Nouă Traducere În Limba Română

Corneliu

10 În Cezareea era un om pe nume Corneliu, un centurion[a] din cohorta[b] numită „Italiana“. 2 Era evlavios şi temător de Dumnezeu[c], împreună cu toată casa lui. El făcea multe milostenii poporului şi se ruga mereu lui Dumnezeu. 3 Într-o zi, cam pe la ceasul al nouălea[d], a văzut clar, într-o viziune, pe un înger al lui Dumnezeu intrând la el şi spunându-i:

– Corneliu!

4 Corneliu s-a uitat ţintă la el şi s-a înspăimântat. El a zis:

– Ce este, domnule?

Îngerul i-a spus:

– Rugăciunile şi milosteniile tale s-au suit înaintea lui Dumnezeu, ca o jertfă de aducere-aminte[e]. 5 Acum, trimite nişte bărbaţi la Iafo şi cheamă-l pe Simon, cel care mai este numit şi Petru. 6 El găzduieşte la Simon, un tăbăcar, a cărui casă este lângă mare.

7 Cum a plecat îngerul care-i vorbise, Corneliu a chemat doi din slujitorii săi din casă şi un soldat evlavios, care-i era devotat tot timpul, 8 şi, după ce le-a istorisit totul, i-a trimis la Iafo.

Viziunea lui Petru

9 În ziua următoare, în timp ce ei erau pe drum şi se apropiau de cetate, Petru s-a suit pe acoperiş să se roage pe la ceasul al şaselea[f]. 10 I s-a făcut foame şi a vrut să mănânce. În timp ce-i pregăteau masa, a căzut într-o răpire sufletească. 11 A văzut cerul deschis şi ceva ca o pânză mare fiind coborâtă pe pământ de cele patru colţuri. 12 În ea se aflau tot felul de patrupede, animale mici[g] ale pământului şi păsări ale cerului. 13 Un glas i-a vorbit astfel:

– Petru, ridică-te, înjunghie şi mănâncă!

14 Însă Petru a zis:

– În nici un caz, Doamne! Căci niciodată n-am mâncat ceva pângărit sau necurat!

15 Glasul i-a vorbit din nou, a doua oară:

– Ceea ce a curăţit Dumnezeu, să nu numeşti pângărit!

16 Lucrul acesta s-a întâmplat de trei ori; apoi, imediat pânza a fost luată la cer. 17 În timp ce Petru era preocupat de înţelesul acestei viziuni, iată că bărbaţii trimişi de Corneliu aflaseră unde este casa lui Simon şi stăteau la poartă, 18 întrebând cu glas tare dacă Simon, care mai este numit şi Petru, găzduieşte acolo. 19 În timp ce Petru încă se gândea la viziune, Duhul i-a zis: „Iată că te caută trei bărbaţi; 20 ridică-te deci, coboară şi du-te cu ei fără să faci deosebire, pentru că Eu i-am trimis.“

21 Aşadar, Petru a coborât la bărbaţii aceia şi le-a zis:

– Eu sunt cel pe care-l căutaţi. Care este motivul pentru care aţi venit?

22 Ei i-au răspuns:

– Centurionul Corneliu, om drept, temător de Dumnezeu şi vorbit de bine prin tot neamul iudeilor, a fost înştiinţat printr-un înger sfânt să trimită să te cheme în casa lui şi să audă cuvinte de la tine.

23 Petru deci i-a invitat înăuntru şi i-a găzduit.

Petru, acasă la Corneliu

În ziua următoare s-a sculat şi a plecat împreună cu ei; l-au însoţit şi unii dintre fraţii din Iafo. 24 O zi mai târziu au ajuns în Cezareea. Corneliu îi aştepta împreună cu rudele şi prietenii apropiaţi pe care-i invitase. 25 Pe când dădea Petru să intre în casă, Corneliu l-a întâmpinat, a căzut la picioarele lui şi i s-a închinat.

26 Petru însă l-a ridicat, zicând:

– Ridică-te! Şi eu sunt tot om!

27 Şi, continuând să vorbească cu el, a intrat înăuntru, unde a găsit mulţi oameni care se adunaseră.

