37. You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,
38. Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
39. And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree.
40. Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
41. Not to all the people, but to witnesses preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he arose again from the dead;
42. And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God, to be judge of the living and of the dead.
43. To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.
44. While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word.
45. And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished, for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also.
46. For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.
47. Then Peter answered: 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 Jesus Christ. Then they desired him to tarry with them some days.
