Acts 10:30–43

³⁰And Cornelius said, ‘Four days ago till this hour, I was fasting, and at the ninth hour praying in my house, and, lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing, ³¹and he said, Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thy kind acts were remembered before God; ³²send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one doth lodge in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, shall speak to thee; ³³at once, therefore, I sent to thee; thou also didst do well, having come; now, therefore, are we all before God present to hear all things that have been commanded thee by God.’

³⁴And Peter having opened his mouth, said, ‘Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons, ³⁵but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him; ³⁶the word that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news—peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of all,) ³⁷ye—ye have known;—the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached; ³⁸Jesus who is from Nazareth—how God did anoint him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the devil, because God was with him; ³⁹and we—we are witnesses of all things that he did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem,—whom they did slay, having hanged upon a tree.

⁴⁰‘This one God did raise up the third day, and gave him to become manifest, ⁴¹not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God—to us who did eat with him, and did drink with him, after his rising out of the dead; ⁴²and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify fully that it is he who hath been ordained by God judge of living and dead— ⁴³to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.’
