Acts 10:39-48
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 10
39We are witnesses of all the things that He did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also put Him to death by hanging Him on a cross. 40God raised Him up on the third day and granted that He be revealed, 41not to all the people, but to witnesses who had been chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. 42And He ordered us to preach to the people, and to testify solemnly that this is the One who has been appointed by God as Judge of the living and the dead. 43All the prophets testify of Him, that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.'
44While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message.
45All the Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had also been poured out on the Gentiles.
46For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting God. Then Peter responded,
47Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?'
48And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.
King James Version
Chapter 10
39And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 40Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; 41Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. 42And 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. 43To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45And 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.
46For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 10
39We ourselves are witnesses of everything he did in both the Judean country and in Jerusalem, and yet they killed him by hanging him on a tree. 40God raised up this man on the third day and caused him to be seen, 41not by all the people, but by us whom God appointed as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be the judge of the living and the dead. 43All the prophets testify about him that through his name everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins."
44While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came down on all those who heard the message.
45The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were amazed because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.
46For they heard them speaking in other tongues and declaring the greatness of God. Then Peter responded,
47"Can anyone withhold water and prevent these people from being baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?"
48He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for a few days.
New Living Translation
Chapter 10
39And we apostles are witnesses of all he did throughout Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a cross, 40but God raised him to life on the third day. Then God allowed him to appear, 41not to the general public, but to us whom God had chosen in advance to be his witnesses. We were those who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42And he ordered us to preach everywhere and to testify that Jesus is the one appointed by God to be the judge of all — the living and the dead. 43He is the one all the prophets testified about, saying that everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name.'
44Even as Peter was saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the message.
45The Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles, too.
46For they heard them speaking in other tongues and praising God. Then Peter asked,
47Can anyone object to their being baptized, now that they have received the Holy Spirit just as we did?'
48So he gave orders for them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Afterward Cornelius asked him to stay with them for several days.

47"Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?"
48And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.
