使徒行传 10
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
哥尼流蒙主指示
10 在恺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,多多周济百姓,常常祷告神。 3 有一天,约在申初,他在异象中明明看见神的一个使者进去,到他那里,说:“哥尼流!” 4 哥尼流定睛看他,惊怕说:“主啊,什么事呢?”天使说:“你的祷告和你的周济达到神面前,已蒙记念了。 5 现在你当打发人往约帕去,请那称呼彼得的西门来。 6 他住在海边一个硝皮匠西门的家里,房子在海边上。” 7 向他说话的天使去后,哥尼流叫了两个家人和常伺候他的一个虔诚兵来, 8 把这事都述说给他们听,就打发他们往约帕去。
彼得见异象
9 第二天,他们行路将近那城,彼得约在午正上房顶去祷告。 10 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,有一物降下,好像一块大布,系着四角,缒在地上, 12 里面有地上各样四足的走兽和昆虫,并天上的飞鸟。 13 又有声音向他说:“彼得,起来,宰了吃!” 14 彼得却说:“主啊,这是不可的!凡俗物和不洁净的物,我从来没有吃过。” 15 第二次有声音向他说:“神所洁净的,你不可当做俗物。” 16 这样一连三次,那物随即收回天上去了。
哥尼流所差的人来寻彼得
17 彼得心里正在猜疑之间,不知所看见的异象是什么意思,哥尼流所差来的人已经访问到西门的家,站在门外, 18 喊着问:“有称呼彼得的西门住在这里没有?” 19 彼得还思想那异象的时候,圣灵向他说:“有三个人来找你。 20 起来,下去,和他们同往,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:“我就是你们所找的人。你们来是为什么缘故?” 22 他们说:“百夫长哥尼流是个义人,敬畏神,为犹太通国所称赞。他蒙一位圣天使指示,叫他请你到他家里去,听你的话。” 23 彼得就请他们进去,住了一宿。
彼得往哥尼流家传道
次日起身和他们同去,还有约帕的几个弟兄同着他去。 24 又次日,他们进入恺撒利亚。哥尼流已经请了他的亲属密友等候他们。 25 彼得一进去,哥尼流就迎接他,俯伏在他脚前拜他。 26 彼得却拉他,说:“你起来,我也是人。” 27 彼得和他说着话进去,见有好些人在那里聚集, 28 就对他们说:“你们知道,犹太人和别国的人亲近来往本是不合例的,但神已经指示我,无论什么人都不可看做俗而不洁净的。 29 所以我被请的时候,就不推辞而来。现在请问:你们叫我来有什么意思呢?” 30 哥尼流说:“前四天这个时候,我在家中守着申初的祷告,忽然有一个人穿着光明的衣裳,站在我面前, 31 说:‘哥尼流,你的祷告已蒙垂听,你的周济达到神面前已蒙记念了。 32 你当打发人往约帕去,请那称呼彼得的西门来,他住在海边一个硝皮匠西门的家里。’ 33 所以我立时打发人去请你。你来了很好!现今我们都在神面前,要听主所吩咐你的一切话。”
彼得宣传耶稣
34 彼得就开口说:“我真看出神是不偏待人, 35 原来各国中那敬畏主、行义的人都为主所悦纳。 36 神借着耶稣基督——他是万有的主——传和平的福音,将这道赐给以色列人。 37 这话在约翰宣传洗礼以后,从加利利起,传遍了犹太。 38 神怎样以圣灵和能力膏拿撒勒人耶稣,这都是你们知道的。他周流四方,行善事,医好凡被魔鬼压制的人,因为神与他同在。 39 他在犹太人之地并耶路撒冷所行的一切事,有我们作见证。他们竟把他挂在木头上杀了! 40 第三日,神叫他复活,显现出来, 41 不是显现给众人看,乃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里复活以后和他同吃同喝的人。 42 他吩咐我们传道给众人,证明他是神所立定的,要做审判活人、死人的主。 43 众先知也为他作见证说:‘凡信他的人,必因他的名得蒙赦罪。’”
圣灵降在众人身上
44 彼得还说这话的时候,圣灵降在一切听道的人身上。 45 那些奉割礼、和彼得同来的信徒,见圣灵的恩赐也浇在外邦人身上,就都稀奇, 46 因听见他们说方言,称赞神为大。 47 于是彼得说:“这些人既受了圣灵,与我们一样,谁能禁止用水给他们施洗呢?” 48 就吩咐奉耶稣基督的名给他们施洗。他们又请彼得住了几天。

Traducción en lenguaje actual
Cornelio recibe un mensaje especial
10 En la ciudad de Cesarea vivía un hombre llamado Cornelio. Era capitán de un grupo de cien soldados romanos, al que se conocía como Regimiento Italiano. 2 Cornelio y todos los de su casa amaban y adoraban a Dios. Además, Cornelio ayudaba mucho a los judíos pobres, y siempre oraba a Dios.
