Postulasagan 11
Icelandic Bible
11 En postularnir og bræðurnir í Júdeu heyrðu, að heiðingjarnir hefðu einnig tekið við orði Guðs.
2 Þegar Pétur kom upp til Jerúsalem, deildu umskurnarmennirnir á hann og sögðu:
3 "Þú hefur farið inn til óumskorinna manna og etið með þeim."
4 En Pétur sagði þeim þá alla söguna frá rótum og mælti:
5 "Ég var að biðjast fyrir í borginni Joppe og sá, frá mér numinn, sýn, hlut nokkurn koma niður, eins og stór dúkur væri látinn síga á fjórum skautum frá himni, og hann kom til mín.
6 Ég starði á hann og hugði að og sá þá ferfætt dýr jarðar, villidýr, skriðdýr og fugla himins,
7 og ég heyrði rödd segja við mig: ,Slátra nú, Pétur, og et!`
8 En ég sagði: ,Nei, Drottinn, engan veginn, því að aldrei hefur neitt vanheilagt né óhreint komið mér í munn.`
9 Í annað sinn sagði rödd af himni: ,Eigi skalt þú kalla það vanheilagt, sem Guð hefur lýst hreint!`
10 Þetta gjörðist þrem sinnum, og aftur var allt dregið upp til himins.
11 Samstundis stóðu þrír menn við húsið, sem ég var í, sendir til mín frá Sesareu.
12 Og andinn sagði mér að fara með þeim hiklaust. Þessir sex bræður urðu mér einnig samferða, og vér gengum inn í hús mannsins.
13 Hann sagði oss, hvernig hann hefði séð engil standa í húsi sínu, er sagði: ,Send þú til Joppe og lát sækja Símon, er kallast Pétur.
14 Hann mun orð til þín mæla, og fyrir þau munt þú hólpinn verða og allt heimili þitt.`
15 En þegar ég var farinn að tala, kom heilagur andi yfir þá, eins og yfir oss í upphafi.
16 Ég minntist þá orða Drottins, er hann sagði: ,Jóhannes skírði með vatni, en þér skuluð skírðir verða með heilögum anda.`
17 Fyrst Guð gaf þeim nú sömu gjöf og oss, er vér tókum trú á Drottin Jesú Krist, hvernig var ég þá þess umkominn að standa gegn Guði?"
18 Þegar þeir heyrðu þetta, stilltust þeir, og þeir vegsömuðu Guð og sögðu: "Guð hefur þá einnig gefið heiðingjunum afturhvarf til lífs."
19 Þeir, sem dreifst höfðu vegna ofsóknarinnar, sem varð út af Stefáni, fóru allt til Fönikíu, Kýpur og Antíokkíu. En Gyðingum einum fluttu þeir orðið.
20 Nokkrir þeirra voru frá Kýpur og Kýrene, og er þeir komu til Antíokkíu, tóku þeir einnig að tala til Grikkja og boða þeim fagnaðarerindið um Drottin Jesú.
21 Og hönd Drottins var með þeim, og mikill fjöldi tók trú og sneri sér til Drottins.
22 Og fregnin um þá barst til eyrna safnaðarins í Jerúsalem, og þeir sendu Barnabas til Antíokkíu.
23 Þegar hann kom og sá verk Guðs náðar, gladdist hann, og hann áminnti alla um að halda sér fast við Drottin af öllu hjarta.
24 Því hann var góður maður, fullur af heilögum anda og trú. Og mikill fjöldi manna gafst Drottni.
25 Þá fór hann til Tarsus að leita Sál uppi.
26 Þegar hann hafði fundið hann, fór hann með hann til Antíokkíu. Þeir voru síðan saman heilt ár í söfnuðinum og kenndu fjölda fólks. Í Antíokkíu voru lærisveinarnir fyrst kallaðir kristnir.
27 Á þessum dögum komu spámenn frá Jerúsalem til Antíokkíu.
28 Einn þeirra, Agabus að nafni, steig fram, og af gift andans sagði hann fyrir, að mikil hungursneyð mundi koma yfir alla heimsbyggðina. Kom það fram á dögum Kládíusar.
29 En lærisveinarnir samþykktu þá, að hver þeirra skyldi eftir efnum senda nokkuð til hjálpar bræðrunum, sem bjuggu í Júdeu.
30 Þetta gjörðu þeir og sendu það til öldunganna með þeim Barnabasi og Sál.

Peter Explains His Actions
11 The apostles and the believers(A) throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.(B) 2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers(C) criticized him 3 and said, “You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them.”(D)
4 Starting from the beginning, Peter told them the whole story: 5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision.(E) 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. 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.’(F) 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(G) stopped at the house where I was staying. 12 The Spirit told(H) me to have no hesitation about going with them.(I) These six brothers(J) also went with me, and we entered the man’s house. 13 He told us how he had seen an angel(K) appear in his house and say, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. 14 He will bring you a message(L) through which you and all your household(M) will be saved.’
15 “As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on(N) them as he had come on us at the beginning.(O) 16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with[a] water,(P) but you will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit.’(Q) 17 So if God gave them the same gift(R) he gave us(S) who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?”
18 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.”(T)
The Church in Antioch
19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that broke out when Stephen was killed(U) traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch,(V) spreading the word only among Jews. 20 Some of them, however, men from Cyprus(W) and Cyrene,(X) went to Antioch(Y) and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news(Z) about the Lord Jesus. 21 The Lord’s hand was with them,(AA) and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.(AB)
22 News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas(AC) to Antioch. 23 When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done,(AD) he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.(AE) 24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit(AF) and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.(AG)
25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus(AH) 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(AI) were called Christians first(AJ) at Antioch.
27 During this time some prophets(AK) came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 One of them, named Agabus,(AL) stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world.(AM) (This happened during the reign of Claudius.)(AN) 29 The disciples,(AO) as each one was able, decided to provide help(AP) for the brothers and sisters(AQ) living in Judea. 30 This they did, sending their gift to the elders(AR) by Barnabas(AS) and Saul.(AT)

King James Version
11 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.
