Good News for the Gentiles

Then Peter began to speak“I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism, 35 but vvv welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right. 36 He has sent [this] message to the people of Israel, proclaiming the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, [who] is Lord of all.

37 

You yourselves know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee with the baptism that John proclaimed: 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with [the] Holy Spirit and with power, [and] how [Jesus] went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.

39 

We are witnesses of all that He did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. And although vvv they put [Him] to death by hanging [Him] on a tree, 40 God raised [Him] up on the third day and caused Him to be seen — 41 not by all the people, but by the witnesses God had chosen beforehand, by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from [the] dead. 42 And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the [One] appointed by God to judge [the] living and [the] dead. 43 All the prophets testify about Him [that] everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”
