in God's presence, to listen to what the Lord has commanded
you to say."
010:034 Then Peter began to speak. "I clearly see," he said,
"that God makes no distinctions between one man and another;
010:035 but that in every nation those who fear Him and live good lives
are acceptable to Him.
010:036 The Message which He sent to the descendants of Israel, when He
announced the Good News of peace through Jesus Christ--He is
Lord of all--that Message you cannot but know;
010:037 the story, I mean, which has spread through the length and
breadth of Judaea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism
which John proclaimed.
010:038 It tells how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit
and with power, so that He went about everywhere doing acts
of kindness, and curing all who were being continually
oppressed by the Devil--for God was with Jesus.
010:039 "And we are witnesses as to all that He did both in the country
of the Jews and in Jerusalem. But they even put Him
to death, by crucifixion.
010:040 That same Jesus God raised to life on the third day,
and permitted Him to appear unmistakably,
010:041 not to all the people, but to witnesses--men previously chosen
by God--namely, to us, who ate and drank with Him after He
rose from the dead.
010:042 And He has commanded us to preach to the people and solemnly
declare that this is He who has been appointed by God to be
the Judge of the living and the dead.
010:043 To Him all the Prophets bear witness, and testify that through
His name all who believe in Him receive the forgiveness
of their sins."
