Chapter 10

¹ AND there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of that which is called the Italian band;
² A religious man, and fearing God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and always praying to God.
³ This man saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him, and saying to him: Cornelius.
⁴ And he, beholding him, being seized with fear, said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God.
⁵ And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
⁶ He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.
⁷ And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him.
⁸ To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.
⁹ And on the next day, whilst they were going on their journey, and drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up to the higher parts of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.
¹⁰ And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.
¹¹ And he saw the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth:
¹² Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.
¹³ And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
¹⁴ But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.
¹⁵ And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
¹⁶ And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.
¹⁷ Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself, what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon's house, stood at the gate.
¹⁸ And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
¹⁹ And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.
²⁰ Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
²¹ Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you are come?
²² Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
²³ Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following he arose, and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied him.
²⁴ And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.
²⁵ And it came to pass, that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him, Cornelius came to meet him, and falling at his feet adored.
²⁶ But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.
²⁷ And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
²⁸ And he said to them: You know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew, to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean.
²⁹ For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me?
³⁰ And Cornelius said: Four days ago, unto this hour, I was praying in my house, at the ninth hour, and behold a man stood before me in white apparel, and said:
³¹ Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
³² Send therefore to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.
³³ Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore all we are present in thy sight, to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord.
³⁴ And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive, that God is not a respecter of persons.
³⁵ But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him.
³⁶ God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.)
³⁷ You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,
³⁸ Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
³⁹ And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree.
⁴⁰ Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
⁴¹ Not to all the people, but to witnesses preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he arose again from the dead;
⁴² And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God, to be judge of the living and of the dead.
⁴³ To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.
⁴⁴ While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word.
⁴⁵ And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished, for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also.
⁴⁶ For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.
⁴⁷ Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we?
⁴⁸ And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they desired him to tarry with them some days.

Chapter 10

¹ There was a certain man in Cesarea, called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
² A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.
³ He saw in a vision evidently, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
⁴ And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thy 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 will tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
⁷ And when the angel who spoke to Cornelius had 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 to them, he sent them to Joppa.
⁹ On the morrow, as they were going on their journey, and drew nigh to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top 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 trance,
¹¹ And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending to him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
¹² In which were all manner of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping animals, 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 unclean.
¹⁵ And the voice spoke to him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
¹⁶ This was done thrice: and the vessel was received again into heaven.
¹⁷ Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and were standing before the gate,
¹⁸ And called, and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, lodged there.
¹⁹ While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee.
²⁰ Arise therefore, and go down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
²¹ Then Peter went down to the men who were sent to him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye have 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 warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee.
²³ Then he called them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
²⁴ And on the morrow they entered into Cesarea. 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 worshiped him.
²⁶ But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up: I myself also am a man.
²⁷ And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that had come together.
²⁸ And he said to them, Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come to one of another nation; but God hath shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
²⁹ Therefore I came to 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 fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
³¹ And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
³² Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he lodgeth in the house of one Simon a tanner, by the sea-side: who, when he cometh, will speak to thee.
³³ Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou hast come. Now therefore we are all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee from God.
³⁴ Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, In truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
³⁵ But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
³⁶ The word which God sent to 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 Judea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
³⁸ That God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.
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.
⁴⁰ Him God raised the third day, and showed him openly;
⁴¹ Not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
⁴² And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was ordained by God to be the Judge of the living and the dead.
⁴³ To him give all the prophets testimony, that through his name whoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
⁴⁴ While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them who heard the word.
⁴⁵ And they of the circumcision who believed, were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit.
⁴⁶ For they heard them speak in languages and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
⁴⁷ Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
⁴⁸ And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they requested him to tarry certain days.

¹⁴ Peter said, "Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."

