Acts 10:44-48
New American Standard Bible
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, (A)the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the [a]message. 45 (B)All the [b]Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had also been (C)poured out on the Gentiles. 46 For they were hearing them (D)speaking with tongues and exalting God. Then Peter responded, 47 “(E)Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized, who (F)have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?” 48 And he (G)ordered them to be baptized (H)in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.

Gentiles Receive the Holy Spirit
44 While Peter was still making this statement, the Holy Spirit fell on all the people who were listening to his message. 45 Then the circumcised believers who had come with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the gentiles, too, 46 because they heard them speaking in foreign languages[a] and praising God. Then Peter said, 47 “No one can stop us from using water to baptize these people who have received the Holy Spirit in the same way that we did, can they?”[b] 48 So Peter[c] ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus the Messiah.[d] Then they asked him to stay there for several days.
