Acts 10:32-48

Thomson(i) 32 send therefore to Joppa for Simon who is surnamed Peter. He lodgeth at the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea side. He will come and speak to thee. 33 Therefore I sent to thee immediately and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore we are all here in the presence of God, to hear all that God hath given thee in charge. 34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons; 35 but in every nation he who feareth him and worketh righteousness is acceptable to him. 36 According to the word which he sent to the children of Israel, when he published the glad tidings of peace by Jesus Christ, He is Lord of all. 37 You know the affair which is spread through all Judea, taking its rise from Galilee after the baptism which John proclaimed respecting Jesus; him from Nazareth 38 how God anointed him with a holy spirit and power. Him who went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him, 39 and we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; Him, whom they slew, suspending him on a cross 40 even him God raised up the third day, and granted him to become manifest, 41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were preappointed by God; to us who have eaten, and drunk with him after he arose from the dead. 42 And he commanded us to proclaim to the people and testify that he is the one determinately pointed out by God to be the judge of the living and the dead. 43 To him all the prophets bear witness, that every one who believeth in him, shall receive remission of sins by his name. 44 While Peter was yet speaking these words the holy spirit fell on all them who heard this word. 45 Whereupon all the circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the holy spirit was poured out upon the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speaking in divers languages and magnifying God. 47 Then Peter addressed them saying, Can any one on any account forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the holy spirit in the same manner as even we did? 48 So he ordered them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they intreated him to stay some days.
