Compare all
32 Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.1 When he comes, he will speak to you.’  
33 So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. Now therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things commanded you by God.”

Preaching to Cornelius’ Household

34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: a“In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.  
35 But ain every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is baccepted by Him.  
36 The word which God sent to the1 children of Israel, apreaching peace through Jesus Christ—bHe is Lord of all—  
37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and abegan from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:  
38 how aGod anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who bwent about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, cfor God was with Him.  
39 And we are awitnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom1 they bkilled by hanging on a tree.  
40 Him aGod raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly,  
41 anot to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us bwho ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.  
42 And aHe commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify bthat it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge cof the living and the dead.  
43 aTo Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, bwhoever believes in Him will receive cremission of sins.”  

The Holy Spirit Falls on the Gentiles

44 While Peter was still speaking these words, athe Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word.  
45 aAnd1 those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, bbecause the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.  
46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered,
47 “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit ajust as we have?”

Acts 10:34-35

Peter opened his mouth—(See on Matthew 5:2).

Of a truth I perceive—that is, "I have it now demonstrated before mine eyes."

that God is no respecter of persons—Not, "I see there is no capricious favoritism with God," for Peter would never imagine such a thing; but (as the next clause shows), "I see that God has respect only to personal character and state in the acceptance of men, national and ecclesiastical distinctions being of no account."
