The Holy Spirit Poured Out on the Gentiles
34 (A)And opening his mouth, Peter said:
“I most truly comprehend now that (B)God is not one to show partiality, 35 but (C)in every nation the one who [a](D)fears Him and does righteousness is welcome to Him. 36 As for the word which He sent to the sons of Israel, (E)proclaiming the good news of (F)peace through Jesus Christ—He is (G)Lord of all— 37 you yourselves know the thing which happened throughout all Judea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed. 38 [b]You know of (H)Jesus of Nazareth, how God (I)anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, [c](J)and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for (K)God was with Him. 39 And we are (L)witnesses of all the things He did both in the [d]land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also (M)put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree. 40 (N)God raised Him up on the third day and granted that He appear, 41 (O)not to all the people, but to (P)witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us (Q)who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. 42 And He (R)commanded us to [e]preach to the people, and solemnly to (S)bear witness that this is the One who has been (T)designated by God as (U)Judge of the living and the dead. 43 Of Him (V)all the prophets bear witness that through (W)His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”
44 While Peter was still speaking these things, (X)the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the word. 45 (Y)And all the [f]circumcised believers who came with Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been (Z)poured out on the Gentiles also. 46 For they were hearing them (AA)speaking with tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered, 47 “(AB)Can anyone refuse water for these to be baptized who (AC)have received the Holy Spirit just as we did?” 48 And he (AD)ordered them to be baptized (AE)in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for a few days.
