But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
9
But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
10
And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11
And behold, immediately there were three men already come to the house where I was, sent from Cesarea to me.
12
And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover, these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:
13
And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, who stood and said to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
14
Who shall tell thee words, by which thou and all thy house shall be saved.
15
And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16
Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.
17
Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as [he did] to us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I that I could withstand God?
18
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance to life.
