But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he stood condemned.For he regularly ate with the Gentiles before certain men came from James.

saying,“ You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them.”Peter began to explain to them step by step,“ I was in the town of Joppa praying, and I saw, in a trance, an object that resembled a large sheet coming down, being lowered by its four corners from heaven, and it came to me.When I looked closely and considered it, I saw the four-footed animals of the earth, the wild beasts, the reptiles, and the birds of the sky.I also heard a voice telling me,‘ Get up, Peter; kill and eat.’“‘ No, Lord!’ I said.‘ For nothing impure or ritually unclean has ever entered my mouth.’But a voice answered from heaven a second time,‘ What God has made clean, you must not call impure.’“ Now this happened three times, and everything was drawn up again into heaven.At that very moment, three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea arrived at the house where we were.The Spirit told me to accompany them with no doubts at all. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we went into the man’s house.He reported to us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying,‘ Send to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is also named Peter.He will speak a message to you by which you and all your household will be saved.’“ As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came down on them, just as on us at the beginning.I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said,‘ John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’If, then, God gave them the same gift that he also gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, how could I possibly hinder God?”When they heard this they became silent. And they glorified God, saying,“ So then, God has given repentance resulting in life even to the Gentiles.”
