Acts 11:12-18

Twentieth_Century(i) 12 The Spirit told me to go with them without hesitation. These six Brothers also went with me. And, when we came into the man's house, 13 He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and how the angel had said to him--'Send to Jaffa and fetch the Simon, who is also known as Peter; 14 For he will tell you truths, which will prove the means of Salvation to you and all your household.' 15 I had but just begun to speak," continued Peter, "when the Holy Spirit fell on them, exactly as on us at the first; 16 And I recalled the saying of the Master-- 'John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.' 17 Since then, God had given them the very same gift as he gave us when we became believers in Jesus Christ the Master--who was I that I could thwart God?" 18 On hearing this statement, they said no more, but broke out into praise of God. "So even to the Gentiles," they exclaimed, "God has granted the repentance which leads to Life!"
