哥尼流邀请彼得
10 在凯撒利亚有一位隶属意大利营的百夫长名叫哥尼流。 2 他和全家都是虔诚敬畏上帝的人,他慷慨周济穷人,常常祷告。 3 一天,大约下午三点,他在异象中清楚地看见一位上帝的天使进来呼唤他:“哥尼流!”
4 哥尼流惊恐地注视着他,问:“主啊,什么事?”
天使回答说:“你的祷告和周济穷人的善行已经在上帝面前蒙悦纳。 5 如今你要派人去约帕,请一个叫西门·彼得的人来。 6 他住在一个叫西门的皮革匠家里,房子在海边。”
7 向他说话的天使离开后,哥尼流叫来两个家仆和自己的一个敬虔侍卫, 8 把刚才的事告诉他们,然后差他们去约帕。
彼得见异象
9 第二天中午,他们快要到达约帕时,彼得上屋顶去祷告。 10 他觉得肚子饿了,想吃东西。那家人正在预备午饭的时候,彼得进入异象, 11 看见天开了,有一样东西好像一大块布,四角吊着降到地上, 12 里面有各种天上的飞禽、地上的爬虫和四足的走兽。 13 然后有声音对他说:“彼得,起来,宰了吃!”
14 彼得却说:“主啊!这可不行!我从未吃过任何污秽不洁之物。”
15 那声音又一次对他说:“上帝已经洁净的,你不可再称之为不洁净。” 16 这样一连三次之后,那块布就被收回天上去了。
17 彼得不知所措,正在猜测这异象到底是什么意思,哥尼流的仆人们刚好找来了, 18 正站在门口大声问西门·彼得是否住在这里。
19 彼得还在苦苦思索的时候,圣灵又对他说:“彼得,外面有三个人来找你, 20 快下楼跟他们去,不必多虑,他们是我差来的。” 21 彼得就下去见他们,说:“我就是你们要找的人,有什么事?”
22 他们说:“哥尼流百夫长是个又正直又敬畏上帝的人,连犹太人都称赞他。上帝的天使指示他请你到他家里去,好听你的指教。”
23 彼得就留他们住了一夜。第二天,彼得和他们以及几个约帕的弟兄一同出发了。 24 又过了一天,他们到达凯撒利亚。哥尼流已经请来亲朋好友,在等候他们。 25 他一看见彼得,就迎上去俯伏在他脚前拜他。 26 彼得连忙把他扶起来,说:“快起来,我只不过是人。”
27 彼得和他边走边谈,进屋后,见聚集了许多人, 28 就对他们说:“你们都知道,按照犹太人的传统,我们不可以和外族人来往。但上帝已经指示我不可把任何人视为污秽不洁。 29 所以,我受到邀请后,毫不犹豫地来了。请问你们为什么请我来?”
30 哥尼流说:“四天前,大约也是下午三点这个时候,我在家里祷告,忽然有一个身穿明亮衣服的人站在我面前, 31 说,‘哥尼流,上帝已经垂听了你的祷告,也悦纳你周济穷人的善行。 32 你派人去约帕把那位叫西门·彼得的人请来,他住在海边一个叫西门的皮革匠家。’ 33 于是我立刻派人去请你。你能来,真是荣幸,现在我们都在上帝面前,想聆听主吩咐你传给我们的话。”
福音临到外族人
34 彼得说:“现在我深深地明白,上帝不偏待人。 35 无论哪一个民族,只要敬畏祂,秉公行义,都会蒙祂接纳。 36 上帝借着万物的主宰——耶稣基督把平安的福音传给以色列人。 37 你们都知道,自从约翰宣讲洗礼以来,从加利利开始,整个犹太地区发生了什么事。 38 你们也知道,拿撒勒人耶稣是上帝用圣灵和大能膏立的。祂周游四方,广行善事,医好被魔鬼压制的人,因为上帝与祂同在。 39 我们亲眼目睹了耶稣在犹太全境和耶路撒冷所做的一切。可是,世人却把祂钉死在十字架上。 40 但第三天,上帝使祂从死里复活,并且向人显现, 41 不是向所有的人显现,而是向被上帝预先拣选为祂做见证的人显现,就是我们这些在祂复活以后与祂一同吃喝过的人。 42 祂命令我们向世人传道,见证祂就是上帝指派来审判活人和死人的那位。 43 所有先知也都为祂做见证说,‘谁信祂,谁的罪就能借着祂的名得到赦免。’”
44 彼得还在说话的时候,圣灵就降临在每一个听道的人身上。 45 跟彼得一起来的那些严守割礼的信徒,看见圣灵的恩赐也浇灌到外族人身上,都很惊奇。 46 因为他们听见这些人又说方言又赞美上帝。于是彼得说: 47 “既然这些人已经和我们一样领受了圣灵,谁能阻止他们接受洗礼呢?” 48 彼得吩咐他们奉耶稣基督的名受洗。之后,他们又请彼得住了几天。

哥尼流邀請彼得
10 在凱撒利亞有一位隸屬義大利營的百夫長名叫哥尼流。 2 他和全家都是虔誠敬畏上帝的人,他慷慨賙濟窮人,常常禱告。 3 一天,大約下午三點,他在異象中清楚地看見一位上帝的天使進來呼喚他:「哥尼流!」
4 哥尼流驚恐地注視著他,問:「主啊,什麼事?」
天使回答說:「你的禱告和賙濟窮人的善行已經在上帝面前蒙悅納。 5 如今你要派人去約帕,請一個叫西門·彼得的人來。 6 他住在一個叫西門的皮革匠家裡,房子在海邊。」
7 向他說話的天使離開後,哥尼流叫來兩個家僕和自己的一個敬虔侍衛, 8 把剛才的事告訴他們,然後差他們去約帕。
彼得見異象
9 第二天中午,他們快要到達約帕時,彼得上屋頂去禱告。 10 他覺得肚子餓了,想吃東西。那家人正在預備午飯的時候,彼得進入異象, 11 看見天開了,有一樣東西好像一大塊布,四角吊著降到地上, 12 裡面有各種天上的飛禽、地上的爬蟲和四足的走獸。 13 然後有聲音對他說:「彼得,起來,宰了吃!」
