Acts 10:39-48 ▼

39 And we are witnesses of all that he did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew by hanging him on a tree.

40 Him God raised up the third day, and caused him to appear,

41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were be fore appointed by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him, after he rose from the dead.

42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that this is he who has been appointed by God as the judge of the living and the dead.

43 To him all the prophets bear testimony, that whoever believes on him shall receive remission of sins through his name.

44 While Peter was speaking these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all that heard the word.

45 And the believers that were of the circumcision, as many as had come with Peter, were astonished, because on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit:

46 for they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God. Then Peter answered:

47 Can any one for bid the water, that these should not be immersed, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?

48 And he commanded them to be immersed in the name of the Lord. Then they besought him to remain some days.
