`This one God did raise up the third day, and gave him to become manifest,
41
not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God -- to us who did eat with [him], and did drink with him, after his rising out of the dead;
42
and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify fully that it is he who hath been ordained by God judge of living and dead --
43
to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.'
44
While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy spirit fell upon all those hearing the word,
45
and those of the circumcision believing were astonished -- as many as came with Peter -- because also upon the nations the gift of the Holy Spirit hath been poured out,
46
for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.
47
Then answered Peter, `The water is any one able to forbid, that these may not be baptized, who the Holy Spirit did receive -- even as also we?'
48
he commanded them also to be baptized in the name of the Lord; then they besought him to remain certain days.
