11:1 使徒和在犹太的众弟兄，听见外邦人也领受了神的话。
And the apostles and the brothers who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
11:2 及至彼得上了耶路撒冷，那些奉割礼的人和他争辩，说，
And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision disputed with him,
11:3 你进到未受割礼的人那里，和他们一同吃饭了。
Saying, You went in to men who are uncircumcised and ate with them.
11:4 彼得就开始按着次序给他们解释，说，
And Peter began, and he explained to them in sequence, saying,
11:5 我在约帕城里祷告的时候，魂游象外，看见异象，有一器皿降下，好像一块大布，系着四角，从天缒下，直来到我跟前。
I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel like a great sheet descending, being let down by four corners out of heaven; and it came unto me.
11:6 我定睛往里面察看，见有地上四足的牲畜、野兽、爬物并天空的飞鸟。
Looking intently into it, I examined it and saw the four-footed animals of the earth and the wild beasts and the reptiles and the birds of heaven.
11:7 我且听见有声音向我说，彼得，起来，宰了吃！
And I also heard a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter; slay and eat!
11:8 我说，主啊，绝对不可，因为凡俗或不洁之物，从来没有入过我的口。
But I said, By no means, Lord, for no common or unclean thing has ever entered into my mouth.
11:9 第二次有声音从天上说，神所洁净的，你不可当作俗物。
And a voice answered a second time out of heaven, The things that God has cleansed, do not make common.
11:10 这样一连有三次，就都拉回天上去了。
And this occurred three times, and everything was drawn up again into heaven.
11:11 看哪，正当那时，有三个人站在我们所在的屋子前，是从该撒利亚差到我这里来的。
And behold, at that moment three men stood at the house in which we were, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
11:12 那灵吩咐我和他们同去，不要疑惑。同着我去的，还有这六位弟兄，我们都进了那人的家。
And the Spirit told me to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers went with me also; and we entered into the man's house.
11:13 那人就告诉我们，他如何看见一位天使，站在他屋里，说，你打发人往约帕去，请那称呼彼得的西门来，
And he reported to us how he saw the angel standing in his house and saying, Send men to Joppa and send for Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
11:14 他有话要对你说，可以叫你和你的全家得救。
Who will speak words to you by which you shall be saved, you and all your house.
11:15 我一开讲，圣灵便降在他们身上，正像当初降在我们身上一样。
And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as also on us in the beginning.
11:16 我就想起主所说的话，约翰是在水里施浸，但你们要在圣灵里受浸。
And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.
11:17 神既然给他们同样的恩赐，像给我们这些信靠主耶稣基督的人一样，我是谁，那能拦阻神？
If therefore God has given to them the equal gift as also to us who have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could have forbidden God?
11:18 众人听见这话，就静默无声，只荣耀神说，这样看来，神也把悔改以得生命赐给外邦人了。
And when they heard these things, they became silent and glorified God, saying, Then to the Gentiles also God has given repentance unto life.
