Maori Bible
9 Ko Haora ia kei te kupukupu tonu i te whakawehi, i te mate mo nga akonga a te Ariki, a haere ana ki te tohunga nui,
2 Kei te tono pukapuka i a ia ki nga whakaminenga i Ramahiku, ina kitea e ia tetahi no te huarahi, ahakoa tane, wahine ranei, kia mauria hereheretia mai e ia ki Hiruharama.
3 Na, i a ia e haere ana, ka whakatata ia ki Ramahiku; na, ohorere ana te whitinga mai ki a ia, huri noa, o tetahi marama no te rangi:
4 A hinga ana ia ki te whenua, ka rongo ake i tetahi reo e mea ana ki a ia, E Haora, e Haora, he aha tau e whakatoi nei i ahau?
5 Ano ra ko ia, Ko wai koe, e te Ariki? Ka mea ia, Ko Ihu ahau, e whakatoia nei e koe: ehara tau, te whana ki nga koikoi.
6 Na wiri ana ia, ihiihi ana, ka mea, E te Ariki, kia aha ahau? Ano ra ko te Ariki ki a ia, Whakatika, tomo atu ki te pa, a ka korerotia ki a koe tau e mea ai.
7 Na, ko nga tangata i haere tahi i a ia, tu reokore ana, rongo kau ana ki te reo, kahore ia i kite tangata.
8 Na ka whakatika ake a Haora i te whenua, a, i te tuwheratanga o ona kanohi, kihai rawa ia i kite aha: na arahina a ringatia ana ia e ratou, mauria ana ia ki Ramahiku.
9 A e toru ona ra e kore ana e kite, kihai hoki i kai, kihai i inu.
10 Na i Ramahiku tetahi akonga, ko Anania te ingoa; ka mea te Ariki ki a ia, he kite, E Anania. Ka mea tera, Tenei ahau, e te Ariki.
11 Ano ra ko te Ariki ki a ia, Whakatika, haere ki te ara e kiia nei ko Torotika, ka ui te whare o Hura mo tetahi ko Haora te ingoa, no Tarahu: na, kei te inoi ia.
12 A kua kite ia i tetahi tangata, ko Anania te ingoa, e tomo mai ana, e whakapa ana i ona ringa ki a ia, kia kite ai ia.
13 Otira ka whakahoki a Anania, E te Ariki, he tokomaha aku i rongo ai mo tenei tangata, ki te nui o te kino i mea ai ia ki tau hunga tapu i Hiruharama:
14 A tenei ano kei a ia he mana na nga tohunga nui, kia herea te hunga katoa e karanga ana ki tou ingoa.
15 Heoi ka mea te Ariki ki a ia, haere: no te mea he kaupapa whiriwhiri ia naku, hei mau i toku ingoa ki te aroaro o nga Tauiwi, o nga kingi, o nga tama hoki a Iharaira:
16 Ka whakakitea hoki e ahau ki a ia te nui o nga mea e mamae ai ia mo toku ingoa.
17 Na haere ana a Anania, tomo ana ki roto ki te whare; ka whakapa i ona ringa ki a ia, ka mea, E toku teina, e Haora, na te Ariki, na Ihu, i puta ra ki a koe i te ara i haere mai na koe, nana ahau i tono mai, kia kite ai koe, a kia ki ai hoki i te Wairua Tapu.
18 Na marere tonu iho etahi mea, ano he unahi, i ona kanohi, a kite ana ia, ka whakatika, ka iriiria.
19 Na ka kai ia, ka whai kaha. Na noho ana a Haora ki nga akonga i Ramahiku mo etahi ra.
20 A reira tonu kauwhautia ana e ia a te Karaiti i roto i nga whare karakia, ko te Tama ia a te Atua.
21 A miharo ana te hunga katoa i rongo, ka mea, Ehara ianei tenei i te kaitukino o te hunga i karanga ki tenei ingoa i Hiruharama? a, ko te mea ano tenei i haere mai ai ia, kia herea ratou, kia arahina ki nga tohunga nui?
22 Ko Haora ia ka nui haere ke atu tona kaha, a whakapororarutia ana e ia nga Hurai e noho ana i Ramahiku, i a ia e whakakite ana ko te Karaiti tenei.