Chapter 10

¹ But a certain man in Caesarea, -- by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italic,
² pious, and fearing God with all his house, [both] giving much alms to the people, and supplicating God continually,
³ -- saw plainly in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming unto him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
⁴ But he, having fixed his eyes upon him, and become full of fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thine alms have gone up for a memorial before God.
⁵ And now send men to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
⁶ He lodges with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.
⁷ And when the angel who was speaking to him had departed, having called two of his household and a pious soldier of those who were constantly with him,
⁸ and related all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
⁹ And on the morrow, as these were journeying and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house to pray, about the sixth hour.
¹⁰ And he became hungry and desired to eat. But as they were making ready an ecstasy came upon him:
¹¹ and he beholds the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as a great sheet, [bound] by [the] four corners [and] let down to the earth;
¹² in which were all the quadrupeds and creeping things of the earth, and the fowls of the heaven.
¹³ And there was a voice to him, Rise, Peter, slay and eat.
¹⁴ And Peter said, In no wise, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common or unclean.
¹⁵ And [there was] a voice again the second time to him, What God has cleansed, do not *thou* make common.
¹⁶ And this took place thrice, and the vessel was straightway taken up into heaven.
¹⁷ And as Peter doubted in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold also the men who were sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
¹⁸ and having called [some one], they inquired if Simon who was surnamed Peter was lodged there.
¹⁹ But as Peter continued pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee;
²⁰ but rise up, go down, and go with them, nothing doubting, because *I* have sent them.
²¹ And Peter going down to the men said, Behold, *I* am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye come?
²² And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearing God, and borne witness to by the whole nation of the Jews, has been divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and hear words from thee.
²³ Having therefore invited them in, he lodged them. And on the morrow, rising up he went away with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him.
²⁴ And on the morrow they came to Caesarea. But Cornelius was looking for them, having called together his kinsmen and [his] intimate friends.
²⁵ And when Peter was now coming in, Cornelius met him, and falling down did [him] homage.
²⁶ But Peter made him rise, saying, Rise up: *I* myself also am a man.
²⁷ And he went in, talking with him, and found many gathered together.
²⁸ And he said to them, *Ye* know how it is unlawful for a Jew to be joined or come to one of a strange race, and to *me* God has shewn to call no man common or unclean.
²⁹ Wherefore also, having been sent for, I came without saying anything against it. I inquire therefore for what reason ye have sent for me.
³⁰ And Cornelius said, Four days ago I had been [fasting] unto this hour, and the ninth [I was] praying in my house, and lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
³¹ and said, Cornelius, thy prayer has been heard, and thy alms have come in remembrance before God.
³² Send therefore to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea [who when he is come will speak to thee].
³³ Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and *thou* hast well done in coming. Now therefore *we* are all present before God to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
³⁴ And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,
³⁵ but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
³⁶ The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (*he* is Lord of all things,)
³⁷ *ye* know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached --
³⁸ Jesus who [was] of Nazareth: how God anointed him with [the] Holy Spirit and with power; who went through [all quarters] doing good, and healing all that were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
³⁹ *We* also [are] witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew, having hanged him on a cross.
⁴⁰ This [man] God raised up the third day and gave him to be openly seen,
⁴¹ not of all the people, but of witnesses who were chosen before of God, *us* who have eaten and drunk with him after he arose from among [the] dead.
⁴² And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that *he* it is who was determinately appointed of God [to be] judge of living and dead.
⁴³ To him all the prophets bear witness that every one that believes on him will receive through his name remission of sins.
⁴⁴ While Peter was yet speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were hearing the word.
⁴⁵ And the faithful of the circumcision were astonished, as many as came with Peter, that upon the nations also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out:
⁴⁶ for they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
⁴⁷ Can any one forbid water that these should not be baptised, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also [did]?
⁴⁸ And he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they begged him to stay some days.

