44:010:042 And he commanded us to preach unto the
people, and to testify
that
it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge
of
quick
and dead.
44:010:043 To him give all the prophets witness, that
through his name
whosoever
believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
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;