14 彼得卻說:「主啊!這可不行!我從未吃過任何污穢不潔之物。」
15 那聲音又一次對他說:「上帝已經潔淨的,你不可再稱之為不潔淨。」 16 這樣一連三次之後,那塊布就被收回天上去了。
17 彼得不知所措,正在猜測這異象到底是什麼意思,哥尼流的僕人們剛好找來了, 18 正站在門口大聲問西門·彼得是否住在這裡。
19 彼得還在苦苦思索的時候,聖靈又對他說:「彼得,外面有三個人來找你, 20 快下樓跟他們去,不必多慮,他們是我差來的。」 21 彼得就下去見他們,說:「我就是你們要找的人,有什麼事?」
22 他們說:「哥尼流百夫長是個又正直又敬畏上帝的人,連猶太人都稱讚他。上帝的天使指示他請你到他家裡去,好聽你的指教。」

30 哥尼流說:「四天前,大約也是下午三點這個時候,我在家裡禱告,忽然有一個身穿明亮衣服的人站在我面前, 31 說,『哥尼流,上帝已經垂聽了你的禱告,也悅納你賙濟窮人的善行。 32 你派人去約帕把那位叫西門·彼得的人請來,他住在海邊一個叫西門的皮革匠家。』 33 於是我立刻派人去請你。你能來,真是榮幸,現在我們都在上帝面前,想聆聽主吩咐你傳給我們的話。」
福音臨到外族人
34 彼得說:「現在我深深地明白,上帝不偏待人。 35 無論哪一個民族,只要敬畏祂,秉公行義,都會蒙祂接納。 36 上帝藉著萬物的主宰——耶穌基督把平安的福音傳給以色列人。 37 你們都知道,自從約翰宣講洗禮以來,從加利利開始,整個猶太地區發生了什麼事。 38 你們也知道,拿撒勒人耶穌是上帝用聖靈和大能膏立的。祂周遊四方,廣行善事,醫好被魔鬼壓制的人,因為上帝與祂同在。 39 我們親眼目睹了耶穌在猶太全境和耶路撒冷所做的一切。可是,世人卻把祂釘死在十字架上。 40 但第三天,上帝使祂從死裡復活,並且向人顯現, 41 不是向所有的人顯現,而是向被上帝預先揀選為祂做見證的人顯現,就是我們這些在祂復活以後與祂一同吃喝過的人。 42 祂命令我們向世人傳道,見證祂就是上帝指派來審判活人和死人的那位。 43 所有先知也都為祂做見證說,『誰信祂,誰的罪就能藉著祂的名得到赦免。』」
44 彼得還在說話的時候,聖靈就降臨在每一個聽道的人身上。 45 跟彼得一起來的那些嚴守割禮的信徒,看見聖靈的恩賜也澆灌到外族人身上,都很驚奇。 46 因為他們聽見這些人又說方言又讚美上帝。於是彼得說: 47 「既然這些人已經和我們一樣領受了聖靈,誰能阻止他們接受洗禮呢?」 48 彼得吩咐他們奉耶穌基督的名受洗。之後,他們又請彼得住了幾天。
Gevurot 10
Orthodox Jewish Bible
10 Now a certain ish in Caesarea by name Cornelius, a centurion from what was called the Italian cohort,
2 A devout man, a yire Elohim, as was all his bais, who practiced much tzedakah for the benefit of Am Yisroel, and davened to Hashem continually.
3 Cornelius clearly saw in a chazon (vision) lav davka (approximately) at the ninth hour of the day (three o’clock in the afternoon) a malach Hashem having come to him and having said to him, "Cornelius!" [TEHILLIM 55:17]
4 And having looked intently at him and having become afraid, Cornelius said, "What is it, Adon?" The malach said to him, "Your tefillos and your giving tzedakah have ascended as a zikaron (memorial) before Hashem. [TEHILLIM 20:3]
5 "Now dispatch some anashim to Yafo and send for a certain Shimon who is also called Kefa.
6 "This one is staying with a certain Shimon, a tanner, whose bais is by the sea."
