Acts 11:17 CPDV

¹⁵  And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning.

¹⁶  Then I remembered the words of the Lord, just as he himself said: 'John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'

¹⁷  Therefore, if God gave them the same grace, as also to us, who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I would be able to prohibit God?'

¹⁸  Having heard these things, they were silent. And they glorified God, saying: 'So has God also given to the Gentiles repentance unto life.'

¹⁹  And some of them, having been dispersed by the persecution that had occurred under Stephen, traveled around, even to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the Word to no one, except to Jews only.
