³⁴ So de Peter Petros opened anoigō his ho mouth stoma and said legō: “ Truly epi alētheia I understand katalambanō that hoti God theos is eimi not ou one who shows partiality prosōpolēmptēs; · ho ³⁵ but alla in en every pas nation ethnos · ho anyone who fears phobeomai him autos and kai does ergazomai what is right dikaiosynē is eimi acceptable dektos to him autos ³⁶ As for the ho word logos that hos he sent apostellō to the ho sons hyios of Israel Israēl, preaching euangelizō good news of peace eirēnē through dia Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos ( he houtos is eimi Lord kyrios of all pas), ³⁷ you yourselves hymeis know oida the account rhēma that ho spread ginomai throughout kata all holos · ho Judea Ioudaia, beginning archō from apo · ho Galilee Galilaia after meta the ho baptism baptisma that hos John Iōannēs proclaimed kēryssō, ³⁸ Jesus Iēsous · ho of apo Nazareth Nazareth, how hōs God theos anointed chriō him autos · ho with the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma and kai with power dynamis; who hos went dierchomai about doing euergeteō good and kai healing iaomai all pas who ho were oppressed katadynasteuō by hypo the ho devil diabolos, because hoti · ho God theos was eimi with meta him autos. ³⁹ And kai we hēmeis are witnesses martys of all pas that hos he did poieō both te in en the ho country chōra of the ho Jews Ioudaios and kai in en Jerusalem Ierousalēm, whom hos also kai they put to death anaireō by hanging kremannymi him on epi a tree xylon. ⁴⁰ This houtos man · ho God theos raised egeirō up on en the ho third tritos day hēmera and kai allowed didōmi him autos to be ginomai seen emphanēs, ⁴¹ not ou to all pas the ho people laos but alla to witnesses martys who ho had been previously chosen procheirotoneō by hypo · ho God theos, to us hēmeis, who hostis ate synesthiō and kai drank sympinō with him autos after meta he autos · ho rose anistēmi from ek the dead nekros. ⁴² And kai he commanded parangellō us hēmeis to preach kēryssō to the ho people laos and kai to testify diamartyromai that hoti this houtos is eimi he ho who is appointed horizō by hypo · ho God theos to be judge kritēs of the living zaō and kai the dead nekros. ⁴³ To him houtos all pas the ho prophets prophētēs bear martyreō witness , that everyone pas who ho believes pisteuō in eis him autos receives lambanō forgiveness aphesis of sins hamartia through dia · ho his autos name onoma.”

Then tote Peter Petros declared apokrinomai, ⁴⁷ “ Surely no mēti one tis is able dynamai to withhold kōlyō the ho water hydōr so that ho these people houtos cannot mē be baptized baptizō who hostis received lambanō the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma · ho just kai as hōs we hēmeis did, can he ? ⁴⁸ And de he ordered prostassō them autos to be baptized baptizō in en the ho name onoma of Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos. Then tote they asked erōtaō him autos to remain epimenō for some tis days hēmera.
