"When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed." They rejoiced exceedingly that 174 Christ recognized them as the children of God, and with grateful hearts they listened to the word preached. Those who believed were zealous in communicating the gospel message to others, and thus "the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region."

"Da hedningerne hørte dette, blev de glade og priste Herrens ord, og de kom til troen, så mange, som var bestemt til evigt liv." De glædede sig inderligt over, at Kristus regnede dem for at være Guds børn, og med taknemmelige hjerter lyttede de til de ord, som blev talt. De, som troede, var ivrige efter at meddele evangeliets budskab til andre, og således "udbredtes Herrens ord over hele egnen."
