Acts 11:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with^[a] water, but you will be baptized with^[b] the Holy Spirit.’ ¹⁷ Now if God gave them the same gift that he gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus, the Messiah,^[c] who was I to try to stop God?”

¹⁸ When they heard this, they calmed down, and praised God by saying, “So God has given repentance that leads to life even to gentiles.”
