Acts 11:16 in Context — Acts 11

14 O qual te falará palavras, em que tu sejas salvo, e [também] toda a tua casa.

15 E quando comecei a falar, caiu o Espírito Santo sobre eles, assim como também no princípio [tinha caído] sobre nós.

16 E eu me lembrei da palavra do Senhor, como ele tinha dito: Verdadeiramente João batizou com água, mas vós sereis batizados com o Espírito Santo.

17 Portanto, se Deus deu a eles igual dom, assim como também a nós, que temos crido no Senhor Jesus Cristo; quem era eu, pois, para que pudesse proibir a Deus?

18 E ao ouvirem estas coisas, se acalmaram, e glorificavam a Deus, dizendo: Portanto também aos gentios Deus deu arrependimento para a vida.
