MLV(i)
32 Therefore send to Joppa, and call to you Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he is lodged in the house of Simon, a tanner, beside the sea. When he comes; he will be speaking to you.
33 Therefore, promptly I sent for you, and having come, you did well. Therefore, now we are all here in God’s sight, to hear all things which have been commanded to you by God.
34 Now Peter opened his mouth and said, In truth, I comprehend that God is not one who shows-favoritism 35 but in every nation, he who fears him and is working righteousness, is acceptable to him. 36 The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming the good-news of peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of all). 37 You know, the word concerning Jesus which happened throughout the whole of Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the immersion that John preached. 38 Jesus who was from Nazareth; how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went through out the land working good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with him. 39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the region of the Jews and in Jerusalem–whom they also assassinated, having hung him upon a tree. 40 God raised this one up on the third day and gave him to become manifest, 41 not to all the people, but to witnesses that have been assigned before by God, even to us, who ate and drank together with him after he rose up from the dead. 42 And he commanded us to preach to the people and to thoroughly testify that he is the one who has been determined by God to be judge of the living and the dead. 43 To this one, all the prophets are testifying, that through his name everyone who believes in him will be receiving forgiveness of sins.
44 While Peter is still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. 45 And the believing ones from the circumcision, were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit has also been poured out upon the Gentiles. 46 For they were hearing them speak in foreign languages and extolling God.
Then Peter answered, 47 Is anyone able to forbid the water, that these people 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 requested him to remain some days.
