彼得和哥尼流
10 在凯撒利亚有一个人名叫哥尼流，是意大利营的百夫长。 2 他是个虔诚人，他和全家都敬畏 神。他多多周济百姓，常常向 神祷告。 3 有一天，约在下午三点钟，他在异象中清楚看见 神的一个使者进来，到他那里，对他说：“哥尼流。” 4 哥尼流定睛看他，惊惶地说：“主啊，什么事？”天使对他说：“你的祷告和你的周济已达到 神面前，蒙记念了。 5 现在你要派人往约帕去，请一位称为彼得的西门来。 6 他住在一个皮革匠西门的家里，房子就在海边。” 7 向他说话的天使离开后，哥尼流叫了两个仆人和常伺候他的一个虔诚的兵来， 8 把一切的事都讲给他们听，然后就派他们往约帕去。
9 第二天，他们走路将近那城，约在正午，彼得上房顶去祷告。 10 他觉得饿了，想要吃。那家的人正预备饭的时候，彼得魂游象外， 11 看见天开了，有一块好像大布的东西降下，四角[a]吊着缒在地上， 12 里面有地上各样四脚的走兽、爬虫和天上的飞鸟。 13 又有声音对他说：“彼得，起来！宰了吃。” 14 彼得却说：“主啊，绝对不可！凡污俗和不洁净的东西，我从来没有吃过。” 15 第二次有声音再对他说：“ 神所洁净的，你不可当作污俗的。” 16 这样一连三次，那东西随即收回天上去了。
17 正当彼得心里困惑，不知所看见的异象是什么意思时，哥尼流所差来的人已经找到了西门的家，站在门外， 18 喊着问有没有一位称为彼得的西门住在这里。 19 彼得还在思考那异象的时候，圣灵对他说：“有三个人来找你。 20 起来，下去，跟他们同去，不要疑惑，因为是我差他们来的。” 21 于是彼得下去见那些人，说：“我就是你们要找的人，你们是为了什么缘故在这里？” 22 他们说：“百夫长哥尼流是个义人，敬畏 神，为犹太全民族所称赞。他蒙一位圣天使指示，叫他请你到他家里去，要听你讲话。” 23 彼得就请他们进去住宿。
次日，他起身和他们同去，还有约帕的几个弟兄跟他一起去。 24 又次日，他[b]进入凯撒利亚，哥尼流已经请了他的亲朋好友在等候他们。 25 彼得一进去，哥尼流就迎接他，俯伏在他脚前拜他。 26 但是彼得拉他起来，说：“你起来，我自己也不过是人。” 27 彼得和他一边说话一边进去，见有好些人聚集， 28 就对他们说：“你们知道，犹太人和别国的人结交来往本是不合规矩的，但 神已经指示我，无论什么人都不可看作污俗或不洁净的。 29 所以，我一被邀请，没有推辞就来了。现在请问，你们为什么叫我来呢？” 30 哥尼流说：“四天前，这个时候，我在家中守着下午三点钟的祷告，忽然有一个人穿着明亮的衣裳站在我面前， 31 说：‘哥尼流，你的祷告已蒙垂听，你的周济在 神面前已蒙记念了。 32 你要派人往约帕去，请那称为彼得的西门来，他住在海边一个皮革匠西门的家里。’ 33 所以我立刻派人去请你。你来了真好。现在我们都在 神面前，要听主[c]吩咐你的一切话。”
在哥尼流家中讲道
34 彼得开口说：“我真的看出 神是不偏待人的。 35 不但如此，在各国中那敬畏他而行义的人都为他所悦纳。 36 神藉着耶稣基督—他是万有的主—传和平的福音，把这道传给以色列人。 37-38 这话在约翰传扬洗礼以后，从加利利起，传遍了犹太。 神怎样以圣灵和能力膏了拿撒勒人耶稣，这都是你们知道的。他到处奔波，行善事，医好凡被魔鬼压制的人，因为 神与他同在。 39 他在犹太人之地和耶路撒冷所行的一切事，有我们作见证人。他们竟把他挂在木头上杀了。 40 第三天， 神使他复活，使他显现出来； 41 不是显现给所有的人看，而是显现给 神预先所拣选为他作见证的人看，就是我们这些在他从死人中复活以后和他同吃同喝的人。 42 他吩咐我们传道给众人，证明他是 神所立定，要作审判活人、死人的审判者。 43 众先知也为这人作见证：凡信他的人，必藉着他的名得蒙赦罪。”
外邦人领受圣灵
44 彼得还在说这些话的时候，圣灵降在一切听道的人身上。 45 那些奉割礼的信徒和彼得同来，见圣灵的恩赐也浇在外邦人身上，就都惊奇； 46 因听见他们说方言[d]，称赞 神为大。于是彼得回答： 47 “这些人既受了圣灵，跟我们一样，谁能阻止用水给他们施洗呢？” 48 他就吩咐奉耶稣基督的名给他们施洗。于是他们请彼得住了几天。

베드로와 고넬료
10 가이사랴에 고넬료라는 사람이 있었다. 고넬료는 ‘이탈리아 부대’ 라는 로마 군대의 백인대장[a]이었다. 2 그와 그의 온 집안이 모두 경건하고 하나님을 두려워하는 사람들이었다. 고넬료는 가난한 유대 사람들을 많이 도와주었으며, 늘 하나님께 기도하였다. 3 어느 날 오후 세 시쯤에 고넬료는 환상을 보았다. 그는 하나님의 천사를 똑똑히 보았다. 천사는 고넬료에게 와서 “고넬료야!” 하고 불렀다.
