\ 41 'You who ridicule me, you will certainly be astonished and will die when you see what I am doing today.
\q I am doing a work that you will not believe, even when it happens to you;
\q even if someone told you about it, you would not believe it.
\v 18 When they had heard what Peter said, they stopped speaking and no longer argued with him. Then they praised God, saying, "God now gives even the Gentiles the ability to turn from their sinful behavior and receive eternal life."
\v 12 Inside the sheet were all kinds of four-legged animals and reptiles and birds of the air that the law of Moses said we must not eat.
\v 14 But Peter replied, "I cannot do this, Lord! I have never eaten anything that is unacceptable to you or that would make me unacceptable to you!"
