Acts 10
There
was
a
certain
man
in
Caesarea
called
Cornelius,
a
centurion
of
the
band
called
the
Italian
band,
2 A
devout
man,
and
one
that
feared
God
with
all
his
house,
which
gave
much
a
alms
to
the
people,
and
prayed
to
God
alway.
3 He
saw
in
a
a
vision
b
evidently
about
the
ninth
hour
of
the
day
an
c
angel
of
God
coming
in
to
him,
and
saying
unto
him,
Cornelius.
4 And
when
he
looked
on
him,
he
was
afraid,
and
said,
What
is
it,
Lord?
And
he
said
unto
him,
Thy
prayers
and
thine
alms
are
come
up
for
a
memorial
before
God.
5 And
now
send
men
to
Joppa,
and
call
for
one
Simon,
whose
surname
is
Peter:
6 He
lodgeth
with
one
Simon
a
tanner,
whose
house
is
by
the
sea
side:
he
shall
tell
thee
what
thou
oughtest
to
do.
7 And
when
the
angel
which
spake
unto
Cornelius
was
departed,
he
called
two
of
his
household
servants,
and
a
devout
soldier
of
them
that
waited
on
him
continually;
8 And
when
he
had
declared
all
these
things
unto
them,
he
sent
them
to
Joppa.
9 On
the
morrow,
as
they
went
on
their
journey,
and
drew
nigh
unto
the
city,
Peter
went
up
upon
the
a
housetop
to
pray
about
the
sixth
hour:
10 And
he
became
very
hungry,
and
would
have
eaten:
but
while
they
made
ready,
he
fell
into
a
a
trance,
11 And
saw
a
heaven
opened,
and
a
certain
vessel
descending
unto
him,
as
it
had
been
a
great
sheet
b
knit
at
the
four
corners,
and
let
down
to
the
earth:
12 Wherein
were
all
manner
of
fourfooted
beasts
of
the
earth,
and
wild
beasts,
and
creeping
things,
and
fowls
of
the
air.
13 And
there
came
a
voice
to
him,
Rise,
Peter;
kill,
and
eat.
14 But
Peter
said,
Not
so,
Lord;
for
I
have
never
eaten
any
thing
that
is
common
or
a
unclean.
15 And
the
voice
spake
unto
him
again
the
second
time,
What
God
hath
a
cleansed,
that
call
not
thou
b
common.
16 This
was
done
thrice:
and
the
vessel
was
received
up
again
into
heaven.
17 Now
while
Peter
doubted
in
himself
what
this
vision
which
he
had
seen
should
mean,
behold,
the
men
which
were
sent
from
Cornelius
had
made
inquiry
for
Simon's
house,
and
stood
before
the
gate,
18 And
called,
and
asked
whether
Simon,
which
was
surnamed
Peter,
were
lodged
there.
19 While
Peter
thought
on
the
vision,
the
a
Spirit
said
unto
him,
Behold,
three
men
seek
thee.
20 Arise
therefore,
and
get
thee
down,
and
a
go
with
them,
doubting
nothing:
for
I
have
sent
them.
21 Then
Peter
went
down
to
the
men
which
were
sent
unto
him
from
Cornelius;
and
said,
Behold,
I
am
he
whom
ye
seek:
what
is
the
cause
wherefore
ye
are
come?
22 And
they
said,
Cornelius
the
centurion,
a
just
man,
and
one
that
feareth
God,
and
of
good
report
among
all
the
nation
of
the
Jews,
was
a
warned
from
God
by
an
holy
angel
to
send
for
thee
into
his
house,
and
to
hear
words
of
thee.
23 Then
called
he
them
in,
and
lodged
them.
And
on
the
morrow
Peter
went
away
with
them,
and
certain
brethren
from
Joppa
accompanied
him.
24 And
the
morrow
after
they
entered
into
Caesarea.
And
Cornelius
waited
for
them,
and
had
called
together
his
kinsmen
and
near
friends.
25 And
as
Peter
was
coming
in,
Cornelius
met
him,
and
fell
down
at
his
feet,
and
worshipped
him.
