DAY 11
AC-10:17 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,
AC-10:18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed
Peter, were lodged there.
AC-10:19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto
him, Behold, three men seek thee.
AC-10:20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them,
doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
AC-10:21 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?
AC-10:22 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 warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his
house, and to hear words of thee.
AC-10:23 Then called he them in, and lodged [them]. And on the
morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa
accompanied him.
AC-10:24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And
Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and
near friends.
AC-10:25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell
down at his feet, and worshipped [him].
AC-10:26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am
a man.
AC-10:27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that
were come together.
AC-10:28 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 showed me that I should not call any
man common or unclean.
AC-10:29 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?
AC-10:30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this
hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man
stood before me in bright clothing,
AC-10:31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms
are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
AC-10:32 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.
AC-10:33 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.
AC-10:34 Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I
perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
AC-10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh
righteousness, is accepted with him.
AC-10:36 The word which [God] sent unto the children of Israel,
preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
AC-10:37 That word, [I say], ye know, which was published
throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism
which John preached;
AC-10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and
with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were
oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
AC-10:39 And we are 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:
AC-10:40 Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly;
AC-10:41 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.
AC-10:42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to
testify that it is he which was ordained of God [to be] the Judge of
quick and dead.
AC-10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his
name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
AC-10:44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on
all them which heard the word.
AC-10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were
astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles
also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
AC-10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.
Then answered Peter,
AC-10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be
baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
AC-10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the
Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
*AC-11:1 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard
that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
AC-11:2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of
the circumcision contended with him,
AC-11:3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat
with them.
