Acts 10:34-43

Common English Bible CEB

34 Peter said, "I really am learning that God doesn't show partiality to one group of people over another.

35 Rather, in every nation, whoever worships him and does what is right is acceptable to him.

36 This is the message of peace he sent to the Israelites by proclaiming the good news through Jesus Christ: He is Lord of all!

37 You know what happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism John preached.

38 You know about Jesus of Nazareth, whom God anointed with the Holy Spirit and endowed with power. Jesus traveled around doing good and healing everyone oppressed by the devil because God was with him.

39 We are witnesses of everything he did, both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a tree,

40 but God raised him up on the third day and allowed him to be seen,

41 not by everyone but by us. We are witnesses whom God chose beforehand, who ate and drank with him after God raised him from the dead.

42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead.

43 All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name."

The Message Bible MSG

34 Peter fairly exploded with his good news: "It's God's own truth, nothing could be plainer: God plays no favorites!

35 It makes no difference who you are or where you're from - if you want God and are ready to do as he says, the door is open.

36 The Message he sent to the children of Israel - that through Jesus Christ everything is being put together again - well, he's doing it everywhere, among everyone.

37 "You know the story of what happened in Judea. It began in Galilee after John preached a total life-change.

38 Then Jesus arrived from Nazareth, anointed by God with the Holy Spirit, ready for action. He went through the country helping people and healing everyone who was beaten down by the Devil. He was able to do all this because God was with him.

39 "And we saw it, saw it all, everything he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem where they killed him, hung him from a cross.

40 But in three days God had him up, alive, and out where he could be seen.

41 Not everyone saw him - he wasn't put on public display. Witnesses had been carefully handpicked by God beforehand - us! We were the ones, there to eat and drink with him after he came back from the dead.

42 He commissioned us to announce this in public, to bear solemn witness that he is in fact the One whom God destined as Judge of the living and dead.

43 But we're not alone in this. Our witness that he is the means to forgiveness of sins is backed up by the witness of all the prophets."