28 El le-a zis:

– Ştiţi că unui iudeu îi este interzis de Lege să se asocieze sau să viziteze un străin, dar Dumnezeu mi-a arătat să nu numesc pe nici un om pângărit sau necurat. 29 De aceea am venit fără ezitare când s-a trimis după mine. Vă întreb deci, cu ce scop aţi trimis după mine?

30 Corneliu a zis:

– Cu patru zile în urmă, eram în casa mea şi mă rugam chiar în ceasul acesta, ceasul al nouălea. Şi iată că un om îmbrăcat în haine strălucitoare a stat înaintea mea 31 şi a zis: „Corneliu, rugăciunea ta a fost ascultată şi milosteniile tale au fost amintite înaintea lui Dumnezeu. 32 Prin urmare, trimite la Iafo şi cheamă-l pe Simon, care mai este numit şi Petru; el găzduieşte în casa lui Simon, un tăbăcar, lângă mare (; când va veni el, îţi va vorbi)[h]. 33 Am trimis deci imediat la tine şi ai făcut bine că ai venit. Acum deci noi toţi suntem prezenţi aici, înaintea lui Dumnezeu, ca să auzim tot ce ţi-a poruncit Domnul!

34 Atunci Petru a luat cuvântul şi a zis:

– Într-adevăr, înţeleg acum că Dumnezeu nu este părtinitor, 35 ci că, în orice neam, cel ce se teme de El şi lucrează dreptate este primit de El. 36 El a trimis fiilor lui Israel Cuvântul, vestind Evanghelia păcii prin Isus Cristos, Care este Domnul tuturor. 37 Voi ştiţi ce s-a întâmplat prin toată Iudeea, începând din Galileea, după botezul predicat de Ioan: 38 cum Dumnezeu L-a uns cu Duhul Sfânt şi cu putere pe Isus din Nazaret, Care mergea pretutindeni, făcând bine şi vindecându-i pe toţi cei ce erau asupriţi de diavolul[i], căci Dumnezeu era cu El. 39 Noi suntem martori ai tuturor lucrurilor pe care le-a făcut El în ţara iudeilor şi în Ierusalim; El este Cel pe Care ei L-au omorât, atârnându-L pe lemn. 40 Pe El, Dumnezeu L-a înviat a treia zi şi a îngăduit să Se facă văzut, 41 nu întregului popor, ci nouă, martorilor aleşi mai dinainte de Dumnezeu, nouă, care am mâncat şi am băut împreună cu El după ce a înviat dintre cei morţi. 42 El ne-a poruncit să predicăm poporului şi să depunem mărturie că El este Cel desemnat de Dumnezeu ca Judecător al celor vii şi al celor morţi. 43 Toţi profeţii depun mărturie despre El, şi anume că oricine crede în El primeşte, prin Numele Lui, iertarea de păcate.

44 În timp ce rostea Petru aceste cuvinte, Duhul Sfânt S-a coborât peste toţi cei ce ascultau Cuvântul. 45 Credincioşii circumcişi care veniseră cu Petru au rămas uluiţi de faptul că darul Duhului Sfânt fusese turnat şi peste neamuri. 46 Căci îi auzeau vorbind în limbi şi preamărindu-L pe Dumnezeu. Atunci Petru a zis: 47 „Oare poate opri cineva apa să nu fie botezaţi aceştia, care au primit Duhul Sfânt ca şi noi?!“ 48 Şi a poruncit să fie botezaţi în Numele lui Isus Cristos. Atunci l-au rugat să mai rămână câteva zile la ei.

