^{34 Ref} And Peter having opened his mouth, said, `Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,

^{35 Ref} but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him;

^{36 Ref} the word that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news -- peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of all,)

^{37 Ref} ye -- ye have known; -- the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached;

^{38 Ref} Jesus who `is' from Nazareth -- how God did anoint him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the devil, because God was with him;

^{39 Ref} and we -- we are witnesses of all things that he did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem, -- whom they did slay, having hanged upon a tree.

^{40 Ref} `This one God did raise up the third day, and gave him to become manifest,

^{41 Ref} not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God -- to us who did eat with `him', and did drink with him, after his rising out of the dead;

^{42 Ref} and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify fully that it is he who hath been ordained by God judge of living and dead --

^{43 Ref} to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.'

^{44 Ref} While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy spirit fell upon all those hearing the word,

^{45 Ref} and those of the circumcision believing were astonished -- as many as came with Peter -- because also upon the nations the gift of the Holy Spirit hath been poured out,

^{46 Ref} for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.
