32. Therefore, send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. This man is a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, near the sea.'
33. And so, I promptly sent for you. And you have done well in coming here. Therefore, all of us are now present in your sight to hear all the things that were taught to you by the Lord."
34. Then, Peter, opening his mouth, said: "I have concluded in truth that God is not a respecter of persons.
35. But within every nation, whoever fears him and works justice is acceptable to him.
36. God sent the Word to the sons of Israel, announcing the peace through Jesus Christ, for he is the Lord of all.
37. You know that the Word has been made known throughout all Judea. For beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,
38. Jesus of Nazareth, whom God anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power, traveled around doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil. For God was with him.
39. And we are witnesses of all that he did in the region of Judea and in Jerusalem, he whom they killed by hanging him on a tree.
40. God raised him up on the third day and permitted him to be made manifest,
41. not to all the people, but to the witnesses preordained by God, to those of us who ate and drank with him after he rose again from the dead.
42. And he instructed us to preach to the people, and to testify that he is the One who was appointed by God to be the judge of the living and of the dead.
43. To him all the Prophets offer testimony that through his name all who believe in him receive the remission of sins."
44. While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell over all of those who were listening to the Word.
45. And the faithful of the circumcision, who had arrived with Peter, were astonished that the grace of the Holy Spirit was also poured out upon the Gentiles.
46. For they heard them speaking in tongues and magnifying God.
47. Then Peter responded, "How could anyone prohibit water, so that those who have received the Holy Spirit would not be baptized, just as we also have been?"
48. And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they begged him to remain with them for some days.
