Acts 10:10He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.Acts 10:11He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.Acts 10:12It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air.Acts 10:13Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!”Acts 10:14“No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”Acts 10:15The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”Acts 10:16This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.Acts 11:1The apostles and brothers throughout Judea soon heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.Acts 11:2So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers took issue with himActs 11:3and said, “You visited uncircumcised men and ate with them.”Acts 11:4But Peter began and explained to them the whole sequence of events:Acts 11:5“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision of something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came right down to me.Acts 11:6I looked at it closely and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air.Acts 11:7Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, kill and eat.’Acts 11:8‘No, Lord,’ I said, ‘for nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’Acts 11:9But the voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’Acts 11:10This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into heaven.Acts 11:11Just then three men sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying.Acts 11:12The Spirit told me to accompany them without hesitation. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s home.Acts 11:13He told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house and saying, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter.Acts 11:14He will convey to you a message by which you and all your household will be saved.’Acts 11:15As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as He had fallen upon us at the beginning.Acts 11:16Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’Acts 11:17So if God gave them the same gift He gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to hinder the work of God?”Acts 11:18When they heard this, they had no further objections, and they glorified God, saying, “So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life.”Acts 12:3And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.Acts 12:4He arrested him and put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out to the people after the Passover.Acts 12:5So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was fervently praying to God for him.Acts 12:6On the night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with sentries standing guard at the entrance to the prison.Acts 12:7Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his wrists.Acts 12:8“Get dressed and put on your sandals,” said the angel. Peter did so, and the angel told him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.”Acts 12:9So Peter followed him out, but he was unaware that what the angel was doing was real. He thought he was only seeing a vision.Acts 12:10They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city, which opened for them by itself. When they had gone outside and walked the length of one block, the angel suddenly left him.Acts 12:11Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent His angel and rescued me from Herod’s grasp and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating.”Acts 12:12And when he had realized this, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered together and were praying.Acts 12:13He knocked at the outer gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.Acts 12:14When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed that she forgot to open the gate, but ran inside and announced, “Peter is standing at the gate!”Acts 12:15“You are out of your mind,” they told her. But when she kept insisting it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”Acts 12:16But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.Acts 12:17Peter motioned with his hand for silence, and he described how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. “Send word to James and to the brothers,” he said, and he left for another place.Acts 12:18At daybreak there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.Acts 12:19After Herod had searched for him unsuccessfully, he examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent some time there.Acts 15:7After much discussion, Peter got up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you that the Gentiles would hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe.Acts 15:8And God, who knows the heart, showed His approval by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as He did to us.Acts 15:9He made no distinction between us and them, for He cleansed their hearts by faith.Acts 15:10Now then, why do you test God by placing on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear?Acts 15:11On the contrary, we believe it is through the grace of the Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”1 Corinthians 15:4that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,1 Corinthians 15:5and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.Galatians 1:18Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.Galatians 2:9And recognizing the grace that I had been given, James, Cephas, and John—those reputed to be pillars—gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.1 Peter 1:1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the elect who are exiles of the Dispersion throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen2 Peter 1:1Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:2 Peter 1:16For we did not follow cleverly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.2 Peter 1:17For He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”2 Peter 1:18And we ourselves heard this voice from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
