10 There was a tis man anēr · de in en Caesarea Kaisareia named onoma Cornelius Kornēlios, a centurion hekatontarchēs from ek the cohort speira that ho was called kaleō the Italian Italikos, a devout eusebēs man and kai one who feared phobeomai · ho God theos with syn all pas · ho his autos household oikos, gave poieō alms eleēmosynē generously polys to the ho people laos, and kai prayed deomai to ho God theos continually dia pas. He saw in en a vision horama clearly phanerōs, about hōsei peri the ninth enatos hour hōra of the ho day hēmera, an angel angelos of ho God theos coming eiserchomai to pros him autos and kai saying legō to him autos, “ Cornelius Kornēlios.” · de Staring atenizō at him autos and kai becoming ginomai afraid emphobos, he ho said legō, “ What tis is it eimi, Lord kyrios?” And de he said legō to him autos, · ho Your sy prayers proseuchē and kai · ho your sy acts eleēmosynē of charity have gone anabainō up as eis a memorial mnēmosynon before emprosthen · ho God theos. And kai now nyn send pempō men anēr to eis Joppa Ioppē and kai send metapempō for a man tis named Simon Simōn who hos is called epikaleō Peter Petros. He houtos is lodging xenizō with para a man tis named Simon Simōn, a tanner byrseus, whose hos house oikia is eimi by para the sea thalassa.” When hōs · de the ho angel angelos who ho spoke laleō to him autos had gone away aperchomai, he called phōneō two dyo of his ho servants oiketēs and kai a devout eusebēs soldier stratiōtēs from among ho those who waited proskartereō on him autos, and kai when he had related exēgeomai everything hapas to them autos, he sent apostellō them autos to eis · ho Joppa Ioppē.

The ho · de following epaurion day , as they ekeinos were on their journey hodoiporeō and kai approaching engizō the ho city polis, Peter Petros went up anabainō on epi the ho housetop dōma to pray proseuchomai about peri the sixth hektos hour hōra. 10 And de he became ginomai hungry prospeinos and kai wanted thelō to eat geuomai, but de while they autos were preparing paraskeuazō it, he autos fell ginomai into epi a trance ekstasis, 11 and kai he saw theōreō the ho heavens ouranos opened anoigō and kai a certain tis object skeuos descending katabainō, like hōs a great megas sheet othonē, being let down kathiēmi by its four tessares corners archē upon epi the ho earth . 12 In en it hos were hyparchō all pas kinds of · ho four-footed tetrapous animals , and kai reptiles herpeton of the ho earth , and kai birds peteinon of the ho air ouranos. 13 Then kai a voice phōnē came ginomai to pros him autos, “ Get anistēmi up , Peter Petros; slaughter thuō and kai eat esthiō!” 14 · ho But de Peter Petros said legō, “ By no means mēdamōs, Lord kyrios; for hoti I have never oudepote eaten esthiō anything pas common koinos or kai unclean akathartos.” 15 And kai a voice phōnē came again palin, a second time ek, to pros him autos, “ What hos · ho God theos has made clean katharizō, you sy must not consider common koinoō.” 16 This houtos · de happened ginomai three times epi, and kai immediately the ho object skeuos was taken analambanō up to eis · ho heaven ouranos.

