Acts 10:34-43

Gentiles Hear the Good News

34 So Peter opened his mouth and said: "Truly I understand that ¹God ²shows no partiality,

35 but ³in every nation anyone who fears him and ⁴does what is right is acceptable to him.

36 As for ⁵the word that he sent to Israel, ⁶preaching good news of ⁷peace through Jesus Christ (⁸he is Lord of all),

37 you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, ⁹beginning ¹⁰from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed:

38 how ¹¹God anointed Jesus of Nazareth ¹²with the Holy Spirit and with ¹³power. He went about doing good and healing all ¹⁴who were oppressed by the devil, ¹⁵for God was with him.

39 And ¹⁶we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. ¹⁷They put him to death by hanging him on a tree,

40 but ¹⁸God raised him on ¹⁹the third day and made him to ²⁰appear,

41 ²¹not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as ²²witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

42 And ²³he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify ²⁴that he is the one appointed by God to be judge ²⁵of the living and the dead.

43 ²⁶To him ²⁷all the prophets bear witness that ²⁸everyone who believes in him receives ²⁹forgiveness of sins ³⁰through his name."