3 Un día, a eso de las tres de la tarde, Cornelio tuvo una visión, en la que claramente veía que un ángel de Dios llegaba a donde él estaba y lo llamaba por su nombre. 4 Cornelio sintió miedo, pero miró fijamente al ángel y le respondió: «¿Qué desea mi Señor?»
El ángel le dijo:
«Dios ha escuchado tus oraciones, y está contento con todo lo que haces para ayudar a los pobres. 5 Envía ahora mismo dos hombres al puerto de Jope. Diles que busquen allí a un hombre llamado Pedro, 6 que está viviendo en casa de un curtidor de pieles llamado Simón. La casa está junto al mar.»
7 Tan pronto como el ángel se fue, Cornelio llamó a dos de sus sirvientes. Llamó también a un soldado de su confianza que amaba a Dios, 8 y luego de contarles todo lo que le había pasado, los envió a Jope.
Pedro recibe un mensaje especial
9 Al día siguiente, mientras el soldado y los sirvientes se acercaban al puerto de Jope, Pedro subió a la azotea de la casa para orar. Era como el mediodía. 10 De pronto, sintió hambre y quiso comer algo.
Mientras le preparaban la comida, Pedro tuvo una visión. 11 Vio que el cielo se abría, y que bajaba a la tierra algo como un gran manto, colgado de las cuatro puntas. 12 En el manto había toda clase de animales, y hasta reptiles y aves. 13 Pedro oyó la voz de Dios, que le decía: «¡Pedro, mata y come de estos animales!»
14 Pedro respondió: «¡No, Señor, de ninguna manera! Nuestra ley no nos permite comer carne de esos animales, y yo jamás he comido nada que esté prohibido.»
15 Dios le dijo: «Pedro, si yo digo que puedes comer de estos animales, no digas tú que son malos.»
16 Esto ocurrió tres veces. Luego, Dios retiró el manto y lo subió al cielo. 17 Mientras tanto, Pedro se quedó admirado, pensando en el significado de esa visión.
En eso, los hombres que Cornelio había enviado llegaron a la casa de Simón 18 y preguntaron: «¿Es aquí donde vive un hombre llamado Pedro?»
19 Pedro seguía pensando en lo que había visto, pero el Espíritu del Señor le dijo: «Mira, unos hombres te buscan. 20 Baja y vete con ellos. No te preocupes, porque yo los he enviado.»
21 Entonces Pedro bajó y les dijo a los hombres:
—Yo soy Pedro. ¿Para qué me buscan?
22 Ellos respondieron:
—Nos envía el capitán Cornelio, que es un hombre bueno y obedece a Dios. Todos los judíos lo respetan mucho. Un ángel del Señor se le apareció y le dijo: “Haz que Pedro venga a tu casa, y escucha bien lo que va a decirte.”
23 Pedro les dijo:
—Entren en la casa, y pasen aquí la noche.
Al amanecer, Pedro y aquellos hombres se prepararon y salieron hacia la ciudad de Cesarea. Con ellos fueron algunos miembros de la iglesia del puerto de Jope.
