Acts 11:17 in Context — Acts 11
15 Lorsque je me fus mis à parler, le Saint-Esprit descendit sur eux, comme sur nous au commencement.
16 Et je me souvins de cette parole du Seigneur: Jean a baptisé d’eau, mais vous,vous serez baptisés du Saint-Esprit.
17 Or, puisque Dieu leur a accordé le même don qu’à nous qui avons cru au Seigneur Jésus-Christ, pouvais-je, moi, m’opposer à Dieu?
18 Après avoir entendu cela, ils se calmèrent, et ils glorifièrent Dieu, en disant: Dieu a donc accordé la repentance aussi aux païens, afin qu’ils aient la vie.
19 Ceux qui avaient été dispersés par la persécution survenue à l’occasion d’Étienne allèrent jusqu’en Phénicie, dans l’île de Chypre, et à Antioche, annonçant la parole seulement aux Juifs.