26 But
Peter
took
him
up,
saying,
Stand
up;
I
myself
also
am
a
a
man.
27 And
as
he
talked
with
him,
he
went
in,
and
found
many
that
were
come
together.
28 And
he
said
unto
them,
Ye
know
how
that
it
is
an
unlawful
thing
for
a
man
that
is
a
Jew
to
keep
company,
or
come
unto
one
of
another
nation;
but
God
hath
shewed
me
that
I
should
not
call
any
man
a
common
or
b
unclean.
29 Therefore
came
I
unto
you
without
gainsaying,
as
soon
as
I
was
sent
for:
I
ask
therefore
for
what
intent
ye
have
sent
for
me?
30 And
Cornelius
said,
Four
days
ago
I
was
a
fasting
until
this
hour;
and
at
the
ninth
hour
I
prayed
in
my
house,
and,
behold,
a
b
man
stood
before
me
in
bright
clothing,
31 And
said,
Cornelius,
thy
prayer
is
heard,
and
thine
alms
are
had
in
remembrance
in
the
sight
of
God.
32 Send
therefore
to
Joppa,
and
call
hither
Simon,
whose
surname
is
Peter;
he
is
lodged
in
the
house
of
one
Simon
a
tanner
by
the
sea
side:
who,
when
he
cometh,
shall
speak
unto
thee.
33 Immediately
therefore
I
sent
to
thee;
and
thou
hast
well
done
that
thou
art
come.
Now
therefore
are
we
all
here
present
before
God,
to
hear
all
things
that
are
commanded
thee
of
God.
34 Then
Peter
opened
his
mouth,
and
said,
Of
a
truth
I
perceive
that
God
is
no
a
respecter
of
persons:
35 But
in
every
a
nation
he
that
b
feareth
him,
and
c
worketh
d
righteousness,
is
e
accepted
with
him.
36 The
a
word
which
God
sent
unto
the
children
of
Israel,
preaching
peace
by
Jesus
Christ:
(he
is
Lord
of
all:)
37 That
word,
I
say,
ye
know,
which
was
published
throughout
all
Judaea,
and
began
from
Galilee,
after
the
baptism
which
John
preached;
38 How
God
a
anointed
Jesus
of
Nazareth
with
the
b
Holy
Ghost
and
with
power:
who
went
about
doing
good,
and
healing
all
that
were
c
oppressed
of
the
devil;
for
d
God
was
with
him.
39 And
we
are
a
witnesses
of
all
things
which
he
did
both
in
the
land
of
the
Jews,
and
in
Jerusalem;
whom
they
slew
and
hanged
on
a
tree:
40 Him
God
a
raised
up
the
third
day,
and
b
shewed
him
openly;
41
a
Not
to
all
the
people,
but
unto
witnesses
chosen
before
of
God,
even
to
us,
who
did
eat
and
drink
with
him
after
he
rose
from
the
dead.
42 And
he
commanded
us
to
a
preach
unto
the
people,
and
to
testify
that
it
is
he
which
was
b
ordained
of
God
to
be
the
c
Judge
of
quick
and
dead.
43 To
him
give
all
the
prophets
a
witness,
that
through
his
b
name
whosoever
c
believeth
in
him
shall
receive
d
remission
of
sins.
44 While
Peter
yet
spake
these
words,
the
Holy
Ghost
fell
on
all
them
which
heard
the
word.
45 And
they
of
the
circumcision
which
believed
were
astonished,
as
many
as
came
with
Peter,
because
that
on
the
a
Gentiles
also
was
poured
out
the
b
gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost.
46 For
they
heard
them
speak
with
a
tongues,
and
magnify
God.
Then
answered
Peter,
47 Can
any
man
forbid
water,
that
these
should
not
be
baptized,
which
have
received
the
a
Holy
Ghost
as
well
as
we?
48 And
he
commanded
them
to
be
a
baptized
in
the
name
of
the
Lord.
Then
prayed
they
him
to
tarry
certain
days.
