Gentiles Hear the Good News
34So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that fGod gshows no partiality, 35but fin every nation anyone who fears him and hdoes what is right is acceptable to him. 36As for ithe word that he sent to Israel, jpreaching good news of kpeace through Jesus Christ (lhe is Lord of all), 37you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, mbeginning nfrom Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed: 38how oGod anointed Jesus of Nazareth pwith the Holy Spirit and with qpower. He went about doing good and healing all rwho were oppressed by the devil, sfor God was with him. 39And twe are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. uThey put him to death by hanging him on a tree, 40but vGod raised him on wthe third day and made him to xappear, 41ynot to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as zwitnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42And ahe commanded us to preach to the people and to testify bthat he is the one appointed by God to be judge cof the living and the dead. 43dTo him eall the prophets bear witness that feveryone who believes in him receives gforgiveness of sins hthrough his name.”