23 A, ka maha nga ra ka pahure, ka runanga nga Hurai kia whakamatea ia:
24 Heoi i matau a Haora ki ta ratou whakapapanga mona. A whanga ana ratou ki nga tatau i te ao, i te po, kia whakamatea ia:
25 Otiia i mau nga akonga ki a ia i te po, tukua iho ana e ratou ra te taiepa i roto i te kete.
26 A, no tona taenga mai ki Hiruharama, ka whai ia kia uru atu ia ki nga akonga; heoi wehi katoa ana ratou i a ia, kihai i whakapono he akonga ia.
27 Ko Panapa ia i tango i a ia, a mauria ana ia ki nga apotoro, korerotia ana e ia ki a ratou tona kitenga i te Ariki i te ara, tana korerotanga ki a ia, tona maia hoki ki te kauwhau i Ramahiku i runga i te ingoa o Ihu.
28 Na ka noho ia ki a ratou, haereere atu ana, haereere mai ana i Hiruharama,
29 Me te maia hoki ki te kauwhau i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki: a korero ana ia, totohe ana ki nga Hurai Kariki: otira ka whakangakau ratou kia whakamatea ia.
30 No te mohiotanga o nga tuakana, ka mauria ia e ratou ki raro ki Hiharia, a tonoa atu ana ia ki Tarahu.
31 Na ka whai tanga manawa te hahi, puta noa i Huria katoa, i Kariri, i Hamaria, a tupu ana; haere ana i runga i te wehi o te Ariki, i te whakamarie hoki a te Wairua Tapu, no ka whakatupu ake.
32 Na, i a Pita e haereere ana puta noa nga wahi katoa, ka tae iho hoki ia ki te hunga tapu e noho ana i Raira.
33 Ka kitea e ia i reira tetahi tangata ko Inia te ingoa, kua waru ona tau e takoto ana i runga i tona moenga; he pararutiki hoki ia.
34 Na ko te meatanga a Pita ki a ia, E Inia, ka ora koe i a Ihu Karaiti: whakatika, wharikitia tou moenga. Na whakatika tonu ake ia.
35 I kite katoa hoki ia i te hunga e noho ana i Raira, i Harona, a tahuri ana ki te Ariki.
36 Na tera tetahi akonga i Hopa e noho ana, ko Tapita te ingoa, ko te whakamaoritanga ko Roka: he wahine tenei i aro nui ki nga mahi pai, ki nga mahi atawhai rawakore.
37 A i aua ra ka turorotia ia, ka mate: a ka oti ia te horoi e ratou, ka whakatakotoria ia ki tetahi ruma i runga.
38 Na, i te mea e tata atu ana a Raira ki Hopa, ka rongo nga akonga kei reira a Pita, a ka tonoa e ratou tokorua nga tangata ki a ia, hei mea, Kaua e whakaroa te haere mai ki a matou.
39 Na whakatika ana a Pita, haere ana i a raua. A, i tona taenga atu ka arahina e ratou ki te ruma i runga: a tu ana nga pouaru katoa i tona taha, tangi ana, ka whakakite ki a ia i nga koti, i nga kakahu i hanga e Roka, i a ia e noho ana i a ratou.
40 Otiia ka tonoa ratou katoa e Pita ki waho, ka tuku ia i ona turi, ka inoi; katahi ka tahuri ake ia ki te tupapaku, ka mea, Tapita, e ara. Na ka titiro ona kanohi: a, i tona kitenga i a Pita, ka noho ia ki runga.
41 Katahi ka hoatu e ia tona ringa ki a ia, ka whakaara ake i a ia; a karangatia ana e ia te hunga tapu me nga pouaru, a tukua oratia atu ana ia.
42 A i mohiotia tenei mea puta noa i Hopa katoa: he tokomaha hoki i whakapono ki te Ariki.
43 A he maha ona ra i noho ai ia ki Hopa, ki a Haimona kaimahi hiako.
10 Na i Hiharia tetahi tangata, ko Koroniria te ingoa, he keneturio no te pu i kiia nei ko to Itari;
2 He tangata karakia ia, e wehi ana i te Atua, ratou ko tona whare katoa, he maha ana mahi atawhai ki te iwi, me te inoi tonu ki te Atua.
