Peter's Sermon to Cornelius

34

And Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

35

but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.

36

The word which he sent unto the children of Israel, preaching good tidings of peace by Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all)—

37

that saying ye yourselves know, which was published throughout all Judæa, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

38

even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

39

And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom also they slew, hanging him on a tree.

40

Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,

41

not to all the people, but unto witnesses that were chosen before of God, even to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

42

And he charged us to preach unto the people, and to testify that this is he who is ordained of God to be the Judge of the living and the dead.

43

To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one that believeth on him shall receive remission of sins.