Pedro habla en la casa de Cornelio
24 Un día después llegaron a Cesarea. Cornelio estaba esperándolos, junto con sus familiares y un grupo de sus mejores amigos, a quienes él había invitado. 25 Cuando Pedro estuvo frente a la casa, Cornelio salió a recibirlo, y con mucho respeto se arrodilló ante él. 26 Pedro le dijo: «Levántate Cornelio, que no soy ningún dios.»
27 Luego se pusieron a conversar, y entraron juntos en la casa. Allí Pedro encontró a toda la gente que se había reunido para recibirlo, 28 y les dijo:
—Ustedes deben saber que a nosotros, los judíos, la ley no nos permite visitar a personas de otra raza ni estar con ellas. Pero Dios me ha mostrado que yo no debo rechazar a nadie. 29 Por eso he aceptado venir a esta casa. Díganme, ¿para qué me han hecho venir?
30 Cornelio le respondió:
—Hace cuatro días, como a las tres de la tarde, yo estaba aquí en mi casa, orando. De pronto se me apareció un hombre con ropa muy brillante, 31 y me dijo: “Cornelio, Dios ha escuchado tus oraciones, y ha tomado en cuenta todo lo que has hecho para ayudar a los pobres. 32 Envía a Jope unos mensajeros, para que busquen a un hombre llamado Pedro, que está viviendo en casa de un curtidor de pieles llamado Simón. La casa está junto al mar.”
33 »Enseguida envié a mis mensajeros, y tú has aceptado muy amablemente mi invitación. Todos estamos aquí, listos para oír lo que Dios te ha ordenado que nos digas, y estamos seguros de que él nos está viendo en este momento.
34 Entonces Pedro comenzó a decirles:
—Ahora comprendo que para Dios todos somos iguales. 35 Dios ama a todos los que lo obedecen, y también a los que tratan bien a los demás y se dedican a hacer lo bueno, sin importar de qué país sean. 36 Éste es el mismo mensaje que Dios enseñó a los israelitas por medio de Jesús, el Mesías y Señor que manda sobre todos; para que por medio de él todos vivan en paz con Dios.
37 »Ustedes ya saben lo que ha pasado en toda la región de Judea. Todo comenzó en Galilea, después de que Juan bautizó a 38 Jesús de Nazaret y Dios le dio el poder del Espíritu Santo. Como Dios estaba con él, Jesús hizo siempre lo bueno y sanó a todos los que vivían bajo el poder del diablo. 39 Nosotros vimos todas las cosas que Jesús hizo en la ciudad de Jerusalén y en todo el territorio judío. Y también vimos cuando lo mataron clavándolo en una cruz. 40 Pero tres días después Dios lo resucitó y nos permitió verlo de nuevo, 41 y comer y beber con él. Dios no permitió que todos lo vieran. Sólo nos lo permitió a nosotros, porque ya nos había elegido para anunciar que Jesús vive.
42 »Jesús nos ha encargado anunciar que Dios lo ha nombrado juez de todo el mundo, y que él juzgará a los que aún viven y a los que ya han muerto.
43 »Los profetas hablaron acerca de Jesús, y dijeron que Dios perdonará a todos los que confíen en él. Sólo por medio de él podemos alcanzar el perdón de Dios.»
44 Todavía estaba hablando Pedro con ellos cuando, de repente, el Espíritu Santo vino sobre todos los que estaban escuchando el mensaje. 45 Los que habían venido de Jope con Pedro se quedaron sorprendidos al ver que el Espíritu Santo había venido también sobre los que no eran judíos. 46 Y los oían hablar y alabar a Dios en idiomas desconocidos.
47 Pedro les dijo a sus compañeros: «Dios ha enviado el Espíritu Santo para dirigir la vida de gente de otros países, así como nos lo envió a nosotros, los judíos. Ahora nadie puede impedir que también los bauticemos.»
48 Habiendo dicho esto, Pedro ordenó que todos fueran bautizados en el nombre de Jesús, el Mesías. Luego, ellos le rogaron a Pedro que se quedara en su casa algunos días más.
Acts 10
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.

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.
