Acts 10:42
40 God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be seen—
41 not by all the people, but by the witnesses God had chosen beforehand, by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.
And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed by God to judge the living and the dead.
43 All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard his message.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
