Acts 10:34-43

Bible Text

[34] Peter opened his mouth and said, "Truly I perceive that God doesn't show favoritism; [35] but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him. [36] The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ--he is Lord of all-- [37] that spoken word you yourselves know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; [38] even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. [39] We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree. [40] God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed, [41] not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. [42] He charged us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead. [43] All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins."

Caesarea, the Roman administrative center on the Mediterranean coast, is where Peter announces the gospel to Cornelius’s household. Peter summarizes Jesus’ ministry from Galilee and Nazareth through Judea and Jerusalem, while Joppa marks the nearby setting from which God sent him to this Gentile audience.
