10 44 Peter was still speaking when the Holy Spirit came upon all who were listening to the message. 10 45 The believers who had come with Peter, men of Jewish birth, were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit should have been poured out even on Gentiles. 10 46 For they could hear them speaking in tongues of ecstasy and acclaiming the greatness of God. Then Peter spoke: 10 47 'Is anyone prepared to withhold the water for baptism from these persons, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did ourselves?' 10 48 Then he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. After that they asked him to stay on with them for a time.
