Acts 10:44-48

The Holy Spirit Falls on the Gentiles

44 While Peter was still saying these things, ¹the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word.

45 And the believers from among ²the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because ³the gift of the Holy Spirit ⁴was poured out even on the Gentiles.

46 For they were hearing them ⁵speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared,

47 ⁶"Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit ⁷just as we have?"

48 And he ⁸commanded them ⁹to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.
