Whiston(i)
32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon whose sirname is Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea; who when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee, beseeching thee to come to us. But thou hastwell done that thou art come quickly. Now lo we are all here present before thee, desiring to hear from thee the things that are commanded thee of God.
34 But Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
36 For the word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ; he is Lord of all.
37 That you know, which was throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 Jesus of Nazareth; whom God anointed with the Holy Ghost, and with power: He went about doing good, and healing all that were brought into subjection by the devil: for God was with him.
39 And we [are] his witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; and they slew [him,] and hanged [him] on a tree:
40 Him God raised up the third day, and granted him to be made manifest:
41 Not to all the people, but to witnesses, chosen before of God, to us, who did eat and drink and converse with him after [he] arose from the dead forty days.
42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he who was ordained of God the judge of quick and dead.
43 To him witness all the prophets, that through his name whosoever believeth in him, shall receive remission of sins.
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them who heard the word.
45 And they of the circumcision who believed, were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the free gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speaking with other tongues, and magnifying God. But Peter said,
47 Can any one forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we?
48 Then he commanded them to be baptized, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then prayed they him to tarry with them certain days.
