In those days: the Apostles and brethren that were in Jewry, heard that the Gentiles also received the word of God. And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the Circumcision reasoned against him, saying: Why didst thou enter in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them? But Peter began and declared to them the order, saying: I was in the city of Joppe praying, & I saw in an excess of mind a vision, a certain vessel descending as it were a great sheet with four corners let down from heaven, & it came even unto me. Into which I looking considered, & saw four footed beasts of the earth, & cattle, & such as creep, & fowls of the air. And I heard also a voice saying to me: Arise Peter, kill and eat. And I said: Not so Lord; for common or unclean thing never entered into my mouth. And a voice answered the second time from heaven: That which God hath made clean, do not thou call common. And this was done thrice: and all were taken up again into heaven. And behold, three men immediately were come to the house wherein I was, sent to me from Cæsarea. And the spirit said to me, that I should go with them, doubting nothing. And there came with me these six brethren also: and we went into the man's house. And he told us, how he had seen an Angel in his house, standing and saying to him: Send to Joppe, and call hither Simon, that is surnamed Peter, who shall speak to thee words wherein thou shalt be saved and all thy house. And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell upon them, as upon us also in the beginning. And I remembered the word of our Lord, according as he said: John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. If therefore God hath given them the same grace, as to us also that believed in our Lord Jesus Christ: who was I that might prohibit God? Having heard these things, they held their peace: & glorified God, saying: God then to the Gentiles also hath given repentance unto life.
