Acts 10:1-8

New Matthew Bible

The vision that Peter saw. How he was sent to Cornelius. The heathen also receive the Spirit, and are baptized.

10 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a captain of the soldiers of Italy, ² a devout man, and one who feared God with all his household. He gave many alms to the people, and prayed to God always. ³ The same man saw in a vision clearly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him and saying to him, Cornelius! ⁴ When he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? He said to him, Your prayers and your alms have come up into remembrance before God. ⁵ And now, send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, named also Peter. ⁶ He lodges with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the seaside. ⁷ He will tell you what you ought to do.

When the angel who spoke to Cornelius had departed, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those that waited on him, ⁸ and told them all the matter, and sent them to Joppa.