7 And, when the malach speaking to him had departed, Cornelius summoned shnayim of his household avadim and a devout chaiyal (soldier) from among the ones in his service,
8 Having explained everything, sent them to Yafo.
9 Now on the next day, as these were traveling and drawing near to Yafo, around the sixth hour (noon), Kefa went up on to the roof to daven (pray).
10 And Kefa became hungry, and was wanting to have a meal; but while they were preparing it, Kefa fell into a trance;
11 And he sees Shomayim having been opened, and a certain object descending like a large linen cloth lowered by four corners upon haAretz.
12 In this were all the fourfooted animals and remasim haAdamah (creepers of the earth) and oph haShomayim (birds of heaven, birds of the air).
13 And there came a bat kol (voice) to him, "Get up, Kefa, kill and eat!"
14 But Kefa said, "Chalilah li, Adonoi! For I have never eaten basar piggul (unclean meat) or shikkutz tameh (abominable unclean thing)." [VAYIKRA 11:4-20; 20-25; DEVARIM 14:3-20; YECHEZKEL 4:14]
15 And the bat kol came to Kefa again for a second time, "What Hashem made tahor (clean), you should no longer regard as tameh (unclean)." [BERESHIS 9:3]
16 And this happened shloshah pe’amim; and immediately the object was taken up into Shomayim.
17 Now, while Kefa was greatly perplexed within himself as to what the chazon which he saw might be, hinei, the anashim, who had been sent by Cornelius, and who had, by inquiring, found the bais of Shimon, stood at the gate.
18 And, calling out, they were asking if Shimon, the one called Kefa, is staying here.
19 And while Kefa was reflecting on the chazon, the Ruach Hakodesh said to him, "Hinei, shloshah anashim are looking for you.
20 "But get up and go downstairs and accompany them without apprehensions, for I myself have sent them."
21 And Kefa went downstairs to the anashim and said, "Hinei, I am the one whom you are seeking; for what reason did you come?"
22 And they said, "Cornelius, a centurion, an ish tzaddik, and a yire Elohim with a shem tov with all the Am HaYehudim, was directed by a malach kadosh to summon you to his bais and to hear a message from you."
