Acts 10:42-48

42 "And He ¹ordered us to preach to the people, and solemnly to ²testify that this is the One who has been ³appointed by God as ⁴Judge of the living and the dead.

43 "Of Him ⁵all the prophets bear witness that through ⁶His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins."

44 While Peter was still speaking these words, ⁷the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message.

45 ⁸All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been ⁹poured out on the Gentiles also.

46 For they were hearing them ¹⁰speaking with tongues and exalting God. Then Peter answered,

47 "¹¹Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who ¹²have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?"

48 And he ¹³ordered them to be baptized ¹⁴in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.