17 Now de while hōs Peter Petros was perplexed diaporeō within en himself heautou · ho as to what tis the ho vision horama that hos he had seen might an mean eimi, behold idou, the ho men anēr · ho sent apostellō by hypo · ho Cornelius Kornēlios, having made inquiry dierōtaō for the ho house oikia of ho Simon Simōn, stood ephistēmi at epi the ho gate pylōn 18 and kai called phōneō out to ask pynthanomai whether ei Simon Simōn who ho was called epikaleō Peter Petros was staying xenizō there enthade. 19 · ho · de As Peter Petros was thinking dienthumeomai about peri the ho vision horama, the ho Spirit pneuma said legō to him autos, “ Behold idou, three treis men anēr are looking zēteō for you sy. 20 But alla get anistēmi up , go down katabainō, and kai accompany poreuō syn them autos without mēdeis hesitation diakrinō, because hoti I egō have sent apostellō them autos.” 21 And de Peter Petros went down katabainō to pros the ho men anēr and said legō, “ Behold idou, I egō am eimi the one hos you are looking zēteō for . What tis is the ho reason aitia for dia which hos you have come pareimi?” 22 And de they ho said legō, “ Cornelius Kornēlios, a centurion hekatontarchēs, an upright dikaios man anēr and kai one who fears phobeomai · ho God theos, who is well spoken martyreō of by hypo the ho whole holos nation ethnos of the ho Jews Ioudaios, was directed chrēmatizō by hypo a holy hagios angel angelos to send metapempō for you sy to come to eis · ho his autos house oikos and kai to hear akouō words rhēma from para you sy.” 23 So oun he invited eiskaleomai them autos in and gave xenizō them lodging . On the ho · de next epaurion day he got anistēmi up and set exerchomai out with syn them autos, and kai some tis of the ho brothers adelphos · ho from apo Joppa Ioppē went synerchomai with him autos. 24 And de on the ho following epaurion day they entered eiserchomai · ho Caesarea Kaisareia. · ho · de Cornelius Kornēlios was eimi expecting prosdokaō them autos and had called synkaleō together · ho his autos relatives syngenēs and kai · ho close anankaios friends philos. 25 When hōs · de Peter Petros entered eiserchomai, · ho Cornelius Kornēlios met synantaō him autos · ho and fell piptō at epi his ho feet pous and worshiped proskyneō him. 26 · ho But de Peter Petros made him autos get egeirō up , saying legō, “ Stand anistēmi up ; I egō myself autos am eimi also kai just a man anthrōpos.” 27 And kai as he talked synomileō with him autos, he went eiserchomai inside and kai found heuriskō many people polys gathered synerchomai. 28 And te he said phēmi to pros them autos, “ You yourselves hymeis know epistamai how hōs unlawful athemitos it is eimi for a man anēr who is a Jew Ioudaios to associate kollaō with or ē to visit proserchomai anyone of another allophylos race , but kagō God theos showed deiknymi me · ho that I should call legō no mēdeis person anthrōpos common koinos or ē unclean akathartos. 29 Therefore dio, · kai when I was summoned metapempō, I came erchomai without raising any objection anantirrētōs. So oun I ask pynthanomai for what tis reason logos did you send metapempō for me egō?” 30 And kai · ho Cornelius Kornēlios said phēmi, “ Four tetartos days hēmera ago apo at mechri this houtos · ho hour hōra, I was eimi praying proseuchomai at the ho ninth enatos hour in en · ho my egō house oikos, and kai behold idou, a man anēr stood histēmi before enōpion me egō in en bright lampros clothing esthēs 31 and kai he said phēmi, ‘ Cornelius Kornēlios, your sy prayer proseuchē has been heard eisakouō · ho and kai · ho your sy acts eleēmosynē of charity have been remembered mimnēskomai before enōpion · ho God theos. 32 Send pempō therefore oun to eis Joppa Ioppē and kai invite metakaleō Simon Simōn who hos is called epikaleō Peter Petros. He houtos is staying xenizō in en the house oikia of Simon Simōn, a tanner byrseus, by para the sea thalassa.’ 33 So oun immediately exautēs I sent pempō for pros you sy, and te you sy did poieō well kalōs by coming paraginomai. Now nyn therefore oun we hēmeis are pareimi all pas here pareimi in the presence enōpion of ho God theos to hear akouō all pas that ho has been commanded prostassō you sy by hypo the ho Lord kyrios.”

34 So de Peter Petros opened anoigō his ho mouth stoma and said legō: “ Truly epi alētheia I understand katalambanō that hoti God theos is eimi not ou one who shows partiality prosōpolēmptēs; · ho 35 but alla in en every pas nation ethnos · ho anyone who fears phobeomai him autos and kai does ergazomai what is right dikaiosynē is eimi acceptable dektos to him autos 36 As for the ho word logos that hos he sent apostellō to the ho sons hyios of Israel Israēl, preaching euangelizō good news of peace eirēnē through dia Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos ( he houtos is eimi Lord kyrios of all pas), 37 you yourselves hymeis know oida the account rhēma that ho spread ginomai throughout kata all holos · ho Judea Ioudaia, beginning archō from apo · ho Galilee Galilaia after meta the ho baptism baptisma that hos John Iōannēs proclaimed kēryssō, 38 Jesus Iēsous · ho of apo Nazareth Nazareth, how hōs God theos anointed chriō him autos · ho with the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma and kai with power dynamis; who hos went dierchomai about doing euergeteō good and kai healing iaomai all pas who ho were oppressed katadynasteuō by hypo the ho devil diabolos, because hoti · ho God theos was eimi with meta him autos. 39 And kai we hēmeis are witnesses martys of all pas that hos he did poieō both te in en the ho country chōra of the ho Jews Ioudaios and kai in en Jerusalem Ierousalēm, whom hos also kai they put to death anaireō by hanging kremannymi him on epi a tree xylon. 40 This houtos man · ho God theos raised egeirō up on en the ho third tritos day hēmera and kai allowed didōmi him autos to be ginomai seen emphanēs, 41 not ou to all pas the ho people laos but alla to witnesses martys who ho had been previously chosen procheirotoneō by hypo · ho God theos, to us hēmeis, who hostis ate synesthiō and kai drank sympinō with him autos after meta he autos · ho rose anistēmi from ek the dead nekros. 42 And kai he commanded parangellō us hēmeis to preach kēryssō to the ho people laos and kai to testify diamartyromai that hoti this houtos is eimi he ho who is appointed horizō by hypo · ho God theos to be judge kritēs of the living zaō and kai the dead nekros. 43 To him houtos all pas the ho prophets prophētēs bear martyreō witness , that everyone pas who ho believes pisteuō in eis him autos receives lambanō forgiveness aphesis of sins hamartia through dia · ho his autos name onoma.”

