Acts 10:42

Good News for the Gentiles

41not 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.42And 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.43All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”
