Acts 11:13-18

¹³he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and how the angel had said to him — ‘Send to Jaffa and fetch the Simon, who is also known as Peter;

¹⁴for he will tell you truths, which will prove the means of salvation to you and all your household.’

¹⁵I had but just begun to speak,” continued Peter, “when the Holy Spirit fell on them, exactly as on us at the first;

¹⁶and I recalled the saying of the Master — ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

¹⁷Since then, God had given them the very same gift as he gave us when we became believers in Jesus Christ the Master — who was I that I could thwart God?”

¹⁸On hearing this statement, they said no more, but broke out into praise of God. “So even to the Gentiles,” they exclaimed, “God has granted the repentance which leads to life!”
