La visión de Cornelio

10 Había en Cesarea(A) un hombre llamado Cornelio, centurión de la cohorte[a] llamada la Italiana(B), 2 piadoso y temeroso de Dios(C) con toda su casa, que daba muchas limosnas al pueblo judío(D) y oraba a Dios continuamente. 3 Como a la hora novena[b](E) del día, vio claramente en una visión(F) a un ángel de Dios(G) que entraba a donde él estaba y le decía: Cornelio. 4 Mirándolo fijamente(H) y atemorizado, Cornelio dijo: ¿Qué quieres[c], Señor? Y él le dijo: Tus oraciones y limosnas[d] han ascendido(I) como memorial delante de Dios(J). 5 Despacha ahora algunos hombres a Jope(K), y manda traer a un hombre llamado Simón, que también se llama Pedro. 6 Este se hospeda con un curtidor llamado Simón(L), cuya casa está junto al mar[e]. 7 Y después que el ángel que le hablaba se había ido, Cornelio llamó a dos de los criados[f] y a un soldado piadoso de los que constantemente le servían, 8 y después de explicarles todo, los envió a Jope(M).

La visión de Pedro

9 Al día siguiente, mientras ellos iban por el camino y se acercaban a la ciudad, Pedro(N) subió a la azotea(O) a orar como a la hora sexta[g](P). 10 Tuvo hambre y deseaba comer; pero mientras le preparaban algo de comer, le sobrevino un éxtasis(Q); 11 y vio* el cielo abierto(R) y un objeto[h] semejante a un gran lienzo que descendía, bajado a la tierra por las cuatro puntas; 12 había en él toda clase de cuadrúpedos y reptiles de la tierra, y aves del cielo. 13 Y oyó una voz[i]: Levántate, Pedro, mata[j] y come. 14 Mas Pedro dijo: De ninguna manera, Señor(S), porque yo jamás he comido nada impuro[k] o inmundo(T). 15 De nuevo, por segunda vez, llegó a él una voz: Lo que Dios ha limpiado(U), no lo llames tú impuro[l]. 16 Y esto sucedió tres veces, e inmediatamente el lienzo[m] fue recogido al cielo.

Los mensajeros de Cornelio

17 Mientras Pedro estaba perplejo pensando en lo que significaría la visión(V) que había visto, he aquí, los hombres que habían sido enviados por Cornelio(W), después de haber preguntado por la casa de Simón, aparecieron a la puerta; 18 y llamando, preguntaron si allí se hospedaba Simón, el que también se llamaba Pedro. 19 Y mientras Pedro meditaba sobre la visión(X), el Espíritu le dijo(Y): Mira, tres hombres te buscan. 20 Levántate, pues, desciende y no dudes(Z) en acompañarlos, porque yo los he enviado. 21 Pedro descendió a donde estaban los hombres, y les dijo: He aquí, yo soy el que buscáis; ¿cuál es la causa por la que habéis venido? 22 Y ellos dijeron: A Cornelio el centurión, un hombre justo y temeroso de Dios, y que es muy estimado por toda la nación de los judíos(AA), le fue ordenado[n](AB) por un santo ángel(AC) que te hiciera venir a su casa para oír tus palabras(AD). 23 Entonces los invitó a entrar y los hospedó.

Al día siguiente se levantó y fue con ellos, y algunos de los hermanos(AE) de Jope(AF) lo acompañaron(AG).

Pedro en casa de Cornelio

24 Al otro día entró en Cesarea(AH). Cornelio los estaba esperando y había reunido a sus parientes y amigos íntimos. 25 Y sucedió que cuando Pedro iba a entrar, Cornelio salió a recibirlo, y postrándose a sus pies, lo adoró(AI). 26 Mas Pedro lo levantó, diciendo: Ponte de pie; yo también soy hombre(AJ). 27 Y conversando con él, entró y halló* mucha gente reunida(AK). 28 Y les dijo: Vosotros sabéis cuán ilícito es para un judío asociarse con un extranjero o visitarlo(AL), pero Dios me ha mostrado que a ningún hombre debo llamar impuro[o] o inmundo(AM); 29 por eso, cuando fui llamado, vine sin poner ninguna objeción. Pregunto, pues, ¿por qué causa me habéis enviado a llamar? 30 Y Cornelio dijo: A esta misma hora, hace cuatro días(AN), estaba yo orando en mi casa a la hora novena[p](AO); y he aquí, un hombre(AP) con vestiduras resplandecientes, se puso delante de mí, 31 y dijo*: «Cornelio, tu oración ha sido oída, y tus obras de caridad[q] han sido recordadas delante de Dios. 32 Envía, pues, a Jope, y haz llamar a Simón, que también se llama Pedro; él está hospedado en casa de Simón el curtidor, junto al mar[r](AQ)». 33 Por tanto, envié por ti al instante, y has hecho bien en venir. Ahora, pues, todos nosotros estamos aquí presentes delante de Dios, para oír todo lo que el Señor te ha mandado. 34 Entonces Pedro, abriendo la boca(AR), dijo:

