WPNT(i)
45 Well the believers of the circumcision [Jews] who had come with Peter were astonished, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had also been poured out on the Gentiles,
46 in that they heard them speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter responded:
47 “Surely no one can forbid the water, can he, that these should not be baptized who received the Holy Spirit just like we did?”
48 So he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they asked him to stay a few days.
11 1 Now the Apostles and the brothers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
2 When Peter went up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision party started contending with him,
3 saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
4 So Peter began by explaining it to them in order, saying:
5 “I was in the town of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain object like a great sheet coming down out of the sky, being lowered by its four corners; and it came to me.
6 Upon peering into it I observed and distinguished the quadrupeds of the earth—both the wild animals and the reptiles—and the birds of the sky.
7 Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!’
8 So I said, ‘No way, Lord! Never has anything common or unclean entered my mouth!’
9 But the voice answered me, a second time, from heaven, ‘Things that God has made clean you must not call “common”.’
10 Well this was done three times, and it was all pulled back up into the sky.
11 At that very moment three men stopped in front of the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
12 The Spirit told me to go with them, doubting nothing. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s house.
13 He then related to us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter,
14 who will speak words to you by which you and all your household will be saved.’
15 Well as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as on us at the beginning.
16 I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you will be baptized with Holy Spirit’.
17 So if God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed upon the Lord Jesus, who was I to be able to withstand God?”
18 Upon hearing these things they acquiesced and started glorifying God, saying, “So then, God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance into life!”
