Acts 11:12-17 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

12. The Spirit told me to accompany them without discriminating. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s house.

13. He related to us how he had seen (the) angel standing in his house, saying, ‘Send someone to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter,

14. who will speak words to you by which you and all your household will be saved.’

15. As I began to speak, the holy Spirit fell upon them as it had upon us at the beginning,

16. and I remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said, ‘John baptized with water but you will be baptized with the holy Spirit.’

17. If then God gave them the same gift he gave to us when we came to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to be able to hinder God?”
