(KJV)

When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

(NASB2020)

When they heard this, they ^{▼▼Lit became silent}quieted down and ^bglorified God, saying, “Well then, God has also granted to the Gentiles the ^crepentance that leads to life.”

(NET2full)

When they heard this, ^{▼▼tn Grk “these things.”} they ceased their objections ^{▼▼tn Or “became silent,” but this would create an apparent contradiction with the subsequent action of praising God. The point, in context, is that they ceased objecting to what Peter had done.} and praised ^{▼▼tn Or “glorified.”} God, saying, “So then, God has granted the repentance ^{▼▼sn Here the summary phrase for responding to the gospel is the repentance that leads to life. Note how the presence of life is tied to the presence of the Spirit (cf. John 4:7-42; 7:37-39).} that leads to life even to the Gentiles.” ^{▼▼sn In the Greek text the phrase even to the Gentiles is in an emphatic position.}
