39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: |
40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; |
41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink 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 which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. |
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. |
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. |
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. |
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, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? |
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. |
