Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were
listening to the message. All the circumcised

because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been
poured out on the Gentiles also. For they were
hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting
God. Then Peter answered, Surely no one can
refuse the water for these to be baptized who
have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can
he?
