Acts 10:32-48

Geneva(i) 32 Send therefore to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter (he is lodged in the house of Simon a Tanner by the sea side) who when he commeth, shall speake vnto thee. 33 Then sent I for thee immediately, and thou hast well done to come. Nowe therefore are we all here present before God, to heare all things that are commanded thee of God. 34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and sayd, Of a trueth I perceiue, that God is no accepter of persons. 35 But in euery nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousnesse, is accepted with him. 36 Ye know the worde which God hath sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Iesus Christ, which is Lord of all: 37 Euen the worde which came through all Iudea, beginning in Galile, after the baptisme which Iohn preached. 38 To wit, howe God anointed Iesus of Nazareth with the holy Ghost, and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the deuill: for God was with him. 39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Iewes, and in Hierusalem, whom they slewe, hanging him on a tree. 40 Him God raysed vp the third day, and caused that he was shewed openly: 41 Not to all the people, but vnto the witnesses chosen before of God, euen to vs which did eate and drinke with him, after he arose from the dead. 42 And he commanded vs to preach vnto the people, and to testifie, that it is he that is ordained of God a iudge of quicke and dead. 43 To him also giue all the Prophets witnesse, that through his Name all that beleeue in him, shall receiue remission of sinnes. 44 While Peter yet spake these wordes, the holy Ghost fell on al them which heard the word. 45 So they of the circumcision which beleeued, were astonied, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was powred out the gift of the holy Ghost. 46 For they heard them speake with tongues, and magnifie God. Then answered Peter, 47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which haue receiued the holy Ghost, as well as we? 48 So he commanded them to be baptized in the Name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tary certaine dayes.
