  44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.

  45 They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.

  46 For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

  47 “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”

  48 He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.

  1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

  2 When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,

  3 saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them!”

  4 But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,

  5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.

  6 When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.

  7 I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’

  8 But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’

  9 But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’

  10 This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

- Gospel

  John 8:21–30

  21 Jesus said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can’t come.”

  22 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”

  23 He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

  24 I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”

  25 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

  26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world.”

  27 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.

  28 Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.

  29 He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

  30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