Ciertamente ahora entiendo que Dios no hace acepción de personas(AS), 35 sino que en toda nación el que le teme[s] y hace lo justo[t](AT), le es acepto[u](AU). 36 El mensaje[v] que Él envió a[w] los hijos de Israel, predicando[x](AV) paz por medio de Jesucristo(AW), que Él es Señor de todos(AX); 37 vosotros mismos sabéis lo que ocurrió en toda Judea, comenzando desde Galilea, después del bautismo que Juan predicó. 38 Vosotros sabéis cómo Dios ungió(AY) a Jesús de Nazaret(AZ) con el Espíritu Santo y con poder, el cual anduvo haciendo bien y sanando a todos los oprimidos por el diablo(BA); porque Dios estaba con Él(BB). 39 Y nosotros somos testigos de todas las cosas(BC) que hizo en la tierra[y] de los judíos y en Jerusalén. Y también le dieron muerte, colgándole en una cruz[z](BD). 40 A este Dios le resucitó(BE) al tercer día e hizo que se manifestara[aa], 41 no a todo el pueblo(BF), sino a los testigos(BG) que fueron escogidos de antemano por Dios, es decir, a nosotros que comimos y bebimos con Él después que resucitó de los muertos(BH). 42 Y nos mandó(BI) predicar al pueblo, y testificar(BJ) con toda solemnidad que este Jesús[ab] es el que Dios ha designado(BK) como Juez de los vivos y de los muertos(BL). 43 De este dan testimonio todos los profetas(BM), de que por su nombre(BN), todo el que cree en Él recibe el perdón de los pecados.

Los gentiles reciben el Espíritu Santo

44 Mientras Pedro aún hablaba estas palabras, el Espíritu Santo cayó sobre todos los que escuchaban el mensaje[ac](BO). 45 Y todos los creyentes que eran de la circuncisión[ad], que habían venido con Pedro(BP), se quedaron asombrados, porque el don del Espíritu Santo había sido derramado(BQ) también sobre los gentiles, 46 pues les oían hablar en lenguas(BR) y exaltar a Dios. Entonces Pedro dijo[ae]: 47 ¿Puede acaso alguien negar el agua para que sean bautizados(BS) estos que han recibido el Espíritu Santo lo mismo que nosotros(BT)? 48 Y mandó que fueran bautizados(BU) en el nombre de Jesucristo(BV). Entonces le pidieron que se quedara con ellos unos días.

Faptele Apostolilor 10
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014

Sutaşul Corneliu

10 În Cezareea era un om cu numele Corneliu, sutaş din ceata de ostaşi numită „Italiana”. 2 Omul acesta era cucernic(A) şi temător(B) de Dumnezeu, împreună cu toată casa lui. El făcea multe milostenii norodului şi se ruga totdeauna lui Dumnezeu. 3 Pe la ceasul al nouălea din zi, a văzut(C) lămurit într-o vedenie pe un înger al lui Dumnezeu că a intrat la el şi i-a zis: „Cornelie!” 4 Corneliu s-a uitat ţintă la el, s-a înfricoşat şi a răspuns: „Ce este, Doamne?” Şi îngerul i-a zis: „Rugăciunile şi milosteniile tale s-au suit înaintea lui Dumnezeu, şi El Şi-a adus aminte de ele. 5 Trimite acum nişte oameni la Iope şi cheamă pe Simon, zis şi Petru. 6 El găzduieşte la un om numit Simon(D) Tăbăcarul, a cărui casă este lângă mare: acela(E) îţi va spune ce trebuie să faci.” 7 Cum a plecat îngerul care vorbise cu el, Corneliu a chemat două din slugile sale şi un ostaş cucernic, din aceia care-i slujeau în tot timpul, 8 şi, după ce le-a istorisit totul, i-a trimis la Iope.

