¹ܘܐܫܬܡܥܬ ܗܘܬ ܠܫܠܝܚܐ ܘܠܐܚܐ ܕܒܝܗܘܕ ܕܐܦ ܥܡܡܐ ܩܒܠܘ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

¹And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

²ܘܟܕ ܤܠܩ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܝܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܀

²And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,

³ܟܕ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܘܬ ܐܢܫܐ ܥܘܪܠܐ ܥܠ ܘܠܥܤ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܀

³Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.

⁴ܘܐܩܦ ܗܘܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܬܪ ܒܬܪ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܀

⁴But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,

⁵ܕܟܕ ܡܨܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܒܝܘܦܐ ܚܙܝܬ ܒܚܙܘܐ ܕܢܚܬ ܗܘܐ ܡܐܢܐ ܚܕ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܕܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܟܬܢܐ ܘܐܤܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܪܒܥ ܩܪܢܬܗ ܘܫܐܒ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܀

⁵I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:

⁶ܘܚܪܬ ܒܗ ܘܚܙܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܐܪܒܥܬ ܪܓܠܝܗܝܢ ܘܪܚܫܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܦ ܦܪܚܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܀

⁶Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

⁷ܘܫܡܥܬ ܗܘܝܬ ܩܠܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܘܡ ܟܘܤ ܘܐܟܘܠ ܀

⁷And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

⁸ܘܐܡܪܬ ܚܤ ܡܪܝ ܕܡܡܬܘܡ ܠܐ ܥܠ ܠܦܘܡܝ ܕܛܡܐ ܘܕܡܤܝܒ ܀

⁸But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.

⁹ܘܬܘܒ ܩܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܟܝ ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܬܤܝܒ ܀

⁹But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

¹⁰ܗܕܐ ܗܘܬ ܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܘܐܤܬܠܩ ܠܗ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܀

¹⁰And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

¹¹ܘܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܓܒܪܝܢ ܕܐܫܬܕܪܘ ܠܘܬܝ ܡܢ ܩܘܪܢܠܝܘܤ ܡܢ ܩܤܪܝܐ ܐܬܘ ܘܩܡܘ ܥܠ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܕܪܬܐ ܕܫܪܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܒܗ ܀

¹¹And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.

¹²ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܙܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܦܘܠܓܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܥܡܝ ܐܦ ܗܠܝܢ ܫܬܐ ܐܚܝܢ ܘܥܠܢ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܀

¹²And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:

¹³ܘܐܫܬܥܝ ܠܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܚܙܐ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܩܡ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܫܕܪ ܠܝܘܦܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܝܬܐ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܀

¹³And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;

¹⁴ܘܗܘ ܢܡܠܠ ܥܡܟ ܡܠܐ ܕܒܗܝܢ ܬܚܐ ܐܢܬ ܘܟܠܗ ܒܝܬܟ ܀

¹⁴Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.

¹⁵ܘܟܕ ܐܩܦܬ ܗܘܝܬ ܬܡܢ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܐܓܢܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܥܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܀

¹⁵And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.

¹⁶ܘܐܬܕܟܪܬ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܕܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܥܡܕ ܒܡܝܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܬܥܡܕܘܢ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܀

¹⁶Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

¹⁷ܐܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܫܘܝܐܝܬ ܝܗܒܗ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܠܥܡܡܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܠܢ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܕܐܤܦܩ ܗܘܝܬ ܕܐܟܠܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܀

¹⁷Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?

¹⁸ܘܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܫܡܥܘ ܫܠܝܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܫܒܚܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܟܒܪ ܐܦ ܠܥܡܡܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܝܗܒ ܬܝܒܘܬܐ ܠܚܝܐ ܀

¹⁸When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

¹⁹ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܬܒܕܪܘ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܐܤܛܦܢܘܤ ܡܛܝܘ ܗܘܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܦܘܢܝܩܐ ܘܐܦ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܕܩܘܦܪܘܤ ܘܠܐܢܛܝܟܝܐ ܟܕ ܥܡ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܠܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܥܡ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

¹⁹Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.

²⁰ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܘܦܪܘܤ ܘܡܢ ܩܘܪܝܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܠܘ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܢܛܝܘܟܝ ܘܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡ ܝܘܢܝܐ ܘܡܤܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܀

²⁰And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the LORD Jesus.

²¹ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܐܝܕܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܘܐܬܦܢܝܘ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܀

²¹And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.

²²ܘܐܫܬܡܥܬ ܗܘܬ ܗܝ ܗܕܐ ܠܐܕܢܝܗܘܢ ܕܒܢܝ ܥܕܬܐ ܕܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܫܕܪܘ ܠܒܪܢܒܐ ܠܐܢܛܝܘܟܝ ܀

²²Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.

²³ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܠܬܡܢ ܘܚܙܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܕܝ ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܒܟܠܗ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܢܩܝܦܝܢ ܠܡܪܢ ܀

²³Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

²⁴ܡܛܠ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܡܫܡܠܝ ܗܘܐ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܐܬܬܘܤܦ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܠܡܪܢ ܀

²⁴For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.

²⁵ܘܗܘ ܢܦܩ ܗܘܐ ܠܛܪܤܘܤ ܠܡܒܥܐ ܠܫܐܘܠ ܀

²⁵Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:

²⁶ܘܟܕ ܐܫܟܚܗ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܥܡܗ ܠܐܢܛܝܟܝܐ ܘܫܢܬܐ ܟܠܗ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܟܢܝܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܥܕܬܐ ܘܐܠܦܘ ܥܡܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܩܕܡܝܬ ܐܬܩܪܝܘ ܒܐܢܛܝܘܟܝ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܟܪܤܛܝܢܐ ܀

²⁶And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

²⁷ܘܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܐܬܘ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܬܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܀

²⁷And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.

²⁸ܘܩܡ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܐܓܒܘܤ ܘܐܘܕܥ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܪܘܚ ܕܟܦܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܟܦܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܝܘܡܝ ܩܠܘܕܝܘܤ ܩܤܪ ܀

²⁸And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.

²⁹ܒܪܡ ܕܝܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܦܪܫܘ ܕܢܫܕܪܘܢ ܠܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܕܐܚܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܪܝܢ ܒܝܗܘܕ ܀

²⁹Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:

³⁰ܘܫܕܪܘ ܒܝܕ ܒܪܢܒܐ ܘܫܐܘܠ ܠܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܬܡܢ ܀

³⁰Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
