God's Word Translation

Acts 11:11-17 God's Word Translation (GW)

11. “At that moment three men arrived at the house where we were staying. They had been sent from Caesarea to find me.

12. The Spirit told me to go with them without any hesitation. Six believers ⌊from Joppa⌋ went with me, and we visited Cornelius’ home.

13. “He told us that he had seen an angel standing in his home. The angel told him, ‘Send messengers to Joppa, and summon a man whose name is Simon Peter.

14. He will give you a message that will save you and everyone in your home.’

15. “When I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came to these people. This was the same thing that happened to us in the beginning.

16. I remembered that the Lord had said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized by the Holy Spirit.’

17. When they believed, God gave them the same gift that he gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. So who was I to interfere with God?”
