Acts 10:39-48 ▼

39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the region of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they killed suspending him on a tree:

40 him God raised up the third day, and ordained that he should be visibly manifested;

41 not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he was arisen from the dead.

42 And hath commanded us to proclaim to the people, and to bear our testimony that this is the person who is ordained of God the Judge of the living and the dead.

43 To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one who believeth in him, shall receive remission of sins.

44 While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all who heard the discourse.

45 And they of the circumcision who were believers, as many as came with Peter, were amazed, because even on the Gentiles the gift of the holy Ghost was poured out.

46 For they heard them speaking in different languages, and magnifying God. Then Peter addressed them,

47 Can any one forbid the water for baptising these persons, who have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

48 So he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they entreated him to tarry there some days.
