Jesus

He talked and debated with the Greek-speaking Jews, but they began making attempts to kill him.

Then the Messianic community throughout Y’hudah, the Galil and Shomron enjoyed peace and was built up. They lived in the fear of the Lord, with the counsel of the Ruach HaKodesh; and their numbers kept multiplying.

Kefa said to him, “Aeneas! Yeshua the Messiah is healing you! Get up, and make your bed!”

Everyone living in Lud and the Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord. Now in Yafo there was a talmidah named Tavita

This became known all over Yafo, and many people put their trust in the Lord.

Cornelius stared at the angel, terrified. “What is it, sir?” he asked. “Your prayers,” replied the angel, “and your acts of charity have gone up into God’s presence, so that he has you on his mind.

But Kefa said, “No, sir! Absolutely not! I have never eaten food that was unclean or treif.”

but that whoever fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him, no matter what people he belongs to.

“Here is the message that he sent to the sons of Isra’el announcing shalom through Yeshua the Messiah, who is Lord of everything.

how God anointed Yeshua from Natzeret with the Ruach HaKodesh and with power; how Yeshua went about doing good and healing all the people oppressed by the Adversary, because God was with him.

“As for us, we are witnesses of everything he did, both in the Judean countryside and in Yerushalayim. They did away with him by hanging him on a stake;

but God raised him up on the third day and let him be seen,

not by all the people, but by witnesses God had previously chosen, that is, by us, who ate and drank with him after he had risen again from the dead.

“Then he commanded us to proclaim and attest to the Jewish people that this man has been appointed by God to judge the living and the dead.

All the prophets bear witness to him, that everyone who puts his trust in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

And he ordered that they be immersed in the name of Yeshua the Messiah. Then they asked Kefa to stay on with them for a few days.

I said, ‘No, sir! Absolutely not! Nothing unclean or treif has ever entered my mouth!’

And I remembered that the Lord had said, ‘Yochanan used to immerse people in water, but you will be immersed in the Ruach HaKodesh.’

Therefore, if God gave them the same gift as he gave us after we had come to put our trust in the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who was I to stand in God’s way?”

The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number of people trusted and turned to the Lord.

On arriving and seeing for himself the grace of God at work, he was glad; and he encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with their whole hearts;

for he was a good man, full of the Ruach HaKodesh and trust.

Suddenly an angel of Adonai stood there, and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Kefa’s side and woke him. “Hurry! Get up!” he said; and the chains fell off his hands.

Then Kefa came to himself and said, “Now I know for sure that the Lord sent his angel to rescue me from Herod’s power and from everything the Judean people were hoping for.”