44 While Peter Petros was still eti speaking laleō · ho · ho these houtos words rhēma, the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma came epipiptō · ho on epi all pas those ho who were listening akouō to the ho message logos. 45 And kai the ho believers pistos, from ek among the circumcised peritomē, who hosos came synerchomai with · ho Peter Petros, were amazed existēmi that hoti even kai on epi the ho Gentiles ethnos was the ho gift dōrea of the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma poured ekchunnomai out . 46 For gar they were hearing akouō them autos speaking laleō with tongues glōssa and kai magnifying megalynō · ho God theos. Then tote Peter Petros declared apokrinomai, 47  Surely no mēti one tis is able dynamai to withhold kōlyō the ho water hydōr so that ho these people houtos cannot be baptized baptizō who hostis received lambanō the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma · ho just kai as hōs we hēmeis did, can he ? 48 And de he ordered prostassō them autos to be baptized baptizō in en the ho name onoma of Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos. Then tote they asked erōtaō him autos to remain epimenō for some tis days hēmera.

10 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of the [a]band called the Italian band, a devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always. He saw in a vision openly, as it were about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, Cornelius. And he, fastening his eyes upon him, and being affrighted, said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are gone up for a memorial before God. And now send men to Joppa, and fetch one Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. And when the angel that spake unto him was departed, he called two of his household-servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually; and having rehearsed all things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.

Now on the morrow, as they were 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 hungry, and desired to eat: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance; 11 and he beholdeth the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth: 12 wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts and creeping things of the earth and birds of the heaven. 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 anything that is common and unclean. 15 And a voice came unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common. 16 And this was done thrice: and straightway the vessel was received up into heaven.

17 Now while Peter was much perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate, 18 and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, were lodging there. 19 And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. 20 But arise, and get thee down, and go with them, nothing doubting: for I have sent them. 21 And Peter went down to the men, and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come? 22 And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man and one that feareth God, and well reported of by all the nation of the Jews, was warned of God by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee. 23 So he called them in and lodged them.

And on the morrow he arose and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him. 24 And on the morrow [b]they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kinsmen and his near friends. 25 And when it came to pass that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and [c]worshipped him. 26 But Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man. 27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and findeth many come together: 28 and he said unto them, Ye yourselves know [d]how it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to join himself or come unto one of another nation; and yet unto me hath God showed that I should not call any man common or unclean: 29 wherefore also I came without gainsaying, when I was sent for. I ask therefore with what intent ye sent for me. 30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago, until this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel, 31 and saith, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. 32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call unto thee Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side. 33 Forthwith therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all things that have been commanded thee of the Lord. 34 And 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 acceptable to him. 36 [e]The word which he sent unto the children of Israel, preaching [f]good tidings of peace by Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all)— 37 that saying ye yourselves know, which was published throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; 38 even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit 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 country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom also they slew, hanging him on a tree. 40 Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest, 41 not to all the people, but unto witnesses that were chosen before of God, even to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he charged us to preach unto the people, and to testify that this is he who is ordained of God to be the Judge of the living and the dead. 43 To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one that believeth on him shall receive remission of sins.

44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them that heard the word. 45 And they of the circumcision that believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 47 Can any man forbid the water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we? 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
