Acts 11:12-18

12The Spirit told me to accompany them without hesitation. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s house.

13He informed us how he had seen an angel standing in his house and saying, ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter,

14who will speak a message to you by which you and your entire household will be saved.’

15Then as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as he did on us at the beginning.

16And I remembered the word of the Lord, as he used to say, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

17Therefore if God gave them the same gift as he also gave us after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to hinder God?”

18When they heard this, they ceased their objections and praised God, saying, “So then, God has granted the repentance that leads to life even to the Gentiles.”
