Acts 10:32-48

Murdock(i) 32 But send to the city of Joppa, and bring Simon who is called Cephas: lo, he lodgeth in the house of Simon the tanner, which is by the side of the sea. And he will come and converse with thee. 33 And immediately I sent to thee; and thou hast done well to come: and lo, we are all of us before thee, and desirous to hear whatever is commanded thee from God. 34 And Simon opened his mouth, and said: Truly I discover that God is no respecter of persons. 35 but, among all the nations, he who feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable with him. 36 For this is the word, which he sent to the sons of Israel, announcing to them peace and rest by Jesus Messiah, He is Lord of all; 37 and ye also know the word, which was in all Judaea, which commenced from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached, 38 concerning Jesus, who was of Nazareth, whom God anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power. And he it was, who went about and healed those that were suffering from evil, because God was with him. 39 And we are his witnesses, as to whatever he did in all the region of Judaea and in Jerusalem. This same person the Jews hanged on a tree, and slew him. 40 And him did God raise up, on the third day; and caused him to be seen with naked eyes; 41 not indeed by all the people, but by us, who were chosen of God to be his witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after his resurrection from the dead. 42 And he commanded us to proclaim and testify to the people, that he is appointed of God to be judge of the living and of the dead. 43 And of him all the prophets testify, that whoever believeth in his name, will receive remission of sins. 44 And while Simon was uttering these things, the Holy Spirit overshadowed all them that were hearing the word. 45 And the circumcised brethren who came with him, were amazed and astonished, that the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speak with diverse tongues, and magnify God. 47 And Simon said: Can any one forbid water, that those should not be baptized, they who have received, lo, the Holy Spirit, as well as we? 48 Then he commanded them to be baptized in the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah. And they requested him to remain with them some days.