4 고넬료는 두려운 마음으로 천사를 바라보며 물었다. “주님, 무슨 일이십니까?”
천사가 대답하였다. “하나님께서 네 기도와 네가 베푼 자선을 알고 계시며, 너를 기억하고 계신다. 5 이제 욥바로 사람을 보내어 베드로라고 하는 시몬을 데려오너라. 6 시몬은 바닷가에 사는 무두장이 시몬의 집에 묵고 있다.” 7 고넬료는 자기에게 말하던 천사가 떠나자, 하인 두 사람과 그의 전속 부관 가운데서 신앙심이 깊은 사람 하나를 불렀다. 8 고넬료는 자기에게 있었던 일을 그들에게 모두 이야기한 다음, 그들을 욥바로 보냈다.
9 이튿날 정오쯤, 그들이 욥바 가까이에 이르렀을 즈음에 베드로는 기도하러 지붕[b]으로 올라갔다. 10 그는 시장기가 들어 무엇을 좀 먹고 싶었다. 사람들이 음식을 장만하는 동안에, 베드로는 무아지경에 빠져 들어갔다. 11 그는 하늘이 열리고, 큰 보자기가 땅으로 내려오는 것을 보았다. 그 보자기는 네 귀퉁이가 들려 내려오고 있었다. 12 그 보자기에는 네 발 달린 온갖 짐승과, 파충류의 동물들과, 하늘을 나는 새들이 들어 있었다. 13 그리고 어떤 목소리가 이렇게 말하였다. “베드로야, 일어나서 이것들을 잡아먹어라!”
14 베드로가 대답하였다. “주님, 결코 그렇게 할 수 없습니다! 저는 순결하지 않거나 깨끗하지 않은 것은 결코 먹은 적이 없습니다.”
15 그 목소리가 두 번째로 말하였다. “하나님께서 너를 위해 깨끗하게 만들어 주신 것을 더럽다고 하지 말아라.” 16 이런 일이 세 번 거듭되고 나서 그 보자기는 곧 하늘로 들려 올라갔다.
17 베드로가, 자기가 본 환상이 무슨 뜻일까 생각하며 어리둥절해 있는데, 고넬료가 보낸 사람들이 시몬의 집을 찾아내어 바로 그 집 앞에 서 있었다. 18 그들은 큰 소리로 베드로라고 하는 시몬이 그 집에 묵고 있느냐고 물었다.
19 베드로가 아직도 그 환상에 대하여 생각하고 있는데, 성령께서 그에게 말씀하셨다. “시몬아, 세 사람이 너를 찾고 있다. 20 일어나 아래로 내려가거라. 그 사람들은 내가 보낸 사람들이니, 망설이지 말고 그 사람들과 함께 가거라.”
21 베드로는 아래로 내려가서 그 사람들에게 말하였다. “제가 여러분이 찾고 있는 사람입니다. 무슨 일로 오셨습니까?”
22 그 사람들이 대답하였다. “저희는 고넬료 백인대장님이 보내서 왔습니다. 그분은 의롭고 하나님을 두려워하는 분이며, 모든 유대 사람의 존경을 받고 있는 분입니다. 그분은 거룩한 천사에게서, 선생님을 집으로 모셔다가 말씀을 들으라는 지시를 받았습니다.” 23 베드로는 그들을 안으로 맞아들여 묵게 하였다.
이튿날 베드로는 그들과 함께 길을 나섰다. 욥바의 믿는 이들 몇이 함께 갔다. 24 그 다음날 베드로는 가이사랴에 닿았다. 고넬료는 친척들과 가까운 친구들을 불러모으고 그들을 기다리고 있었다. 25 베드로가 그 집에 들어서자, 고넬료는 그를 맞이하며 그의 발 앞에 엎드려 절하였다. 26 그러나 베드로는 그를 일어서게 하며 말하였다. “일어나십시오. 저도 그저 사람일 뿐입니다.”
