God Shows No Partiality

34Then Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I understand that God is not one who shows partiality,”

35but in every nation the one who fears him and does what is righteous is acceptable to him.

36the message that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming peace through Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all.

37You yourselves know the thing that happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed,

38Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power; he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with him.

39And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also put him to death by hanging him on a tree.

40God raised this one on the third day and granted him to become visible,

41not to all the people, but to witnesses who had been chosen beforehand by God—to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

42And he commanded us to proclaim to the people and to testify solemnly that this is the one appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead.

43All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.