3 I kite nui ia, he whakarehu, i te mea ka tata ki te iwa o nga haora o te ra, i tetahi anahera a te Atua, e haere mai ana ki a ia, e mea ana hoki ki a ia, E Koroniria.
4 Na ka titiro matatau atu ia ki a ia, ka wehi, ka mea, he aha, e te Ariki? Ka ki tera ki a ia, Kua puta ake au inoi me au mahi atawhai, hei whakamahara ki te aroaro o te Atua.
5 Na tonoa aianei he tangata ki Hopa, ki te tiki i a Haimona, ko te rua nei o ona ingoa ko Pita.
6 He manuhiri ia na Haimona kaimahi hiako, i te taha nei o te moana tona whare.
7 A, no te rironga atu o te anahera i korero nei ki a ia, ka karangatia e ia tokorua o ana pononga tane, me tetahi hoia karakia no te hunga e mahi tonu ana ki a ia;
8 A, ka oti nga mea katoa te korero ki a ratou, ka tonoa ratou e ia ki Hopa.
9 Na i te aonga ake, i a ratou e haere ana, e whakatata atu ana ki te pa, ka kake a Pita ki runga ki te tuanui, i te ono o nga haora, ki te inoi:
10 Na ka pa ki a ia te matekai, ka mea ki te kai: otira i a ratou e taka mai ana, ka tau iho te wairua matakite ki a ia;
11 Na ka kite ia i te rangi kua tuwhera, me tetahi mea e heke iho ana, he mea tuku iho ma nga pito e wha, ki te whenua:
12 I roto i taua mea nga momo kararehe waewae wha katoa, nga mea ngokingoki katoa o te whenua, me nga manu o te rangi.
13 I reira ka puta mai he reo ki a ia, Whakatika, e Pita; patua, kainga.
14 Ko Pita ia i mea, Kahore, e te Ariki; kiano ahau i kai i te mea noa, i te mea poke ranei.
15 Ka puta mai ano he reo ki a ia, ka tuaruatia, Ko a te Atua i mea ai kia ma, kaua e whakanoatia e koe.
16 E toru meatanga o tenei: a i reira tonu ka tangohia atu taua mea ki te rangi.
17 I taua wa tonu, i a Pita e whakaaroaro ana i roto i a ia ki te tikanga o tenei whakakitenga, na, ko nga tangata i tonoa mai ra e Koroniria, tera kua uiui ki te whare o Haimona, tu ana i mua i te kuwaha,
18 Karanga ana mai, ui ana, kei reira ranei e noho ana a Pita, te rua nei o ona ingoa ko Haimona.
19 A, i a Pita e whakaaro ana mo taua whakakitenga, ka mea te Wairua ki a ia, Nana, tokotoru enei tangata e rapu ana i a koe.
20 Na whakatika, heke atu, haere tahi koutou, kei ruarua; naku hoki ratou i tono mai.
21 Na ka heke atu a Pita ki aua tangata, ka mea, Na, ko ahau tenei e rapu nei koutou: he aha te take o ta koutou haere mai?
22 Na ka mea ratou, Ko Koroniria ra, he keneturio, he tangata tika, e wehi ana i te Atua, e korerotia paitia ana e te iwi katoa o nga Hurai, kua whakamaharatia ia e te Atua na tetahi anahera tapu kia tikina atu koe ki tona whare, kia rongo ia ki et ahi kupu i a koe.
23 Na karanga ana ia i a ratou ki roto hei manuhiri mana. A, i te aonga ake, ka whakatika ia ka haere atu me ratou, a ko etahi o nga teina no Hopa i haere tahi me ia.
24 A ao ake ka tomo ratou ki Hiharia. Na ko Koronira e tatari mai ana ki a ratou, he mea karanga nana kia huihui mai ona whanaunga me ona hoa tupu.
25 A, no ka tomo atu a Pita, ka tutaki a Koroniria ki a ia, ka hinga ki ona waewae, ka koropiko ki a ia.
26 Otira ka whakaara ake a Pita i a ia, ka mea, E tu ki runga; he tangata nei ano ahau.
27 Na i a ia e korero ana ki a ia, ka tomo atu ia ki roto, ka kite i te menenga tokomaha,
28 Ka mea atu ki a ratou, E matau ana koutou e kore e tika kia huihui te tangata o nga Hurai, kia haere atu ranei ki te tangata iwi ke: otiia kua whakakitea e te Atua ki ahau kia kaua e kiia tetahi tangata he noa, he poke.
