11Now the apostles and the believers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also accepted the word of God. 2So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized him, 3saying, Why did you go to uncircumcised men and eat with them? 4Then Peter began to explain it to them, step by step, saying, 15And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them just as it had upon us at the beginning. 16And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said, John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit. 17If then God gave them the same gift that he gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could hinder God? 18When they heard this, they were silenced. And they praised God, saying, Then God has given even to the Gentiles the repentance that leads to life.
