Acts 10:40–48

40 but God raised him from the deadb on the third day and caused him to be seen. 41 He was not seen by all the people,c but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ated and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 He commanded us to preach to the peoplee and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead.f 43 All the prophets testify about himg that everyoneh who believesi in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”j

44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came onk all who heard the message. 45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peterl were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured outm even on Gentiles.n 46 For they heard them speaking in tonguesb o and praising God.

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