32 Send to Joppa and call for Simon who is surnamed Peter. He is a guest in the house of Simon a tanner near the sea'
33 Immediately I sent to you and you have done well in coming. Now here we all are in God's presence to hear all that the Lord has commanded you."
34 Peter opened his mouth and said, "Truly I understand that God is not partial,
35 but in every nation whoever reverences him and lives righteously is acceptable to him.
36 As to the message which he sent to the children of Israel telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ — who is Lord of all —
37 you know the story that spread through all Judaea. It began in Galilee after the baptism which John proclaimed.
38 You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were harassed by the Devil, for God was with him.
39 We are witnesses of all that he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They hung him on a cross and so killed him.
40 But God raised him up on the third day and granted that he should become visible,
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses previously chosen by God, namely, to us who ate and drank with him after his resurrection from the dead.
42 God commanded us to proclaim to the people and to testify that he is the divinely appointed Judge of the living and the dead.
43 All of the prophets testify to this, that every one who believes in him obtains forgiveness of sins through his name."
44 While Peter was speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to his message.
45 All the believers who were of the circumcision who had come along with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Gentiles,
46 for they heard them speaking with tongues and glorifying God. Then Peter said,
47 "Can any one forbid water for the baptism of these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did?"
48 And he directed that they should be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain there a few days.
