New Testament

Acts 11:12-17 New Century Version (NCV)

12. The Spirit told me to go with them without doubting. These six believers here also went with me, and we entered the house of Cornelius.

13. He told us about the angel he saw standing in his house. The angel said to him, ‘Send some men to Joppa and invite Simon Peter to come.

14. By the words he will say to you, you and all your family will be saved.’

15. When I began my speech, the Holy Spirit came on them just as he came on us at the beginning.

16. Then I remembered the words of the Lord. He said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

17. Since God gave them the same gift he gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, how could I stop the work of God?”
