Acts 10:43

So here he is saying Jews and Gentiles are treated the same. God chose no partiality. That he understood by what God had showed him that everybody, Jew and Gentile, is saved by grace through faith. That is just the way it is. He figured it out very quickly. And of course, in the next verses when the Holy Spirit fell on the Gentiles even before they had been baptized, Peter said, This is God confirming that I had logically concluded the right thing.
