⁸ So God, ^(A)who knows the heart, ^[a]acknowledged them by ^(B)giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us,

²⁴ And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, ^(A)who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen

⁴⁷ “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit ^(A)just as we have?”

²³ I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who ^(A)searches^[a] the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.

^13 (A)And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are ^(B)naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

³ Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, ^(A)who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and ^(B)wonders to be done by their hands.

⁴ And ^(A)they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began ^(B)to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

^4 (A)God also bearing witness ^(B)both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and ^(C)gifts^[a] of the Holy Spirit, ^(D)according to His own will?

¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, ^(A)as upon us at the beginning. ¹⁶ Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ^(B)‘John indeed baptized with water, but ^(C)you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ ^17 (D)If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, ^(E)who was I that I could withstand God?”
