9. “And the voice answered me again from the heaven, ‘What Elohim has cleansed you do not consider common.’
10. “And this took place three times, and all were drawn up again into the heaven.
11. “And see, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
12. “And the Spirit said to me to go with them, not doubting at all. And these six brothers also went with me, and we went into the man’s house.
13. “And he told us how he had seen a messenger standing in his house, who said to him, ‘Send men to Yapho, and call for Shim‛on who is also called Kĕpha,
14. who shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved, you and all your house.’
15. “And as I began to speak, the Set-apart Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning.
16. “And I remembered the word of the Master, how He said, ‘Yoḥanan indeed immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in the Set-apart Spirit.’
17. “So if Elohim gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Master יהושע Messiah, how was I able to withstand Elohim?”
18. And having heard this, they were silent, and praised Elohim, saying, “Then Elohim has indeed also given to the gentiles repentance to life.”
19. Then, indeed, they who were scattered because of the pressure that arose over Stephanos passed through to Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except the Yehuḏim only.
20. But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, bringing the Good News: the Master יהושע!
21. And the hand of the Master was with them, and a great number having believed turned to the Master.
