Second Reading for Baptism of the Lord Year A

Acts 10:34-38

Summary: Peter tells Cornelius and his guests that God accepts anyone who respects Him and does good, mentioning Jesus' message of peace and healing.

Peter's Message at Cornelius' House

Peter proceeded to speak to those gathered in the house of Cornelius, saying: “In truth, I see that God shows no partiality.

Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him.

You know the word that he sent to the Israelites as he proclaimed peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all, what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power.

He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.”
