Acts 10:29-45

²⁹For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me?

³⁰And Cornelius said: Four days ago, unto this hour, I was praying in my house, at the ninth hour, and behold a man stood before me in white apparel, and said:

³¹Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

³²Send therefore to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.

³³Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore all we are present in thy sight, to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord.

³⁴And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive, that God is not a respecter of persons.

³⁵But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him.

³⁶God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.)

³⁷You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,

³⁸Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

³⁹And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree.

⁴⁰Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,

⁴¹Not to all the people, but to witnesses preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he arose again from the dead;

⁴²And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God, to be judge of the living and of the dead.

⁴³To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.

⁴⁴While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word.

⁴⁵And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished, for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also.