27 베드로는 고넬료와 이야기를 나누면서 집 안으로 들어가, 많은 사람이 모여 있는 것을 보았다. 28 베드로는 그 사람들에게 말하였다. “유대 사람이 다른 나라 사람과 사귀거나 그 집에 들어가는 것이 율법에 어긋난다는 것을 여러분도 잘 아실 것입니다. 그러나 하나님께서는 어떤 사람도 순결하지 않거나 깨끗하지 않다고 생각해서는 안 된다는 것을 제게 보여 주셨습니다. 29 그리하여 여러분이 저를 부르러 사람들을 보냈을 때에, 저는 두말하지 않고 이렇게 왔습니다. 이제 무슨 일로 저를 부르셨는지 여쭈어 보아도 되겠습니까?”
30 그러자 고넬료가 대답하였다. “사흘 전[c] 이맘때쯤 저는 집에서 오후 세 시의 기도를 드리고 있었습니다. 그런데 갑자기 눈부신 옷을 입은 한 사람이 제 앞에 서서 31 말하였습니다. ‘하나님께서 네 기도를 들으셨고, 네가 가난한 사람들에게 베푼 자선을 기억하셨다. 32 욥바로 사람을 보내어 베드로라고 하는 시몬을 불러오너라. 시몬은 바닷가에 사는 무두장이 시몬의 집에 묵고 있다.’ 33 그래서 저는 곧 선생님께 사람들을 보냈고, 선생님께서는 이렇게 친절하게 와 주셨습니다. 우리는 주께서 우리에게 전하라고 선생님에게 명하신 모든 말씀을 들으려고 이렇게 하나님 앞에 모여 있습니다.”
베드로, 고넬료의 집에서 설교하다
34 베드로가 그들에게 말하기 시작하였다. “이제 저는, 하나님께서는 사람을 차별하지 않으시며, 35 당신을 두려워하고 바른 일을 하는 사람은 어느 나라 사람이든지 다 받아 주신다는 말이 정말이라는 것을 깨달았습니다. 36 여러분은 하나님께서 이스라엘 백성에게 보내신 소식, 곧 모든 사람의 주이신 예수 그리스도를 통하여 선포하신 평화의 기쁜 소식을 알고 계십니다. 37 그리고 요한[d]이 사람들에게 세례를 받으라고 선포한 뒤부터, 갈릴리에서 시작하여 온 유대에 걸쳐 일어난 일들도 알고 계십니다. 38 곧 하나님께서 나사렛 예수에게 성령과 권능을 부어 주시고,[e] 그분이 여러 곳을 다니면서 훌륭한 일을 하시고 악마의 세력에 억눌려 있는 사람들을 모두 고쳐 주신 일입니다. 예수께서는, 하나님께서 함께 계셨기 때문에 그런 일을 하실 수 있었습니다. 39 우리는 예수께서 유대와 예루살렘에서 하신 모든 일을 직접 보았습니다. 유대 사람들은 그분을 십자가에 매달아 죽였습니다. 40 그러나 하나님께서는 사흘째 되는 날에 그분을 다시 살리시고 사람들 앞에 나타나게 하셨습니다. 41 그러나 그분은 모든 유대 사람에게 나타나신 것이 아니라, 하나님께서 미리 증인으로 정해 놓으신 우리에게만 나타나셨습니다. 우리는 그분이 다시 살아나신 뒤에 그분과 함께 먹고 마셨습니다. 42 그리고 그분은, 하나님께서 자기를 산 사람들과 죽은 사람들의 심판자로 세우셨다는 것을 사람들에게 알리고 증언하라고 우리에게 명하셨습니다. 43 모든 예언자들은 그분에 대해 증언하기를, 그분을 믿는 사람은 모두 그분의 이름을 통하여 죄를 용서받는다고 하였습니다.”
이방인들에게도 성령이 내리다
44 베드로가 아직도 이런 말을 하고 있는 동안에, 그 말을 듣고 있는 모든 사람에게 성령이 내리셨다. 45 그리고 베드로와 함께 온 유대 사람[f] 신자들은 이방 사람[g]들에게도 성령의 선물이 내리는 것을 보고 깜짝 놀랐다. 46 그들은, 이방 사람들이 여러 가지 언어로 말하며 하나님을 찬양하는 것을 들었기 때문이다. 그때에 베드로가 말하였다. 47 “이 사람들도 우리와 마찬가지로 성령을 받았으니, 우리가 이들에게 물로 세례를 주는 것을 누가 막을 수 있겠습니까?” 48 베드로는 그 사람들에게 예수 그리스도의 이름으로 세례를 받으라고 명하였다. 그들은 베드로에게 며칠 더 머물기를 청하였다.

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.

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.

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 alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
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.
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 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 trance,
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet 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 unclean.
15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou 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 enquiry 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 Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and 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 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 he 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 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 common or 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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 up the third day, and shewed him openly;
41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
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.
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive 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 Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
