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, 2 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. 3 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.” 4 · 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. 5 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. 6 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.” 7 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, 8 and kai when he had related exēgeomai everything hapas to them autos, he sent apostellō them autos to eis · ho Joppa Ioppē.
9 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 gē. 12 In en it hos were hyparchō all pas kinds of · ho four-footed tetrapous animals , and kai reptiles herpeton of the ho earth gē, 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 mē 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.

Peter Teaches Cornelius
10 At Caesarea [C a coastal city, 25 miles south of Mount Carmel; a center of Roman government for Palestine] there was a man named Cornelius, ·an officer [L a centurion; C an officer in charge of about a hundred soldiers] in the Italian ·group of the Roman army [L cohort; regiment; C a cohort was about six hundred soldiers]. 2 Cornelius was a ·religious [pious; godly] man. He and all ·the other people who lived in his house [his household] ·worshiped the true God [L feared God; C “God-fearers” were Gentiles who worshiped the one true God of Israel]. He gave much of his money to ·the poor [or the Jewish people; L the people] and prayed to God often. 3 ·One afternoon about three o’clock [L About the ninth hour of the day], Cornelius clearly saw a vision. An angel of God came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
4 Cornelius stared at the angel. He ·became afraid [was terrified] and said, “What do you want, ·Lord [or sir]?”
The angel said, “·God has heard your prayers. He has seen that you give to the poor, and he remembers you [L Your prayers and your alms have gone up to God as a memorial/memorial offering]. 5 Send some men now to Joppa [9:36] to bring back a man named Simon who is also called Peter. 6 He is staying [as a guest] with a man, ·also named Simon, who is a tanner [or named Simon Byrseus; 9:43] and has a house beside the sea.” 7 When the angel who spoke to Cornelius left, Cornelius called two of his ·servants [household slaves/servants] and a soldier, a ·religious [devout; pious; godly] man who ·worked for him [or was on his staff; or was loyal to him]. 8 Cornelius explained everything to them and sent them to Joppa.
9 About ·noon [L the sixth hour] the next day as they ·came near Joppa [L journeyed and drew near the city], Peter was going up to the roof [C in ancient Israel flat roofs were used as living spaces and for storage] to pray. 10 He was hungry and wanted to eat, but while the food was being prepared, he ·had a vision [or fell into a trance]. 11 He saw heaven opened and ·something [an object] coming down that looked like a big sheet being lowered to earth by its four corners. 12 In it were all kinds of ·animals [L four-footed creatures], reptiles, and birds [L of the air/sky]. 13 Then a voice said to Peter, “Get up, Peter; kill and eat.”
14 But Peter said, “·No [Absolutely not], Lord! I have never eaten food that is ·unholy [profane; common] or ·unclean [ritually defiled; C the OT food laws differentiated Israelites from Gentiles; Lev. 11; Ezek. 4:13–15].”
15 But the voice said to him again, “God has made these things clean, so don’t call them ·‘unholy’ [‘profane’; ‘common’]!” 16 This happened three times, and at once the ·sheet [L object; thing] was taken back to heaven.
17 While Peter was ·wondering [perplexed about] what this vision meant, [L look; T behold] the men Cornelius sent had found Simon’s house and were standing at the gate. 18 They asked, “Is ·Simon Peter [L Simon who is called Peter] staying [as a guest] here?”
19 While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “·Listen [L Look; T Behold], three men are looking for you. 20 [So; L But] Get up and go downstairs. Go with them without ·doubting [or hesitation], because I have sent them to you.”
21 So Peter went down to the men and said, “I am the one you are ·looking [searching] for. Why did you come here?”
22 They said, “A holy angel spoke to Cornelius, ·an army officer [L a centurion] and a ·good [righteous] man; he ·worships [L fears] God. ·All the people [L The whole Jewish nation] ·respect [speak well of; L testify to] him. The angel told Cornelius to ask you to come to his house so that he can hear what you have to say.” 23 So Peter ·asked [invited] the men to come in and ·spend the night [L entertained them as guests; C an unusual gesture, since Jews would not normally invite Gentiles into their homes].
The next day Peter got ·ready [up] and went with them, and some of the ·followers [Jewish believers; L brothers] from Joppa joined him. 24 On the following day they came to Caesarea [10:1]. Cornelius was ·waiting for [expecting] them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him. 26 But Peter helped him up, saying, “Stand up. I too am only a ·human [mortal].” 27 As he talked with Cornelius, Peter went inside where he ·saw [L found] many people gathered. 28 He said, “You people understand that it is against our law for Jewish people to associate with or visit anyone who is a ·foreigner [Gentile]. But God has shown me that I should not call any person unholy [profane; common] or unclean [defiled]. 29 That is why I did not ·argue [object] when I was asked to come here. Now, please tell me why you sent for me.”
30 Cornelius said, “Four days ago [10:3], I was praying in my house at this same time—·three o’clock in the afternoon [L at the ninth hour]. Suddenly, there was a man standing before me wearing ·shining [dazzling] clothes. 31 He said, ‘Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and ·has seen that you give to the poor and remembers you [L your alms have been remembered by/before God]. 32 So send some men to Joppa and ask Simon [L who is called] Peter to come. Peter is staying [as a guest] in the house of a man, ·also named Simon, who is a tanner [or named Simon Byrseus; 9:43] and has a house beside the sea [see 10:5–6].’ 33 So I sent for you immediately, and it was ·very good [kind] of you to come. Now we are all here ·before [in the presence of; or available to] God to hear everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.”
34 Peter ·began to speak [L opened his mouth]: “I ·really [truly] understand now that ·to God every person is the same [God does not show favoritism/partiality]. 35 [L But] In every ·country [nation] God accepts anyone who ·worships [L fears] him and ·does what is right [practices righteousness]. 36 You know the ·message [word] that God has sent to the people of Israel ·is the Good News that peace [announcing/proclaiming the Gospel of peace that] has come through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Lord of all people [C both Jews and Gentiles]! 37 You know what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after John [C the Baptist] preached to the people about baptism [Luke 3]. 38 You know about Jesus from Nazareth, that God ·gave him [L anointed him with] the Holy Spirit and power. You know how Jesus went everywhere doing good and healing those who were ·ruled [oppressed] by the devil, because God was with him. 39 We ·saw [witnessed] what Jesus did in [L the region/country of] Judea and in Jerusalem, but ·the Jews in Jerusalem [L they] killed him by hanging him on a ·cross [L tree]. 40 Yet, on the third day, God raised Jesus ·to life [or from the dead] and caused him to be seen, 41 not by all the people, but only by the witnesses God had already chosen. And we are those witnesses who ate and drank with him after he was raised from the dead. 42 He ·told [commanded] us to preach to the people and to ·tell them [testify; bear witness] that he is the one whom God ·chose [appointed; determined] to be the judge of the living and the dead. 43 All the prophets ·say it is true [witnessed; testified] that all who believe in Jesus will be forgiven of their sins through Jesus’ name.”
44 While Peter was still saying ·this [L these words], the Holy Spirit ·came down [L fell] on all those who ·were listening [L heard the word/message]. 45 The ·Jewish [L circumcised] believers who came with Peter were ·amazed [astonished] that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been ·given [L poured out] even to the ·nations [Gentiles]. 46 [L For] ·These believers [L They] heard them speaking in different languages [L tongues; C either other languages or ecstatic utterance] and ·praising [magnifying] God. Then Peter said, 47 “Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we did!” 48 So Peter ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.
