Деяния 10
New Russian Translation
Видение Корнилия
10 В Кесарии был человек по имени Корнилий, сотник, из полка, который носит название Италийский. 2 Корнилий, как и вся его семья, был человеком благочестивым и боящимся Бога[a], он щедро раздавал милостыню и постоянно молился Богу. 3 Однажды около девятого часа[b] Корнилию было видение. Он ясно видел Божьего ангела, который явился ему и сказал:
– Корнилий!
4 Он взглянул на него в ужасе и сказал:
– Что, господин?
Ангел ответил:
– Бог вспомнил о тебе, потому что твои молитвы и милостыни вознеслись к Нему, как приятный запах жертвоприношения. 5 Пошли людей в Яффу, чтобы они позвали Симона, которого называют Петром, 6 он остановился у кожевника Симона, в доме у моря.
7 Когда ангел, говоривший с ним, ушел, Корнилий позвал двух своих слуг и благочестивого солдата, исполнявшего его личные поручения. 8 Пересказав им все, что произошло, он послал их в Яффу.
Видение Петра
9 В полдень следующего дня, когда посланные уже подходили к городу, Петр поднялся на крышу дома помолиться[c]. 10 Он был голоден и хотел есть. Пока готовили пищу, Петру было видение. 11 Он видел раскрытые небеса и нечто похожее на широкое полотно, которое опускалось на землю, придерживаемое за четыре конца. 12 В этом полотне были всякие виды четвероногих животных, пресмыкающиеся и птицы. 13 Затем голос сказал ему:
– Встань, Петр, заколи и съешь.
14 – Ни в коем случае, Господи! – ответил Петр. – Я никогда не ел ничего оскверненного или нечистого.
15 Тогда голос сказал ему во второй раз:
– Не называй нечистым то, что Бог очистил.
16 Так было три раза, и тотчас полотно было поднято на небо.
17 Петр все недоумевал, что бы значило это видение, когда люди, посланные Корнилием, расспросив про дом Симона, подошли и остановились у ворот. 18 Они стали спрашивать, здесь ли остановился Симон, называемый Петром. 19 Петр все еще обдумывал видение, когда Дух сказал ему:
– Тебя ищут три человека. 20 Вставай и спускайся вниз. Иди с ними без колебаний, потому что это Я послал их.
21 Петр спустился вниз и сказал этим людям:
– Я тот, кого вы ищете. По какому делу вы пришли?
22 Они ответили:
– Сотник Корнилий, человек праведный и богобоязненный, уважаемый всем народом иудейским, получил от святого ангела повеление пригласить тебя в свой дом и выслушать, что ты ему скажешь.
23 Тогда Петр пригласил их войти в дом и оказал им гостеприимство.
Петр в доме Корнилия
На следующий день Петр отправился с ними, в сопровождении нескольких братьев из Яффы. 24 На другой день они прибыли в Кесарию. Корнилий уже ждал их, созвав своих родственников и близких друзей. 25 Когда Петр пришел, Корнилий встретил его и, павши к его ногам, поклонился ему. 26 Но Петр поднял его, сказав:
– Встань, я тоже человек.
27 Разговаривая с Корнилием, Петр вошел в дом, где уже собралось много народу. 28 Он сказал им:
– Вы сами знаете, что иудею возбраняется общаться с иноплеменником и заходить к нему в дом[d]. Но Бог показал мне, что я ни одного человека не должен называть оскверненным или нечистым, 29 и поэтому, когда за мной пришли, я пошел без возражений. Позвольте же мне спросить теперь, зачем вы послали за мной?
30 Корнилий ответил:
– Четвертого дня в это самое время, в девятом часу[e] я молился в своем доме, как вдруг передо мной предстал человек в сияющей одежде. 31 «Корнилий, – сказал он, – твоя молитва услышана, и твои милостыни вспомянуты перед Богом. 32 Пошли людей в Яффу за Симоном, которого еще называют Петром, он гостит в доме кожевника Симона, что у моря». 33 Я сразу послал за тобой, и хорошо, что ты пришел. Сейчас все мы здесь, перед Богом, и хотим выслушать то, что Господь повелел тебе сказать.
34 Петр начал говорить:
– Теперь я понимаю, что Бог действительно беспристрастен, 35 и в каждом народе Ему угоден тот, кто боится Его и поступает по правде! 36 Он послал народу Израиля Радостную Весть о том, что мы можем иметь мир с Ним через Иисуса Христа, Который является Господом всех людей. 37 Вы знаете о тех событиях, которые происходили по всей Иудее, начиная от Галилеи, после крещения, о котором возвещал Иоанн: 38 о том, как Бог помазал Святым Духом и силой Иисуса из Назарета, и Он ходил, совершая добрые дела и исцеляя всех, кто был во власти дьявола, потому что с Ним был Бог. 39 Мы свидетели всему тому, что Иисус делал в стране иудеев и в Иерусалиме. Его убили, повесив на дереве, 40 но Бог на третий день воскресил Его и дал Ему являться людям – 41 не всему народу, а заранее избранным Богом свидетелям, то есть нам, и мы ели и пили с Ним после того, как Он воскрес из мертвых. 42 Он повелел нам проповедовать людям и свидетельствовать о том, что именно Он и есть предназначенный Богом Судья живых и мертвых. 43 О Нем свидетельствуют все пророки, утверждая, что каждый верующий в Него получает прощение грехов благодаря Его имени.
44 Петр еще говорил это, когда на всех слушавших его Весть сошел Святой Дух. 45 Верующие из обрезанных[f], которые пришли с Петром, были удивлены, что дар Святого Духа был излит и на язычников, 46 потому что они слышали, как те говорили на незнакомых языках и славили Бога. Тогда Петр сказал:
47 – Может ли кто-нибудь помешать быть крещенными водой этим людям, которые получили Духа Святого так же, как и мы?
