Cornelius said, "Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour, and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31
and said, 'Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
32
Send therefore to Yafo, and summon Shim`on, who is surnamed Kefa. He lodges in the house of Shim`on a tanner, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.'
33
Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God."
34
Kefa opened his mouth and said, "Truly I perceive that God doesn't show favoritism;
35
but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
36
The word which he sent to the children of Yisra'el, preaching good news of shalom by Yeshua the Messiah -- he is Lord of all --
37
that spoken word you yourselves know, which was proclaimed throughout all Yehudah, beginning from the Galil, after the immersion which Yochanan preached;
38
even Yeshua of Natzeret, how God anointed him with the Ruach HaKodesh and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
39
We are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Yehudim, and in Yerushalayim; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.
40
God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed,
41
not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42
He charged us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.
43
All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins."
44
While Kefa was still speaking these words, the Ruach HaKodesh fell on all those who heard the word.
45
They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Kefa, because the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh was also poured out on the Goyim.
46
For they heard them speak with other languages and magnify God. Then Kefa answered,
47
"Can any man forbid the water, that these who have received the Ruach HaKodesh as well as we should not be immersed?"
48
He commanded them to be immersed in the name of Yeshua the Messiah. Then they asked him to stay some days.
