Deeds (Act) of Apostles 11:12-19

¹²And the Spirit said to me, that I should go with them, and doubt nothing. Yea, and these six brethren came with me, and we entered into the house of the man.

¹³And he told to us, how he saw an angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send thou into Joppa, and call Simon, that is named Peter,

¹⁴which shall speak to thee words, in which thou shalt be safe, and all thine house.

¹⁵And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as into us in the beginning.

¹⁶And I bethought on the word of the Lord, as he said, For John baptized in water, but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Ghost.

¹⁷Therefore if God gave to them the same grace, as to us that believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that might forbid the Lord, that he give not the Holy Ghost or that he should not give the Holy Ghost to them that believed in the name of Jesus Christ?

¹⁸When these things were heard, they held peace, and glorified God, and said, Therefore also to heathen men God hath given penance to life.

¹⁹And they that were scattered of the tribulation that was made under Stephen, walked forth to Phoenicia, and to Cyprus, and to Antioch, and spake the word to no man, but to Jews alone.