23 Therefore, having invited them in, Kefa gave them hachnosas orchim (hospitality, lodging). And on the next day Kefa got up and went away with them, and some of the Achim b’Moshiach from Yafo accompanied him.
24 And on the following day, Moshiach’s Shliach Shimon Kefa entered into Caesarea, and Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his krovey mishpokhot (relatives) and close friends.
25 Now when it came about that Kefa entered, Cornelius met him, falling at his feet to pay him reverence. [DANIEL 7:14; 3:18]
26 Kefa made him stand up, saying, "Get up. I myself am only a ben Adam like everyone else."
27 And as he conversed with Cornelius, Kefa entered and finds many having assembled,
28 And he said to them, "You have da’as that it is asur (prohibited) for an ish Yehudi to associate with or to approach a nokhri (foreigner). And yet to me Hashem showed to call no one shikkutz (abomination) or tameh (unclean).
29 "Therefore, also, when summoned, I came, raising no objections. And so I ask for what reason you summoned me?"
30 Cornelius said, "Four days ago to this hour, I was davening in my bais at the ninth hour, and, hinei, a being stood before me enrobed in shining radiance,
31 "And he said, ‘Cornelius, your tefillah was heard and your tzedakah is remembered before Hashem.
32 ‘Therefore, send to Yafo and summon Shimon who is called Kefa. He is staying in the bais of Shimon the tanner by the sea.’
33 "At once I sent for you and you did well having come. Now, therefore, we all are present before Hashem to hear all the things that have been commanded to you by Adonoi."
34 And opening his mouth, Kefa said, "Omein, I have binah that Hashem is not one to show masso panim (partiality), [Dt 10:17; 2Ch 19:7; Job 34:19]
35 "But in every nation the ones who have yirat Shomayim and work Tzidkat Hashem are acceptable to him.
36 "The dvar which he sent to the Bnei Yisroel, preaching shalom through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua (Hu Adon Kol!) [Isa 52:7; Ps 107:20; 147:18 TARGUM HASHIVIM]
37 "That word, I say, you know the thing which took place throughout all Yehudah, having begun from the Galil after the tevilah of teshuva which Yochanan preached;
38 "You know Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua from Natzeret, how Hashem anointed him with the Ruach Hakodesh and with ko’ach (power), and how he went about doing mitzvot and giving refu’ah shlemah to all the ones being oppressed by Samael (the devil) because Hashem was with him. [YESHAYAH 61:1]
39 "We are edim (witnesses) of all things which he did both in the countryside of Yehudah and in Yerushalayim. And they also put him to death, having hanged nivlato al haEtz (his body on the Tree, DEVARIM 21:23).
40 "This one Hashem made to stand up alive again on the Yom HaShelishi and granted to him to be visible,
41 "Not to Klal Yisroel, but to edim which had been chosen beforehand by Hashem, that is, to us who ate and drank together with him at Tish after the Techiyas HaMoshiach.
42 "Moshiach gave mitzvah to us to preach to the people and to bear solemn edut that this one is the one having been appointed by Hashem as Shofet HaChayyim v’HaMesim.
43 "To this one all the Nevi’im bear witness that through ha-Shem of him [Moshiach Yehoshua, Yeshua] everyone who has emunah in him has selicha (forgiveness) of chatta’'im (averos, sins).
44 While Kefa was still speaking these words, the Ruach Hakodesh fell upon all the ones hearing the dvar.
45 And the Messianic Jews who had come with Kefa were mishpoyel (standing in awe) that also upon the Goyim the matnat HaRuach Hakodesh has been poured out.
46 For they were hearing them speaking in leshonot and exalting Hashem. Then Kefa answered,
47 "Surely no one can refuse the mikveh mayim for these to be given Moshiach’s tevilah of teshuva who have received the Ruach Hakodesh just as we did, can he?" [Ac 2:4; cf Lk 3:16; Ac 11:16]
48 And Kefa directed for them to be given Moshiach’s tevilah of teshuva in the Shem of Moshiach Yehoshua (Yeshua). Then they asked him to remain some yamim.
