Acts 11 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

Peter Reports at Jerusalem

Act 11:1

Act 11:1And the apostles and the brethren who were in Judaea heard that the nations also had received the word of God;

Act 11:2

Act 11:2and when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision contended with him,

Act 11:3

Act 11:3saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised and hast eaten with them.

Act 11:4

Act 11:4But Peter began and set forth the matter to them in order, saying,

Act 11:5

Act 11:5I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in an ecstasy I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down by four corners out of heaven, and it came even to me:

Act 11:6

Act 11:6on which having fixed mine eyes, I considered, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven.

Act 11:7

Act 11:7And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat.

Act 11:8

Act 11:8And I said, In no wise, Lord, for common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.

Act 11:9

Act 11:9And a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God has cleansed, do not *thou* make common.

Act 11:10

Act 11:10And this took place thrice, and again all was drawn up into heaven;

Act 11:11

Act 11:11and lo, immediately three men were at the house in which I was, sent to me from Caesarea.

Act 11:12

Act 11:12And the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also, and we entered into the house of the man,

Act 11:13

Act 11:13and he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send men to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter,

Act 11:14

Act 11:14who shall speak words to thee whereby *thou* shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.

Act 11:15

Act 11:15And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning.

Act 11:16

Act 11:16And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptised with water, but *ye* shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit.

Act 11:17

Act 11:17If then God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was *I* to be able to forbid God?

Act 11:18

Act 11:18And when they heard these things they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then indeed God has to the nations also granted repentance to life.

Act 11:19

Act 11:19They then who had been scattered abroad through the tribulation that took place on the occasion of Stephen, passed through the country to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one but to Jews alone.

Act 11:22

Act 11:22And the report concerning them reached the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go through as far as Antioch:

Act 11:23

Act 11:23who, having arrived and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted all with purpose of heart to abide with the Lord;

Act 11:24

Act 11:24for he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith; and a large crowd of people were added to the Lord.

Act 11:30

Act 11:30which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
