Gentiles Receive the Holy Spirit
44 While Peter was still saying this, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word. 45 And the believers from among the circumcised who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. 46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared, 47 “Can any one forbid water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.

The Holy Spirit Falls on the Gentiles
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, (A)the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. 45 (B)And [a]those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, (C)because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.
Then Peter answered, 47 “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit (D)just as we have?” 48 (E)And he commanded them to be baptized (F)in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days.
