I PERCEIVE
ACTS 10:34-48
THEN PETER OPENED HIS MOUTH,
AND SAID,
OF A TRUTH
I PERCEIVE
THAT GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS:
BUT
IN EVERY NATION
HE THAT FEARETH HIM,
AND
WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS,
IS
ACCEPTED WITH HIM.
THE WORD WHICH GOD SENT
UNTO THE CHILDREN OF ISREAL,
PREACHING PEACE BY JESUS CHRIST
(HE IS LORD OF ALL:)
THAT WORD,
I SAY, YE KNOW,
WHICH WAS PUBLISHED THROUGHOUT ALL JUDAEA,
AND BEGAN FROM GALILEE,
AFTER THE BAPTISM WHICH JOHN PREACHED;
WHO WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD,
HOW GOD ANOINTED JESUS OF NAZARETH
WITH
THE HOLY GHOST AND WITH POWER:
AND HEALING
ALL THAT WERE
OPPRESSED OF THE DEVIL;
FOR GOD WAS WITH HIM.
AND WE ARE WITNESS OF ALL THINGS
WHICH HE DID BOTH IN THE LAND OF THE JEWS,
WHOM THEY SLEW AND HANGED ON A TREE:
HIM GOD RAISED UP THE THIRD DAY,
AND SHEWED HIM OPENLY,
NOT TO ALL PEOPLE,
BUT UNTO WITNESSES
CHOSEN BEFORE GOD,
EVEN TO US, WHO DID EAT AND DRINK WITH HIM
AFTER HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD.
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.
TO HIM GIVE ALL
THE PROPHETS WITNESS,
THAT THROUGH HIS NAME
WHOSOEVER
BELIEVETH IN HIM
SHALL HAVE REMISSION OF SINS.
WHILE PETER YET SPAKE THESE WORDS,
THE HOLY GHOST
FELL ON ALL THEM
WHICH HEARD THE WORD.
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.
FOR THEY HEARD THEM SPEAK WITH TONGUES,
AND
MAGNIFY GOD.
THEN ANSWERED PETER,
CAN ANY MAN FORBID WATER,
THAT THESE SHOULD NOT BE BAPTIZED,
WHICH HAVE RECEIVED
THE HOLY GHOST
AS WELL AS WE?
AND HE
COMMANDED THEM
TO BE BAPTIZED
IN THE NAME OF
THE LORD.
THEN PRAYED THEY HIM TO TARRY CERTAIN DAYS.
LOVE
