AC-10:1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a
centurion of
the band called the Italian [band],
AC-10:2 [A] devout [man], and one that feared God with all his
house, which
gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
AC-10:3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of
the day an angel
of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
AC-10:4 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.
AC-10:5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for [one] Simon,
whose surname is
Peter:
AC-10:6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by
the sea side: he
shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
AC-10:7 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;
AC-10:8 And when he had declared all [these] things unto them,
he sent them to
Joppa.
AC-10:9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew
nigh unto the
city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth
hour:
AC-10:10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but
while they made
ready, he fell into a trance,
AC-10:11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending
unto him, as
it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down
to the earth:
AC-10:12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the
earth, and wild
beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
AC-10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and
eat.
AC-10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten
any thing that
is common or unclean.
AC-10:15 And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time,
What God hath
cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
AC-10:16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up
again into
heaven.
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
