44:010:044 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all
them which heard the word.
44:010:045 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.
44:010:046 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then
answered Peter,
44:010:047 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized,
which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
44:010:048 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord.
Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
44:011:001 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that
the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
44:011:002 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the
circumcision contended with him,
44:011:003 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat
with them.
44:011:004 But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and
expounded it by order unto them, saying,
44:011:005 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a
vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great
sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even
to me:
44:011:006 Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered,
and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and
creeping things, and fowls of the air.
44:011:007 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and
eat.
44:011:008 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath
at any time entered into my mouth.
44:011:009 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath
cleansed, that call not thou common.
44:011:010 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again
into heaven.
44:011:011 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come
unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.
44:011:012 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting.
Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered
into the man's house:
44:011:013 And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which
stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for
Simon, whose surname is Peter;
44:011:014 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house
shall be saved.
44:011:015 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us
at the beginning.
44:011:016 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John
indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the
Holy Ghost.