29 Koia ahau i haere mai ai, kihai i aha i te tikinga ake i ahau. Na ka ui nei ahau, he aha te take i tikina ake ai ahau?
30 Ka mea a Koroniria, Ka wha nga ra inaianei tae mai ki tenei haora, e whakarite ana ahau i te inoinga o te iwa o nga haora i roto i toku whare; na, ko te tangata e tu ana i toku aroaro, kanapa tonu te kakahu,
31 E mea ana, E Koroniria, kua rangona tau inoi, a e maharatia ana au mahi atawhai i te aroaro o te Atua.
32 Na, tonoa he tangata ki Hopa, ka karanga ki a koe i a Haimona, te rua nei o ona ingoa ko Pita: he manuhiri ia i roto i te whare o Haimona kaimahi hiako, i te taha moana.
33 I reira tonu ka tono tangata atu ahau ki a koe; na he pai rawa tou haerenga mai. No reira kei konei katoa matou kei te aroaro o te Atua, whakarongo ai ki nga mea katoa kua whakahaua e te Ariki ki a koe.
34 Na ka puaki te mangai o Pita, ka mea, he pono ka kite ahau kahore a te Atua whakapai kanohi:
35 Otiia i roto i nga tini iwi ko te tangata e wehi ana ki a ia, a e mahi ana i te tika, ka paingia e ia.
36 Ko te kupu i tukua mai e ia ki nga tamariki a Iharaira, he kauwhau i te rongopai o te rangimarie na Ihu Karaiti: ko ia nei te Ariki o te katoa:
37 Ko taua kupu, kei te mohio koutou, i kauwhautia ra puta noa i Huria katoa, i timata mai i Kariri, i muri o te iriiri i kauwhautia e Hoani;
38 Ara ko Ihu o Nahareta, ta te Atua whakawahinga i a ia ki te Wairua Tapu, ki te kaha: a haereere ana ia ki te mahi i te pai, ki te whakaora i te hunga katoa i pehia e te rewera; no te mea i a ia te Atua.
39 Ko matou hoki nga kaiwhakaatu o nga mea katoa i mea ai ia ki te whenua o nga Hurai, ki Hiruharama hoki: a whakamatea ana ia e ratou, he mea whakairi ki runga ki te rakau.
40 Na ko ia i whakaarahia ake e te Atua i te toru o nga ra, a meinga ana ia kia kitea nuitia,
41 Ehara i te mea e te iwi katoa, engari e te hunga i whiriwhiria i mua e te Atua, ara e matou, i kai tahi nei, i inu tahi nei me ia, i muri i tona aranga ake i te hunga mate.
42 I whai kupu hoki ia ki a matou kia kauwhau ki te iwi, kia whakaatu, ko ia ta te Atua i whakarite ai hei kaiwhakawa mo nga tangata ora, mo nga tangata mate.
43 He kaiwhakaatu nga poropiti katoa mona, ara ma tona ingoa ka whiwhi ai ki te murunga hara nga tangata katoa e whakarongo ana ki a ia.
44 I a Pita ano e korero ana i enei kupu, ka tau iho te Wairua Tapu ki te hunga katoa e whakarongo ana ki te kupu.
45 A, ko te hunga o te kotinga i whakapono nei, ko nga mea i haere tahi mai me Pita, miharo ana no te mea kua ringihia tahitia iho te Wairua Tapu ki nga Tauiwi.
46 I rongo hoki ratou ki nga reo i korero ai ratou, i whakanui ai i te Atua. I reira ka whakahoki a Pita,
47 E ahei ranei te whakakahore e tetahi te wai, kei iriiria enei kua whiwhi tahi nei me tatou ki te Wairua Tapu?
48 Na ka whakahau ia kia iriiria ratou i runga i te ingoa o Ihu Karaiti. I reira ka tohe ratou ki a ia kia noho mo etahi ra.
Acts 9-10
New International Version
Acts 9-10
New International Version
Saul’s Conversion(A)
9 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples.(B) He went to the high priest 2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus,(C) so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way,(D) whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. 3 As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.(E) 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice(F) say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.
“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. 6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”(G)
7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound(H) but did not see anyone.(I) 8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing.(J) So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.
