Acts 10:34-48

34And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that 1God is no respecter of persons, 35but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him. 36The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all things,) 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 2God 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 3God 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] 4God 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 5God, 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 6God [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 7God. Then Peter answered, 47Can any one forbid water that these should not be baptised, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also [did]? 48And he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they begged him to stay some days.