Corneliu întors la Dumnezeu

9 A doua zi, când erau pe drum şi se apropiau de cetate, Petru s-a suit(F) să se roage pe acoperişul casei, pe la ceasul al şaselea. 10 L-a ajuns foamea şi a vrut să mănânce. Pe când îi pregăteau mâncarea, a căzut într-o răpire sufletească. 11 A(G) văzut cerul deschis şi un vas ca o faţă de masă mare, legată cu cele patru colţuri, coborându-se şi slobozindu-se în jos pe pământ. 12 În ea se aflau tot felul de dobitoace cu patru picioare şi târâtoare de pe pământ şi păsările cerului. 13 Şi un glas i-a zis: „Petre, scoală-te, taie şi mănâncă”. 14 „Nicidecum, Doamne”, a răspuns Petru. „Căci(H) niciodată n-am mâncat ceva spurcat sau necurat”. 15 Şi glasul i-a zis iarăşi a doua oară: „Ce(I) a curăţit Dumnezeu, să nu numeşti spurcat”. 16 Lucrul acesta s-a făcut de trei ori, şi îndată după aceea vasul a fost ridicat iarăşi la cer. 17 Pe când Petru nu ştia ce să creadă despre înţelesul vedeniei pe care o avusese, iată că oamenii trimişi de Corneliu, întrebând de casa lui Simon, au stat la poartă 18 şi au întrebat cu glas tare dacă Simon, zis şi Petru, găzduieşte acolo. 19 Şi pe când se gândea Petru la vedenia aceea, Duhul(J) i-a zis: „Iată că te caută trei oameni; 20 scoală-te(K), pogoară-te şi du-te cu ei fără şovăire, căci Eu i-am trimis”. 21 Petru deci s-a pogorât şi a zis oamenilor acelora: „Eu sunt acela pe care-l căutaţi. Ce pricină vă aduce?” 22 Ei au răspuns: „Sutaşul Corneliu(L), om drept şi temător de Dumnezeu şi vorbit de bine(M) de tot neamul iudeilor, a fost înştiinţat de Dumnezeu, printr-un înger sfânt, să te cheme în casa lui şi să audă cuvintele pe care i le vei spune”. 23 Petru deci i-a chemat înăuntru şi i-a găzduit. 24 A doua zi, s-a sculat şi a plecat cu ei. L-au(N) însoţit şi câţiva fraţi din Iope. În cealaltă zi au ajuns la Cezareea. Corneliu îi aştepta cu rudele şi prietenii de aproape, pe care-i chemase. 25 Când era să intre Petru, Corneliu, care-i ieşise înainte, s-a aruncat la picioarele lui şi i s-a închinat. 26 Dar Petru l-a ridicat şi a zis: „Scoală-te(O), şi eu sunt om!” 27 Şi vorbind cu el, a intrat în casă şi a găsit adunaţi pe mulţi. 28 „Ştiţi”, le-a zis el, „că(P) nu este îngăduit de Lege unui iudeu să se însoţească împreună cu unul de alt neam sau să vină la el, dar Dumnezeu(Q) mi-a arătat să nu numesc pe niciun om spurcat sau necurat. 29 De aceea am venit fără cârtire când m-aţi chemat. Vă întreb dar: Cu ce gând aţi trimis după mine?” 30 Corneliu a răspuns: „Acum patru zile, chiar în clipa aceasta, mă rugam în casa mea la ceasul al nouălea şi iată că a stat înaintea mea un(R) om cu(S) o haină strălucitoare 31 şi a zis: ‘Cornelie, rugăciunea(T) ta a fost ascultată şi(U) Dumnezeu Şi-a adus aminte de milosteniile tale. 32 Trimite dar la Iope şi cheamă pe Simon, zis şi Petru; el găzduieşte în casa lui Simon Tăbăcarul, lângă mare. Când va veni el, îţi va vorbi.’ 33 Am trimis îndată la tine, şi bine ai făcut că ai venit. Acum dar, toţi suntem aici înaintea lui Dumnezeu, ca să ascultăm tot ce ţi-a poruncit Domnul să ne spui.” 34 Atunci, Petru a început să vorbească şi a zis: „În(V) adevăr, văd că Dumnezeu nu este părtinitor, 35 ci că în(W) orice neam, cine se teme de El şi lucrează neprihănire este primit de El. 36 El a trimis Cuvântul Său fiilor lui Israel şi le-a vestit(X) Evanghelia păcii, prin Isus Hristos, care este(Y) Domnul tuturor. 37 Ştiţi vorba făcută prin toată Iudeea, începând(Z) din Galileea, în urma botezului propovăduit de Ioan; 38 cum Dumnezeu(AA) a uns cu Duhul Sfânt şi cu putere pe Isus din Nazaret, care umbla din loc în loc, făcea bine şi vindeca pe toţi cei ce erau apăsaţi de diavolul, căci(AB) Dumnezeu era cu El. 39 Noi(AC) suntem martori a tot ce a făcut El în ţara iudeilor şi în Ierusalim. Ei L-au(AD) omorât, atârnându-L pe lemn. 40 Dar Dumnezeu L-a înviat(AE) a treia zi şi a îngăduit să Se arate, 41 nu(AF) la tot norodul, ci nouă, martorilor aleşi mai dinainte de Dumnezeu, nouă, care(AG) am mâncat şi am băut împreună cu El după ce a înviat din morţi. 42 Isus ne-a(AH) poruncit să propovăduim norodului şi să mărturisim că(AI) El a fost rânduit de Dumnezeu Judecătorul celor vii(AJ) şi al celor morţi. 43 Toţi prorocii mărturisesc despre El(AK) că oricine(AL) crede în El capătă, prin Numele Lui, iertarea păcatelor.” 44 Pe când rostea Petru cuvintele acestea, S-a(AM) pogorât Duhul Sfânt peste toţi cei ce ascultau Cuvântul. 45 Toţi credincioşii tăiaţi împrejur care veniseră cu Petru au rămas uimiţi(AN) când au văzut că(AO) darul Duhului Sfânt s-a vărsat şi peste neamuri. 46 Căci îi auzeau vorbind în limbi şi mărind pe Dumnezeu. Atunci, Petru a zis: 47 „Se poate opri apa ca să nu fie botezaţi aceştia, care au primit Duhul Sfânt ca(AP) şi noi?” 48 Şi a(AQ) poruncit să fie botezaţi în(AR) Numele Domnului Isus Hristos. Atunci, l-au rugat să mai rămână câteva zile la ei.

