Acts 10:34-43

Gentiles Hear Good News

34 ¹Opening his mouth, Peter said: "I most certainly * understand now that ²God is not one to show partiality,

35 but ³in every nation the man who ⁴fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him.

36 "The word which He sent to the sons of Israel, ⁵preaching ⁶peace through Jesus Christ (He is ⁷Lord of all )-

37 you yourselves know the thing which took place throughout all Judea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed.

38 "You know of ⁸Jesus of Nazareth, how God ⁹anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, ¹⁰and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for ¹¹God was with Him.

39 "We are ¹²witnesses of all the things He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also ¹³put Him to death by hanging Him on a cross.

40 "¹⁴God raised Him up on the third day and granted that He become visible,

41 ¹⁵not to all the people, but to ¹⁶witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us ¹⁷who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.

42 "And He ¹⁸ordered us to preach to the people, and solemnly to ¹⁹testify that this is the One who has been ²⁰appointed by God as ²¹Judge of the living and the dead.

43 "Of Him ²²all the prophets bear witness that through ²³His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins."