48 И он велел им принять крещение во имя Иисуса Христа. Потом хозяева попросили Петра остаться с ними еще на несколько дней.

New International Version
Cornelius Calls for Peter
10 At Caesarea(A) there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. 2 He and all his family were devout and God-fearing;(B) he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. 3 One day at about three in the afternoon(C) he had a vision.(D) He distinctly saw an angel(E) of God, who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
4 Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked.
The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering(F) before God.(G) 5 Now send men to Joppa(H) to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6 He is staying with Simon the tanner,(I) whose house is by the sea.”
7 When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier who was one of his attendants. 8 He told them everything that had happened and sent them to Joppa.(J)
Peter’s Vision(K)
9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof(L) to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.(M) 11 He saw heaven opened(N) and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”
14 “Surely not, Lord!”(O) Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”(P)
15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”(Q)
16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.
17 While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision,(R) the men sent by Cornelius(S) found out where Simon’s house was and stopped at the gate. 18 They called out, asking if Simon who was known as Peter was staying there.
19 While Peter was still thinking about the vision,(T) the Spirit said(U) to him, “Simon, three[a] men are looking for you. 20 So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.”(V)
21 Peter went down and said to the men, “I’m the one you’re looking for. Why have you come?”
22 The men replied, “We have come from Cornelius the centurion. He is a righteous and God-fearing man,(W) who is respected by all the Jewish people. A holy angel told him to ask you to come to his house so that he could hear what you have to say.”(X) 23 Then Peter invited the men into the house to be his guests.
Peter at Cornelius’s House
The next day Peter started out with them, and some of the believers(Y) from Joppa went along.(Z) 24 The following day he arrived in Caesarea.(AA) Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence. 26 But Peter made him get up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”(AB)
27 While talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people.(AC) 28 He said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile.(AD) But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean.(AE) 29 So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?”
30 Cornelius answered: “Three days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes(AF) stood before me 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and remembered your gifts to the poor. 32 Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, who lives by the sea.’ 33 So I sent for you immediately, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.”
34 Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism(AG) 35 but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.(AH) 36 You know the message(AI) God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news(AJ) of peace(AK) through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.(AL) 37 You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached— 38 how God anointed(AM) Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing(AN) all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.(AO)
39 “We are witnesses(AP) of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross,(AQ) 40 but God raised him from the dead(AR) on the third day and caused him to be seen. 41 He was not seen by all the people,(AS) but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate(AT) and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 He commanded us to preach to the people(AU) and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead.(AV) 43 All the prophets testify about him(AW) that everyone(AX) who believes(AY) in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”(AZ)
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on(BA) all who heard the message. 45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter(BB) were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out(BC) even on Gentiles.(BD) 46 For they heard them speaking in tongues[b](BE) and praising God.
Then Peter said, 47 “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water.(BF) They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.”(BG) 48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.(BH) Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.

New King James Version
Cornelius Sends a Delegation
10 There was a certain man in (A)Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian [a]Regiment, 2 (B)a devout man and one who (C)feared God with all his household, who gave [b]alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always. 3 About [c]the ninth hour of the day (D)he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
4 And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, “What is it, lord?”
So he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God. 5 Now (E)send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter. 6 He is lodging with (F)Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. (G)He[d] will tell you what you must do.” 7 And when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those who waited on him continually. 8 So when he had explained all these things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Peter’s Vision
9 The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, (H)Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about [e]the sixth hour. 10 Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance 11 and (I)saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. 13 And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”
14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! (J)For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.”
15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, (K)“What God has [f]cleansed you must not call common.” 16 This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.
Summoned to Caesarea
17 Now while Peter [g]wondered within himself what this vision which he had seen meant, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate. 18 And they called and asked whether Simon, whose surname was Peter, was lodging there.
19 While Peter thought about the vision, (L)the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are seeking you. 20 (M)Arise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
21 Then Peter went down to the men [h]who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, “Yes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason have you come?”
22 And they said, “Cornelius the centurion, a just man, one who fears God and (N)has a good reputation among all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by a holy angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you.” 23 Then he invited them in and lodged them.
On the next day Peter went away with them, (O)and some brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
Peter Meets Cornelius
24 And the following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 As Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him. 26 But Peter lifted him up, saying, (P)“Stand up; I myself am also a man.” 27 And as he talked with him, he went in and found many who had come together. 28 Then he said to them, “You know how (Q)unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But (R)God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean. 29 Therefore I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me?”
30 So Cornelius said, [i]“Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, (S)a man stood before me (T)in bright clothing, 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, (U)your prayer has been heard, and (V)your [j]alms are remembered in the sight of God. 32 Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea. [k]When he comes, he will speak to you.’ 33 So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. Now therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things commanded you by God.”
Preaching to Cornelius’ Household
34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: (W)“In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But (X)in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is (Y)accepted by Him. 36 The word which God sent to the [l]children of Israel, (Z)preaching peace through Jesus Christ—(AA)He is Lord of all— 37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and (AB)began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: 38 how (AC)God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who (AD)went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, (AE)for God was with Him. 39 And we are (AF)witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom [m]they (AG)killed by hanging on a tree. 40 Him (AH)God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, 41 (AI)not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us (AJ)who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. 42 And (AK)He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify (AL)that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge (AM)of the living and the dead. 43 (AN)To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, (AO)whoever believes in Him will receive (AP)remission[n] of sins.”
The Holy Spirit Falls on the Gentiles
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, (AQ)the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. 45 (AR)And [o]those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, (AS)because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.
Then Peter answered, 47 “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit (AT)just as we have?” 48 (AU)And he commanded them to be baptized (AV)in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days.
