⁴⁷ "Can any man forbid the water, that these who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we should not be baptized?"

³⁶ As they went on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?"

²⁴ Abraham was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

²⁵ Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

²⁶ In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.

⁴ They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

¹² But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

¹⁵ As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

¹⁶ I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, 'John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.'

¹⁷ If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?"

⁸ God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.

⁹ He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.

¹¹ He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.

¹² For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.
