Acts 10:1-8

American Standard Version

10 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of the ^[a]band called the Italian band, ² a devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always. ³ 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. ⁴ 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. ⁵ And now send men to Joppa, and fetch one Simon, who is surnamed Peter: ⁶ he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. ⁷ 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; ⁸ and having rehearsed all things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
