Acts 10:35-48

New American Standard Bible

³⁵but ^(A)in every nation the one who ^[a]^(B)fears Him and ^[b]does what is right is acceptable to Him. ³⁶The word which He sent to the sons of Israel, ^(C)preaching ^[c]^(D)peace through Jesus Christ (He is ^(E)Lord of all)— ³⁷you yourselves know the thing that happened throughout Judea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed. ³⁸^[d]You know of ^(F)Jesus of Nazareth, how God ^(G)anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, ^[e]^(H)and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for ^(I)God was with Him. ³⁹We are ^(J)witnesses of all the things that He did both in the ^[f]country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also put Him to death by hanging Him on ^[g]^(K)a cross. ⁴⁰^(L)God raised Him up on the third day and granted that He ^[h]be revealed, ⁴¹^(M)not to all the people, but to ^(N)witnesses who had been chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us ^(O)who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. ⁴²And He ^(P)ordered us to ^[i]preach to the people, and to ^(Q)testify solemnly that this is the One who has been ^(R)appointed by God as ^(S)Judge of the living and the dead. ⁴³^(T)All the prophets testify of Him, that through ^(U)His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”

⁴⁴While Peter was still speaking these words, ^(V)the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the ^[j]message. ⁴⁵^(W)All the ^[k]Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had also been ^(X)poured out on the Gentiles. ⁴⁶For they were hearing them ^(Y)speaking with tongues and exalting God. Then Peter responded, ⁴⁷“^(Z)Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized, who ^(AA)have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?” ⁴⁸And he ^(AB)ordered them to be baptized ^(AC)in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.
