NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Audierunt autem apostoli et fratres, qui erant in Iudaea, quoniam etgentes receperunt verbum Dei.	1 Now the Apostles and brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the Word of God.
2 Cum ascendisset autem Petrus in Ierusalem,disceptabant adversus illum, qui erant ex circumcisione,	2 Then, when Peter had gone up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision argued against him,
3 dicentes: “Introisti ad viros praeputium habentes et manducasti cum illis! ”.	3 saying, “Why did you enter to uncircumcised men, and why did you eat with them?”
4 Incipiens autem Petrus exponebat illis ex ordine dicens:	4 And Peter began to explain to them, in an orderly manner, saying:
5 “ Ego eram incivitate Ioppe orans et vidi in excessu mentis visionem, descendens vas quoddamvelut linteum magnum quattuor initiis submitti de caelo et venit usque ad me;	5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw, in an ecstasy of mind, a vision: a certain container descending, like a great linen sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. And it drew near to me.
6 in quod intuens considerabam et vidi quadrupedia terrae et bestias et reptiliaet volatilia caeli.	6 And looking into it, I considered and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the flying things of the air.
7 Audivi autem et vocem dicentem mihi: “Surgens, Petre,occide et manduca!”.	7 Then I also heard a voice saying to me: ‘Rise up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
8 Dixi autem: Nequaquam, Domine, quia commune autimmundum numquam introivit in os meum.	8 But I said: ‘Never, lord! For what is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’
9 Respondit autem vox secundo de caelo:“Quae Deus mundavit, tu ne commune dixeris”.	9 Then the voice responded a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you shall not call common.’
10 Hoc autem factum est perter, et retracta sunt rursum omnia in caelum.	10 Now this was done three times. And then everything was taken up again into heaven.
11 Et ecce confestim tres viriastiterunt in domo, in qua eramus, missi a Caesarea ad me.	11 And behold, immediately there were three men standing near the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
12 Dixit autemSpiritus mihi, ut irem cum illis nihil haesitans. Venerunt autem mecum et sexfratres isti, et ingressi sumus in domum viri.	12 Then the Spirit told me that I should go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers went with me also. And we entered into the house of the man.
13 Narravit autem nobis quomodovidisset angelum ad domum suam stantem et dicentem: “Mitte in Ioppen etaccersi Simonem, qui cognominatur Petrus,	13 And he described for us how he had seen an Angel in his house, standing and saying to him: ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
14 qui loquetur tibi verba, in quibussalvus eris tu et universa domus tua”.	14 And he shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved with your whole house.’
15 Cum autem coepissem loqui, deciditSpiritus Sanctus super eos, sicut et super nos in initio.	15 And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning.
16 Recordatus sumautem verbi Domini, sicut dicebat: “Ioannes quidem baptizavit aqua, vos autembaptizabimini in Spiritu Sancto”.	16 Then I remembered the words of the Lord, just as he himself said: ‘John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
17 Si ergo aequale donum dedit illis Deussicut et nobis, qui credidimus in Dominum Iesum Christum, ego quis eram quipossem prohibere Deum? ”.	17 Therefore, if God gave them the same grace, as also to us, who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I would be able to prohibit God?”
18 His autem auditis, acquieverunt et glorificaverunt Deum dicentes: “ Ergo etgentibus Deus paenitentiam ad vitam dedit ”.	18 Having heard these things, they were silent. And they glorified God, saying: “So has God also given to the Gentiles repentance unto life.”
19 Et illi quidem, qui dispersi fuerant a tribulatione, quae facta fuerat subStephano, perambulaverunt usque Phoenicen et Cyprum et Antiochiam, neminiloquentes verbum; nisi solis Iudaeis.	19 And some of them, having been dispersed by the persecution that had occurred under Stephen, traveled around, even to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the Word to no one, except to Jews only.
20 Erant autem quidam ex eis viri Cypriiet Cyrenaei, qui, cum introissent Antiochiam, loquebantur et ad Graecosevangelizantes Dominum Iesum.	20 But some of these men from Cyprus and Cyrene, when they had entered into Antioch, were speaking also to the Greeks, announcing the Lord Jesus.
21 Et erat manus Domini cum eis; multusque numeruscredentium conversus est ad Dominum.	21 And the hand of the Lord was with them. And a great number believed and were converted to the Lord.
22 Auditus est autem sermo in auribus ecclesiae, quae erat in Ierusalem, superistis, et miserunt Barnabam usque Antiochiam;	22 Now the news came to the ears of the Church at Jerusalem about these things, and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.
23 qui cum pervenisset et vidissetgratiam Dei, gavisus est et hortabatur omnes proposito cordis permanere inDomino,	23 And when he had arrived there and had seen the grace of God, he was gladdened. And he exhorted them all to continue in the Lord with a resolute heart.
24 quia erat vir bonus et plenus Spiritu Sancto et fide. Et apposita estturba multa Domino.	24 For he was a good man, and he was filled with the Holy Spirit and with faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.
25 Profectus est autem Tarsum, ut quaereret Saulum;	25 Then Barnabas set out for Tarsus, so that he might seek Saul. And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch.
26 quemcum invenisset, perduxit Antiochiam. Factum est autem eis, ut annum totumconversarentur in ecclesia et docerent turbam multam, et cognominarentur primumAntiochiae discipuli Christiani.	26 And they were conversing there in the Church for an entire year. And they taught such a great multitude, that it was at Antioch that the disciples were first known by the name of Christian.
27 In his autem diebus supervenerunt ab Hierosolymis prophetae Antiochiam;	27 Now in these days, prophets from Jerusalem went over to Antioch.
28 etsurgens unus ex eis nomine Agabus significavit per Spiritum famem magnam futuramin universo orbe terrarum; quae facta est sub Claudio.	28 And one of them, named Agabus, rising up, signified through the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine over the entire world, which did happen under Claudius.
29 Discipuli autem, proutquis habebat, proposuerunt singuli eorum in ministerium mittere habitantibus inIudaea fratribus;	29 Then the disciples declared, according to what each one possessed, what they would offer to be sent to the brothers living in Judea.
30 quod et fecerunt, mittentes ad presbyteros per manumBarnabae et Sauli.	30 And so they did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
