Acts 10:1-8

Jubilee Bible 2000

10 ¶ There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the company called the Italian,

² a devout man and one that feared God with all his house, who gave many alms to the people and prayed to God always.

³ He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him and saying unto him, Cornelius.

⁴ And when he looked on him, he was afraid and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms {lit. thine acts of mercy} are come up for a memorial before God.

⁵ And now send men to Joppa and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter;

⁶ he lodges with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side; he shall tell thee what it behooves thee to do.

⁷ And when the angel who spoke unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those that waited on him continually;

⁸ and when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
