31. He says, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your tzadakah remembered before God.
32. Therefore send to Joppa and ask for Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’
33. So I sent for you immediately, and you have been kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here before God to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord.”
34. Then Peter opened his mouth and said, “I truly understand that God is not one to show favoritism,
35. but in every nation the one who fears Him and does what is right is acceptable to Him.
36. You know the message He sent to Bnei-Yisrael, proclaiming shalom through Messiah Yeshua—He is Lord of all.
37. You know the message that has spread throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the immersion that John proclaimed.
38. You know how God anointed Yeshua of Natzeret with the Ruach ha-Kodesh and power—how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.
39. We are witnesses to all He did, both in the Judean countryside and in Jerusalem. They put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree,
40. but God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be visible—
41. not to all the people, but to us, witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God. We ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.
42. And He commanded us to proclaim to the people and to testify that He is the One ordained by God as Judge of the living and the dead.
43. All the prophets testify about Him—that everyone who puts his trust in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”
44. While Peter was still speaking these words, the Ruach ha-Kodesh fell on all those hearing the message.
