Acts 10:43-48

⁴³All of the prophets who wrote about the Messiah long ago told people about him. They wrote that if people believe in the Messiah MTY, God would forgive them for their sins, because of what the Messiah would do for them.”

⁴⁴While Peter was still speaking those words, suddenly the Holy Spirit ◄came down on/began to control► all those non-Jewish people who were listening to the message.

⁴⁵The Jewish believers who had come with Peter from Joppa were amazed that God had generously given the Holy Spirit to the non-Jewish people, too.

⁴⁶The Jewish believers knew that God had done that because they were hearing those people speaking languages MTY that they had not learned and telling how great God is.

⁴⁷Then Peter said to the other Jewish believers who were there, “ God has given them the Holy Spirit just like he gave him to us Jewish believers, so ◄surely all of you would agree that we(exc) should baptize these people!/would any of you forbid that these people should be baptized?► RHQ”

⁴⁸Then Peter told those non-Jewish people that they should be baptized to show that they had believed MTY in the Lord Jesus Christ. So they baptized all of them. After they were baptized, they requested that Peter stay with them several days. So Peter and the other Jewish believers did that.