Cornelius Calls for Peter

10 At Caesarea(A) there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. 2 He and all his family were devout and God-fearing;(B) he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. 3 One day at about three in the afternoon(C) he had a vision.(D) He distinctly saw an angel(E) of God, who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”

4 Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked.

The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering(F) before God.(G) 5 Now send men to Joppa(H) to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6 He is staying with Simon the tanner,(I) whose house is by the sea.”

7 When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier who was one of his attendants. 8 He told them everything that had happened and sent them to Joppa.(J)

Peter’s Vision(K)

9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof(L) to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.(M) 11 He saw heaven opened(N) and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”

14 “Surely not, Lord!”(O) Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”(P)

15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”(Q)

16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.

17 While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision,(R) the men sent by Cornelius(S) found out where Simon’s house was and stopped at the gate. 18 They called out, asking if Simon who was known as Peter was staying there.

19 While Peter was still thinking about the vision,(T) the Spirit said(U) to him, “Simon, three[a] men are looking for you. 20 So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.”(V)

21 Peter went down and said to the men, “I’m the one you’re looking for. Why have you come?”

22 The men replied, “We have come from Cornelius the centurion. He is a righteous and God-fearing man,(W) who is respected by all the Jewish people. A holy angel told him to ask you to come to his house so that he could hear what you have to say.”(X) 23 Then Peter invited the men into the house to be his guests.

Peter at Cornelius’s House

The next day Peter started out with them, and some of the believers(Y) from Joppa went along.(Z) 24 The following day he arrived in Caesarea.(AA) Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence. 26 But Peter made him get up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”(AB)

27 While talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people.(AC) 28 He said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile.(AD) But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean.(AE) 29 So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?”

30 Cornelius answered: “Three days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes(AF) stood before me 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and remembered your gifts to the poor. 32 Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, who lives by the sea.’ 33 So I sent for you immediately, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.”

34 Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism(AG) 35 but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.(AH) 36 You know the message(AI) God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news(AJ) of peace(AK) through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.(AL) 37 You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached— 38 how God anointed(AM) Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing(AN) all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.(AO)

39 “We are witnesses(AP) of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross,(AQ) 40 but God raised him from the dead(AR) on the third day and caused him to be seen. 41 He was not seen by all the people,(AS) but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate(AT) and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 He commanded us to preach to the people(AU) and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead.(AV) 43 All the prophets testify about him(AW) that everyone(AX) who believes(AY) in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”(AZ)

44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on(BA) all who heard the message. 45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter(BB) were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out(BC) even on Gentiles.(BD) 46 For they heard them speaking in tongues[b](BE) and praising God.

Then Peter said, 47 “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water.(BF) They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.”(BG) 48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.(BH) Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.

Acts 10
King James Version

10 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,

2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.

3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.

4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.

5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:

6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.

7 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;

8 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.

9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:

10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,

18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.

20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.

21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?

22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.

23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and near friends.

25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.

26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

29 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?

30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.

33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.

34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;

41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
