Gentiles Hear the Good News<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

34 <\/sup>So Peter opened his mouth and said: \u201cTruly I understand that God shows no partiality,<\/span> 35 <\/sup>but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.<\/span> 36 <\/sup>As for the word that he sent to Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all),<\/span> 37 <\/sup>you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed:<\/span> 38 <\/sup>how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.<\/span> 39 <\/sup>And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree,<\/span> 40 <\/sup>but God raised him on the third day and made him to appear,<\/span> 41 <\/sup>not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.<\/span> 42 <\/sup>And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.<\/span> 43 <\/sup>To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 3:13-17  (English Standard Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Baptism of Jesus<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

13 <\/sup>Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.<\/span> 14 <\/sup>John would have prevented him, saying, \u201cI need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?\u201d<\/span> 15 <\/sup>But Jesus answered him, \u201cLet it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.\u201d<\/span> Then he consented.<\/span> 16 <\/sup>And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him;<\/span>17 <\/sup>and behold, a voice from heaven said, \u201cThis is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
