34 And Peter having opened the month; said, of a truth I comprehend that God is no respecter of faces! 35 But in every nation he fearing him, and working justice, is acceptable to him. 36 The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, announcing good news, peace through Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.) 37 The word ye know, having been through the whole of Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the immersion which John preached; 38 Jesus from Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and power; who passed through doing good, and healing all oppressed by the devil; for God was with him. 39 And ye are witnesses of all which he did in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they killed, having hanged upon wood: 40 Him God raised the third day, and gave him to be manifest; 41 Not to all people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after his rising from the dead. 42 And he enjoined us to proclaim to the people, and to testify that this is he appointed by God, Judge of the living and the dead. 43 To him all the prophets testify, for all believing on him to receive remission of sins through his name. 44 Peter yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all hearing the word. 45 And believers of the circumcision were affected in mind, as many as came with Peter, that also upon the nations the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out. 46 For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God. Then answered Peter, 47 Much less can any hinder water, for these not to be immersed, who received the Holy Spirit as also we? 48 And he commanded them to be immersed in the name of the Lord. Then asked they him to remain certain days. Acts 10:34-48, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
