Acts of the Apostles
The Acts of our fathers the apostles, may their blessings be with us.
Acts 11 : 12 - 18
Chapter 11
12 | Then the Spirit told me to go with them, doubting nothing. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered the man's house.
|
13 | And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, "Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter,
|
14 | who will tell you words by which you and all your household will be saved.'
|
15 | And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning.
|
16 | Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, "John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'
|
17 | If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?"
|
18 | When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life."
|
The word of the Lord shall grow, multiply, be mighty, and be confirmed, in the holy Church of God.
Amen.
