MNT(i)
33 "So I sent for you without delay, and you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to listen to what the Lord has commanded you to speak."
34 Then Peter began to speak. "Of a truth I begin to see quite plainly that God is no respecter of persons;
35 "but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
36 "You cannot but know the message which he sent to the descendants of Israel, when he preached the gospel of peace by Jesus Christ who is Lord of all;
37 "you know the message spread throughout all Judea, beginning in Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 "how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how he went about everywhere doing good, and curing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.
39 "And we were witnesses of all that he did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him, hanging him on a tree.
40 "But him God raised up on the third day, and permitted him to be made manifest,
41 "not to all the people, but to witnesses—men previously chosen by God—that is, to us, who ate and drank with him after he had risen from the dead;
42 "when he charged us to preach to the people, and to testify that this was he whom God ordained to be the judge of the living and of the dead.
43 "To him all the prophets bear witness, testifying that through his name every one that believes on him will receive remission of sins."
