church for a full year, teaching large crowds of people. (It was at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians.)
27	During this time some prophets traveled from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28	One of them named Agabus stood up in one of the meetings and predicted by the Spirit that a great famine was coming upon the entire Roman world. (This was fulfilled during the reign of Claudius.)
29	So the believers in Antioch decided to send relief to the brothers and sisters in Judea, everyone giving as much as they could.
30	This they did, entrusting their gifts to Barnabas and Saul to take to the elders of the church in Jerusalem.

KJV

1	And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
2	And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
3	Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
4	But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,
5	I was in the city of Joppa 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 mine 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, Peter; slay and eat.
8	But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
9	But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou 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 Caesarea unto me.
12	And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:
13	And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
14	Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
15	And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16	Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
17	Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
18	When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
19	Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
20	And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21	And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
22	Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
23	Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
24	For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
25	Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
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 church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
27	And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
28	And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.
29	Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:
30	Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
