And we are witnesses of all things which He did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem -- He whom they hanged on a tree and slew.
40
Him God raised up the third day and showed Him openly,
41
not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.
42
And He commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be the Judge of the quick and dead.
43
To Him all the prophets bear witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins."
44
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all those who heard the Word.
45
And those of the Circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Ghost was poured out also on the Gentiles.
46
For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47
"Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we?"
48
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they entreated him to tarry certain days.
