43. Everyone who believes in Jesus will be forgiven. God will forgive his sins through Jesus. All the prophets say this is true.”
44. While Peter was still saying this, the Holy Spirit came down on all those who were listening.
45. The Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been given even to the non-Jewish people.
46. These Jewish believers heard them speaking in different languages and praising God. Then Peter said,
47. “Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we did!”
48. So Peter ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.
