Acts 10:45-11:18

Godbey(i) 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. 11 1 But the apostles and brethren being throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also received the word of God. 2 And when Peter went tip to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision interviewed him, say 3 that, You went in unto men having uncircumcision, and ate with them. 4 And Peter beginning expounded unto them consecutively, saying, 5 I was praying in the city Joppa: and I saw a vision in an ecstasy, A certain vessel, like a great sheet, descending from the heaven, sitting down by four rope ends; and came even unto me: 6 into which looking, I was investigating, and I saw quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and the birds of the heaven. 7 And I also heard a voice saying to me, Arising, Peter; slay and eat. 8 And I said, By no means, Lord: because nothing unconsecrated or unclean has ever entered into my mouth. 9 And a voice a second time was heard from heaven, Whatsoever things God has cleansed, consider thou not unconsecrated. 10 And this took place three times: and all things were again taken up into the heaven. 11 And, behold, immediately three men were standing at the house in which we were, having been sent to me from Cornelius. 12 And the Spirit said to me, to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brethren went along with me, and we entered into the house of the man. 13 And he proclaimed to us how he saw an angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is called Peter; 14 who will speak words to you, by which you and your whole family may be saved. 15 And when I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. 16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, as He said, John indeed baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. 17 Since then God gave unto them the equal gift, as also unto us, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ; who was I, to be able to resist God? 18 And hearing these things, they acquiesced, and glorified God, saying, Then God has also given unto the Gentiles repentance unto life.
