because anything common or unclean hath at no time entered into my mouth;Acts 11:9and a voice did answer me a second time out of the heaven, What God did cleanse, thou—declare not thou common.Acts 11:10‘And this happened thrice, and again was all drawn up to the heaven,Acts 11:11and, lo, immediately, three men stood at the house in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea unto me,Acts 11:12and the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting, and these six brethren also went with me, and we did enter into the house of the man,Acts 11:13he declared also to us how he saw the messenger in his house standing, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter,Acts 11:14who shall speak sayings by which thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.Acts 11:15‘And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit did fall upon them, even as also upon us in the beginning,Acts 11:16and I remembered the saying of the Lord, how he said, John indeed did baptize with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit;Acts 11:17if then the equal gift God did give to them as also to us, having believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I—how was I able to withstand God?’Acts 11:18And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, ‘Then, indeed, also to the nations did God give the reformation to life.’Acts 13:2and in their ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, ‘Separate ye to me both Barnabas and Saul to the work to which I have called them,’Acts 13:46And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, ‘To you it was necessary that first the word of God be spoken, and seeing ye do thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the life age-during, lo, we do turn to the nations;Acts 13:47for so hath the Lord commanded us: I have set thee for a light of nations—for thy being for salvation unto the end of the earth.’Acts 13:48And the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the Lord, and did believe—as many as were appointed to life age-during;Acts 14:16who in the past generations did suffer all the nations to go on in their ways,Acts 14:27and having come and gathered together the assembly, they declared as many things as God did with them, and that He did open to the nations a door of faith;Acts 15:7and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said unto them, ‘Men, brethren, ye know that from former days, God among us did make choice, through my mouth, for the nations to hear the word of the good news, and to believe;Acts 15:8and the heart-knowing God did bare them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us,Acts 15:9and did put no difference also between us and them, by the faith having purified their hearts;Acts 15:12And all the multitude did keep silence, and were hearkening to Barnabas and Paul, declaring as many signs and wonders as God did among the nations through them;Acts 15:13and after they are silent, James answered, saying, ‘Men, brethren, hearken to me;Acts 15:14Simeon did declare how at first God did look after to take out of the nations a people for His name,Acts 15:15and to this agree the words of the prophets, as it hath been written:Acts 15:16After these things I will turn back, and I will build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and its ruins I will build again, and will set it upright—Acts 15:17that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the nations, upon whom My name hath been called, saith the Lord, who is doing all these things.Acts 15:18‘Known from the ages to God are all His works;Acts 15:19wherefore I judge: not to trouble those who from the nations do turn back to God,Acts 15:20but to write to them to abstain from the pollutions of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing; and the blood;Acts 15:21for Moses from former generations in every city hath those preaching him—in the synagogues every sabbath being read.’Acts 15:22Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, chosen men out of themselves to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas—Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren—Acts 15:23having written through their hand thus: ‘The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to those in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, brethren, who are of the nations, greeting;Acts 15:24seeing we have heard that certain having gone forth from us did trouble you with words, subverting your souls, saying to be circumcised and to keep the law, to whom we did give no charge,Acts 15:25it seemed good to us, having come together with one accord, chosen men to send unto you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul—Acts 15:26men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—Acts 15:27we have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they by word are telling the same things.Acts 15:28‘For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, no more burden to lay upon you, except these necessary things:Acts 15:29to abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom; from which keeping yourselves, ye shall do well; be strong!’Acts 15:30They then, indeed, having been let go, went to Antioch, and having brought the multitude together, did deliver the epistle,Acts 15:31and they having read, did rejoice for the consolation;Acts 17:4And certain of them did believe, and attached themselves to Paul and to Silas, also of the worshipping Greeks a great multitude, of the principal women also not a few.Acts 17:16and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding the city wholly given to idolatry,Acts 17:17therefore, indeed, he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the worshipping persons, and in the market-place every day with those who met with him.Acts 17:22And Paul, having stood in the midst of the Areopagus, said, ‘Men, Athenians, in all things I perceive you as over-religious;Acts 17:23for passing through and contemplating your objects of worship, I found also an erection on which had been inscribed: To God—unknown; whom, therefore—not knowing—ye do worship, this One I announce to you.Acts 17:24‘God, who did make the world, and all things in it, this One, of heaven and of earth being Lord, in temples made with hands doth not dwell,Acts 17:25neither by the hands of men is He served—needing anything, He giving to all life, and breath, and all things;Acts 17:26He made also of one blood every nation of men, to dwell upon all the face of the earth—having ordained times before appointed, and the bounds of their dwellings—Acts 17:27to seek the Lord, if perhaps they did feel after Him and find,—though, indeed, He is not far from each one of us,Acts 18:4and he was reasoning in the synagogue every sabbath, persuading both Jews and Greeks.Acts 18:5And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus the Christ;Acts 18:6and on their resisting and speaking evil, having shaken his garments, he said unto them, ‘Your blood is upon your head—I am clean; henceforth to the nations I will go on.’Acts 26:16but rise, and stand upon thy feet, for for this I appeared to thee, to appoint thee an officer and a witness both of the things thou didst see, and of the things in which I will appear to thee,Acts 26:17delivering thee from the people, and the nations, to whom now I send thee,
