Peter began to explain to them in an orderly sequence, saying:

When I looked closely and considered it, I saw the four-footed animals of the earth, the wild beasts, the reptiles, and the birds of the sky.

" 'No, Lord!' I said. 'For nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth!'

"Now this happened three times, and then everything was drawn up again into heaven.

Then the Spirit told me to go with them with no doubts at all. These six brothers accompanied me, and we went into the man's house.

He will speak words to you by which you and all your household will be saved.'

Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, 'John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'

When they heard this they became silent. Then they glorified God, saying, "So God has granted repentance resulting in life to even the Gentiles!"

After they arrived and gathered the church together, they reported everything God had done with them, and that He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

When they arrived at Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, the apostles, and the elders, and they reported all that God had done with them.

Then the whole assembly fell silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul describing all the signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.

For I would not dare say anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to make the Gentiles obedient by word and deed,

by the power of miraculous signs and wonders, and by the power of God's Spirit. As a result, I have fully proclaimed the good news about the Messiah from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum.

So, what is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given.

So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.

For we are God's co-workers. You are God's field, God's building.

But by God's grace I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not ineffective. However, I worked more than any of them, yet not I, but God's grace that was with me.

Working together with Him, we also appeal to you: "Don't receive God's grace in vain."

I labor for this, striving with His strength that works powerfully in me.

For he was one of our number and was allotted a share in this ministry."

But I count my life of no value to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God's grace.

The signs of an apostle were performed among you in all endurance-- not only signs but also wonders and miracles.
