Acts 10:32-47

³²Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, whose surname is Peter. He is staying as a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, beside the sea. When he arrives, he will speak to you.’

³³Therefore immediately I sent to you, and you have done well to come. Now then we are all present before God, to hear all the things having been commanded you by God.”

³⁴And Peter, opening his mouth, said: “In truth I comprehend that God is not One to show partiality.

³⁵But in every nation, he that fears Him and works righteousness is acceptable to Him.

³⁶The word which God sent to the sons of Israel, preaching the good news of peace through Jesus Christ—He being Lord of all—

³⁷you know, the word coming to be throughout all of Judea, and beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John proclaimed,

³⁸Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all those who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.

³⁹And we are witnesses of all things which He did, both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they also killed by hanging on a tree.

⁴⁰This Jesus God raised up on the third day, and caused Him to be seen,

⁴¹not to all the people, but to witnesses, who having been chosen beforehand by God, even to us, who ate and drank together with Him after He arose from the dead.

⁴²And He commanded us to proclaim to the people, and to testify solemnly that He is the One having been appointed by God to be Judge of the living and the dead.

⁴³To Him all the prophets bear witness, that through His name, everyone believing in Him shall receive forgiveness of sins.”

⁴⁴While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word.

⁴⁵And those of the circumcision who believed were astounded, as many as had come with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.

⁴⁶For they heard them speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

⁴⁷“Surely no one can forbid water, can he, that these should not be baptized who received the Holy Spirit just as we have?”
