Acts 10:45

Acts 10:45

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?”

48 ^aAnd he commanded them to be baptized ^bin the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days.
