Acts 10:43 (LIT/UBS4) To this one (toutō) all (pantes) the (hoi) prophets (prophētai) witness (marturousin);

 

of everyone (panta), the one (ton) believing (pisteuonta) into (eis) the (tou) name (onomatos) of him (autou) [is] to receive (labein) [a] letting go (aphesin) of sins (hamartiōn) through (dia) [the name, RE] of him (autou)."

 

(For a prophecy of the new covenant see Isa. 59:20-21; Acts 10:43; Rom.11:26-27)

Acts 10:45 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) the (hoi) believable ones (pistoi) out (ek) of circumcision (peritomēs), as many as (hosoi) came together with (sunēlthan) the (tō) Peter (Petrō), they were ecstatic (ekestēsan), because (hoti) upon (epi) the (ta) ethnic groups (ethnē) also (kai) the (he) gift (dōrea) of the (tou) holy (hagiou) Spirit (pneumatos) has been poured out (ekkechutai),

 

Acts 10:46 (LIT/UBS4) because (gar) they were hearing (ēkouon) them (autōn) speaking (lalountōn) tongues (glōssais), and (kai) making great (megalunontōn) the (ton) God (theon)!

 

(For the normal and common practice of the church to speak in tongues to pray to God, see Mark 16:17; Acts 2:4-11, 10:46, 19:6; Rom. 8:26-27; 1 Cor. 12:3, 30, 13:1, 14:2-28, 39; Eph. 6:18; Col. 4:3; Jude 1:20)

 

Acts 10:47 (LIT/UBS4) Then (tote) Peter (Petros) was caused to make [a] decision (apekrithē), "What, not (mēti) anyone (tis) can inherently power himself (dunatai) to cut off (kōlusai) the (to) water (hudōr) of the (tou) [baptism, RE] for these ones (toutous) not (mē) to be baptized (baptisthēnai), ones who (hoitines) received (elabon) the (to) Spirit (pneuma), the (to) holy one (hagion), as (hōs) we (hēmeis) also (kai)!?"

 

Acts 10:48 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) he arranged toward (prosetaxen) them (autous) to be baptized (baptisthēnai) in (en) the (to) name (onomati) of Jesus (Iēsou) Christ (Christou)

 

Then (tote) they inquired (ērōtēsan) of him (auton) to stay over (epimeinai) some (tinas) days (hēmeras).
