Acts 10:34–43

The Holy Spirit Poured Out on the Gentiles

^34aAnd opening his mouth, Peter said:

“I most truly comprehend now that ^bGod is not one to show partiality,

³⁵but ^ain every nation the one who ^1bfears Him and does righteousness is welcome to Him.

³⁶“As for the word which He sent to the sons of Israel, ^aproclaiming the good news of ^bpeace through Jesus Christ—He is ^cLord of all—

³⁷you yourselves know the thing which happened throughout all Judea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed.

³⁸“¹You know of ^aJesus of Nazareth, how God ^banointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, ^2cand how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for ^dGod was with Him.

³⁹“And we are ^awitnesses of all the things He did both in the ¹land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also ^bput Him to death by hanging Him on a tree.

⁴⁰“^aGod raised Him up on the third day and granted that He appear,

^41anot to all the people, but to ^bwitnesses who were chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us ^cwho ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.

⁴²“And He ^acommanded us to ¹preach to the people, and solemnly to ^bbear witness that this is the One who has been ^cdesignated by God as ^dJudge of the living and the dead.

⁴³“Of Him ^aall the prophets bear witness that through ^bHis name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”
