Christian Standard Bible

⁴² He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be the judge of the living and the dead.^{(A) 43} All the prophets testify^(B) about him that through his name^(C) everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins.”^(D)

Gentile Conversion and Baptism

⁴⁴ While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came down^(E) on all those who heard the message. ⁴⁵ The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were amazed because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.^{(F) 46} For they heard them speaking in tongues^[a] and declaring the greatness of God.

Then Peter responded, ⁴⁷ “Can anyone withhold water and prevent these people from being baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” ^{(G) 48} He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.^(H) Then they asked him to stay for a few days.
