34 So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God ^rshows no partiality, 35 but in every nation anyone who ^sfears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. 36 As for the word that he sent to Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ (he is ^tLord of all), 37 you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, ^ubeginning from Galilee after ^vthe baptism that John proclaimed: 38 how God ^wanointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was ^xwith him. 39 And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a ^ytree, 40 but God raised him on the third day and made him to appear, 41 not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as ^zwitnesses, who ^aate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he ^bcommanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be ^cjudge of the living and the dead. 43 To him all the prophets ^dbear witness that ^eeveryone who ^fbelieves ^gin him ^hreceives forgiveness of sins ⁱthrough his ^jname.”

44 While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit ^kfell on all who heard the word. 45 And the believers from among the ^lcircumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out ^meven on the Gentiles. 46 For they were hearing them ⁿspeaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared, 47 ^o“Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit ^pjust as we have?” 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the ^qname of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.
