Acts 10:37-47

³⁷ye know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached —

³⁸Jesus who was of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power; who went through all quarters doing good, and healing all that were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

³⁹We also are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew, having hanged him on a cross.

⁴⁰This man God raised up the third day and gave him to be openly seen,

⁴¹not of all the people, but of witnesses who were chosen before of God, us who have eaten and drunk with him after he arose from among the dead.

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

⁴³To him all the prophets bear witness that every one that believes on him will receive through his name remission of sins.

⁴⁴While Peter was yet speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were hearing the word.

⁴⁵And the faithful of the circumcision were astonished, as many as came with Peter, that upon the nations also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out:

⁴⁶for they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

⁴⁷Can any one forbid water that these should not be baptised, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also did?