10 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision,(K) “Ananias!”
“Yes, Lord,” he answered.
11 The Lord told him, “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus(L) named Saul, for he is praying. 12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on(M) him to restore his sight.”
13 “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people(N) in Jerusalem.(O) 14 And he has come here with authority from the chief priests(P) to arrest all who call on your name.”(Q)
15 But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument(R) to proclaim my name to the Gentiles(S) and their kings(T) and to the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.”(U)
17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on(V) Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”(W) 18 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized,(X) 19 and after taking some food, he regained his strength.
Saul in Damascus and Jerusalem
Saul spent several days with the disciples(Y) in Damascus.(Z) 20 At once he began to preach in the synagogues(AA) that Jesus is the Son of God.(AB) 21 All those who heard him were astonished and asked, “Isn’t he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name?(AC) And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”(AD) 22 Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Messiah.(AE)
23 After many days had gone by, there was a conspiracy among the Jews to kill him,(AF) 24 but Saul learned of their plan.(AG) Day and night they kept close watch on the city gates in order to kill him. 25 But his followers took him by night and lowered him in a basket through an opening in the wall.(AH)
26 When he came to Jerusalem,(AI) he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas(AJ) took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him,(AK) and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus.(AL) 28 So Saul stayed with them and moved about freely in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. 29 He talked and debated with the Hellenistic Jews,[a](AM) but they tried to kill him.(AN) 30 When the believers(AO) learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea(AP) and sent him off to Tarsus.(AQ)
31 Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria(AR) enjoyed a time of peace and was strengthened. Living in the fear of the Lord and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.(AS)
Aeneas and Dorcas
32 As Peter traveled about the country, he went to visit the Lord’s people(AT) who lived in Lydda. 33 There he found a man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed and had been bedridden for eight years. 34 “Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you.(AU) Get up and roll up your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up. 35 All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon(AV) saw him and turned to the Lord.(AW)
36 In Joppa(AX) there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good(AY) and helping the poor. 37 About that time she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upstairs room.(AZ) 38 Lydda was near Joppa; so when the disciples(BA) heard that Peter was in Lydda, they sent two men to him and urged him, “Please come at once!”
39 Peter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows(BB) stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
40 Peter sent them all out of the room;(BC) then he got down on his knees(BD) and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, “Tabitha, get up.”(BE) She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up. 41 He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet. Then he called for the believers, especially the widows, and presented her to them alive. 42 This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.(BF) 43 Peter stayed in Joppa for some time with a tanner named Simon.(BG)
Cornelius Calls for Peter
10 At Caesarea(BH) 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;(BI) he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. 3 One day at about three in the afternoon(BJ) he had a vision.(BK) He distinctly saw an angel(BL) 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(BM) before God.(BN) 5 Now send men to Joppa(BO) to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6 He is staying with Simon the tanner,(BP) 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.(BQ)
Peter’s Vision(BR)
9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof(BS) to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.(BT) 11 He saw heaven opened(BU) 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!”(BV) Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”(BW)
15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”(BX)
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,(BY) the men sent by Cornelius(BZ) 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,(CA) the Spirit said(CB) to him, “Simon, three[b] men are looking for you. 20 So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.”(CC)
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,(CD) 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.”(CE) 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(CF) from Joppa went along.(CG) 24 The following day he arrived in Caesarea.(CH) 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.”(CI)
27 While talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people.(CJ) 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.(CK) But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean.(CL) 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(CM) 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(CN) 35 but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.(CO) 36 You know the message(CP) God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news(CQ) of peace(CR) through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.(CS) 37 You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached— 38 how God anointed(CT) Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing(CU) all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.(CV)
39 “We are witnesses(CW) of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross,(CX) 40 but God raised him from the dead(CY) on the third day and caused him to be seen. 41 He was not seen by all the people,(CZ) but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate(DA) and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 He commanded us to preach to the people(DB) and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead.(DC) 43 All the prophets testify about him(DD) that everyone(DE) who believes(DF) in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”(DG)
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on(DH) all who heard the message. 45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter(DI) were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out(DJ) even on Gentiles.(DK) 46 For they heard them speaking in tongues[c](DL) and praising God.
Then Peter said, 47 “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water.(DM) They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.”(DN) 48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.(DO) Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.
