BUT GOD HAS SHOWN ME THAT I SHOULD NOT CALL ANYONE IMPURE OR UNCLEAN. 29 SO WHEN I WAS SENT FOR, I CAME WITHOUT RAISING ANY OBJECTION… (vv. 27-29) 27 3.

THEN PETER SAID, 47 “SURELY NO ONE CAN STAND IN THE WAY OF THEIR BEING BAPTIZED WITH WATER. THEY HAVE RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT JUST AS WE HAVE.” 48 SO HE ORDERED THAT THEY BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. THEN THEY ASKED PETER TO STAY WITH THEM FOR A FEW DAYS (vv. 44-48) 44 1.
