Acts 10:34-48
New American Standard Bible
Gentiles Hear Good News
34 (A)Opening his mouth, Peter said:
“I most certainly understand now that (B)God is not one to show partiality, 35 but (C)in every nation the one who [a](D)fears Him and [b]does what is right is acceptable to Him. 36 The word which He sent to the sons of Israel, (E)preaching [c](F)peace through Jesus Christ (He is (G)Lord of all)— 37 you yourselves know the thing that happened throughout Judea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed. 38 [d]You know of (H)Jesus of Nazareth, how God (I)anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, [e](J)and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for (K)God was with Him. 39 We are (L)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](M)a cross. 40 (N)God raised Him up on the third day and granted that He [h]be revealed, 41 (O)not to all the people, but to (P)witnesses who had been 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)ordered us to [i]preach to the people, and to (S)testify solemnly that this is the One who has been (T)appointed by God as (U)Judge of the living and the dead. 43 (V)All the prophets testify of Him, that through (W)His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, (X)the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the [j]message. 45 (Y)All the [k]Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had also been (Z)poured out on the Gentiles. 46 For they were hearing them (AA)speaking with tongues and exalting God. Then Peter responded, 47 “(AB)Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized, who (AC)have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?” 48 And he (AD)ordered them to be baptized (AE)in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.

New International Version
34 Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism(A) 35 but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.(B) 36 You know the message(C) God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news(D) of peace(E) through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.(F) 37 You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached— 38 how God anointed(G) Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing(H) all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.(I)
39 “We are witnesses(J) of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross,(K) 40 but God raised him from the dead(L) on the third day and caused him to be seen. 41 He was not seen by all the people,(M) but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate(N) and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 He commanded us to preach to the people(O) and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead.(P) 43 All the prophets testify about him(Q) that everyone(R) who believes(S) in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”(T)
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on(U) all who heard the message. 45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter(V) were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out(W) even on Gentiles.(X) 46 For they heard them speaking in tongues[a](Y) and praising God.
Then Peter said, 47 “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water.(Z) They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.”(AA) 48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.(AB) Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.
