32 Send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodges in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea; who, when he comes, will speak to you.
33 Therefore, I immediately sent to you; and you have done well in coming. Now, there fore, we are all here present before God, to hear all things that are given in charge to you by God.
34 And Peter opened his mouth, and said: In truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons;
35 but, in every nation, he that fears him and works righteousness is accepted by him.
36 The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all,)
37 that word, you know, which was published through the whole of Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the immersion that John preached;
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit, and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.
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.