Chapter 10

¹ Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, the captain of the Italian band of the army;
² A serious-minded man, fearing God with all his family; he gave much money to the poor, and made prayer to God at all times.
³ He saw in a vision, clearly, at about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of the Lord coming to him and saying to him, Cornelius!
⁴ And he, looking on him in fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your offerings have come up to God, and he has kept them in mind.
⁵ Now send men to Joppa, and get one Simon, named Peter,
⁶ Who is living with Simon, a leather-worker, whose house is by the sea.
⁷ And when the angel who said these words to him had gone away, he sent for two of his house-servants, and a God-fearing man of the army, one of those who were waiting on him at all times;
⁸ And having given them an account of everything, he sent them to Joppa.
⁹ Now the day after, when they were on their journey and were near the town, Peter went up to the top of the house for prayer, about the sixth hour:
¹⁰ And he was in need of food: but while they were getting it ready, a deep sleep came on him;
¹¹ And he saw the heavens opening, and a vessel coming down, like a great cloth let down on the earth,
¹² In which were all sorts of beasts and birds.
¹³ And a voice came to him, saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.
¹⁴ But Peter said, No, Lord; for I have never taken food which is common or unclean.
¹⁵ And the voice came to him a second time, What God has made clean, do not you make common.
¹⁶ And this was done three times: and then the vessel was taken back into heaven.
¹⁷ Now while Peter was in doubt as to the purpose of this vision, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made search for Simon's house, came to the door,
¹⁸ To see if Simon, named Peter, was living there.
¹⁹ And, while Peter was turning the vision over in his mind, the Spirit said to him, See, three men are looking for you.
²⁰ Go down, then, and go with them, doubting nothing, for I have sent them.
²¹ And Peter went down to the men, and said, I am the man you are looking for: why have you come?
²² And they said, Cornelius, a captain, an upright and God-fearing man, respected by all the nation of the Jews, had word from God by an angel to send for you to his house, and to give hearing to your words.
²³ So he took them in for the night. And the day after, he went with them, taking some of the brothers from Joppa with him.
²⁴ And the day after that, they came to Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having got together his relations and his near friends.
²⁵ And when Peter came in, Cornelius came to him and, falling down at his feet, gave him worship.
²⁶ But Peter, lifting him up, said, Get up, for I am a man as you are.
²⁷ And saying these words, he went in, and saw that a great number of people had come together;
²⁸ And he said to them, You yourselves have knowledge that it is against the law for a man who is a Jew to be in the company of one who is of another nation; but God has made it clear to me that no man may be named common or unclean:
²⁹ And so I came without question, when I was sent for. What then is your purpose in sending for me?
³⁰ And Cornelius said, Four days from now I was in my house in prayer at the ninth hour; and I saw before me a man in shining clothing,
³¹ Who said, Cornelius, your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your offerings are kept in his memory.
³² Send, then, to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you; he is living in the house of Simon, a leather-worker, by the sea.
³³ So, straight away, I sent for you; and you have done well to come. And now, we are all present before God, ready to give attention to all the things which the Lord has given you to say.
³⁴ Then Peter said, Truly, I see clearly that God is no respecter of persons:
³⁵ But in every nation, the man who has fear of him and does righteousness is pleasing to him.
³⁶ The word which he sent to the children of Israel, giving the good news of peace through Jesus Christ (who is Lord of all)--
³⁷ That word you yourselves have knowledge of, which was made public through all Judaea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism of which John was the preacher,
³⁸ About Jesus of Nazareth, how God gave the Holy Spirit to him, with power: and how he went about doing good and making well all who were troubled by evil spirits, for God was with him.
³⁹ And we are witnesses of all the things which he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they put to death, hanging him on a tree.
⁴⁰ On the third day God gave him back to life, and let him be seen,
⁴¹ Not by all the people, but by witnesses marked out before by God, even by us, who took food and drink with him after he came back from the dead.
⁴² And he gave us orders to give news of this to the people, and to give public witness that this is he whom God has made judge of the living and the dead.
⁴³ To him all the prophets give witness, that through his name everyone who has faith in him will have forgiveness of sins.
⁴⁴ While Peter was saying these words, the Holy Spirit came on all those who were hearing the word.
⁴⁵ And the Jews of the faith, who had come with Peter, were full of wonder, because the Holy Spirit was given to the Gentiles,
⁴⁶ And they were talking in tongues, and giving glory to God. Then Peter said,
⁴⁷ Will any man say that these may not have baptism who have been given the Holy Spirit as we have?
⁴⁸ And he gave orders for them to have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they kept him with them for some days.
