Acts 10:39-48 ▼

39 And we are witnesses in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they even slew, hanging him on the wood.

40 God raised him on the third day, and gave him to be made manifest;

41 not to all the people, but to the witnesses having been chosen of God, to us, who ate and drank along with him after He arose from the dead:

42 and He commanded us to preach to the people, and to witness that He is the One ordained of God the Judge of the living and the dead.

43 And to Him give all the prophets witness, that every one believing on him receives the remission of sins through His name.

44 Peter yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all those hearing the word.

45 And the faithful ones who were of the circumcision, so many as came along with Peter, were astonished, because the gift of the Holy Ghost was poured out on the Gentiles also;

46 for they were hearing them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.

47 Then Peter responded, Whether is any one able to forbid the water, that these shall not be baptized, whosoever received the Holy Ghost as we indeed?

48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to tarry some days.