Cornelius Has a Vision

10 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea named[a] Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Cohort, 2 devout and fearing God together with all his household, doing many charitable deeds for the people and praying to God continually.[b] 3 About the ninth hour of the day, he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, “Cornelius.” 4 And he stared at him and became terrified and[c] said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your charitable deeds have gone up for a memorial offering before God. 5 And now, send men to Joppa and summon a certain Simon, who is also called Peter. 6 This man is staying as a guest with a certain Simon, a tanner,[d] whose house is by the sea.” 7 And when the angel who spoke to him departed, he summoned two of the household slaves and a devout soldier from those who attended him, 8 and after he[e] had explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

Peter Has a Vision

9 And the next day, as[f] they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about the sixth hour. 10 And he became hungry and wanted to eat. But while[g] they were preparing the food,[h] a trance came over him. 11 And he saw heaven opened and an object something like a large sheet coming down, being let down to the earth by its four corners, 12 in which were all the four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth and birds of the sky. 13 And a voice came to him, “Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!” 14 But Peter said, “Certainly not, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common and unclean!” 15 And the voice came again to him for the second time: “The things which God has made clean, you must not consider unclean!” 16 And this happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into heaven.

17 Now while Peter was greatly perplexed within himself as to what the vision that he had seen might be, behold, the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having found the house of Simon by asking around, stood at the gate. 18 And they called out and[i] asked if Simon who was also called Peter was staying there as a guest. 19 And while[j] Peter was reflecting about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, men[k] are looking for you. 20 But get up, go down, and go with them—not hesitating at all, because I have sent them.” 21 So Peter went down to the men and[l] said, “Behold, I am he whom you are looking for! What is the reason for which you have come?” 22 And they said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man—and well spoken of by the whole nation of the Jews—was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear words from you.” 23 So he invited them in and[m] entertained them as guests, and on the next day he got up and[n] went away with them. And some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him. 24 And on the next day he entered into Caesarea.

Peter Visits Cornelius

Now Cornelius was waiting for them, and[o] had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 So it happened that when Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell at his[p] feet, and[q] worshiped him.[r] 26 But Peter helped him up, saying, “Get up! I myself am also a man!” 27 And as he[s] conversed with him, he went in and found many people gathered. 28 And he said to them, “You know that it is forbidden for a Jewish man to associate with or to approach a foreigner. And to me God has shown that I should call no man common or unclean. 29 Therefore—and without raising any objection—I came when I[t] was sent for. So I ask for what reason you sent for me.”

30 And Cornelius said, “Four days ago at this hour,[u] the ninth, I was praying in my house. And behold, a man in shining clothing stood before me 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your charitable deeds have been remembered before God. 32 Therefore send to Joppa and summon Simon who is also called Peter. This man is staying as a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner,[v] by the sea. 33 Therefore I sent for you at once, and you were kind enough to come.[w] So now we all are present before God to hear all the things that have been commanded to you by the Lord.”

34 So Peter opened his[x] mouth and[y] said, “In truth I understand that God is not one who shows partiality, 35 but in every nation the one who fears him and who does what is right is acceptable to him. 36 As for[z] the message that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming the good news of peace through Jesus Christ—this one is Lord of all— 37 you know the thing that happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism that John proclaimed: 38 Jesus of Nazareth—how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with him. 39 And we are witnesses of all the things that he did both in the land of the Judeans and in Jerusalem, whom they also executed by[aa] hanging him[ab] on a tree. 40 God raised this one up on the third day and granted that he should become visible, 41 not to all the people but to us who had been chosen beforehand by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify solemnly that this one is the one appointed[ac] by God as judge of the living and of the dead. 43 To this one all the prophets testify, that through his name everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins.”

The Holy Spirit Given to Gentiles

44 While[ad] Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who were listening to the message. 45 And those believers from the circumcision who had accompanied Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles, 46 for they heard them speaking in tongues and glorifying God. Then Peter said, 47 “Surely no one can withhold the water for these people to be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also did!” 48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for several days.

Cornelius Calls for Peter

10 At Caesarea(A) there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. 2 He and all his family were devout and God-fearing;(B) he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. 3 One day at about three in the afternoon(C) he had a vision.(D) He distinctly saw an angel(E) of God, who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”

4 Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked.

The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering(F) before God.(G) 5 Now send men to Joppa(H) to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6 He is staying with Simon the tanner,(I) whose house is by the sea.”

7 When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier who was one of his attendants. 8 He told them everything that had happened and sent them to Joppa.(J)

Peter’s Vision(K)

9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof(L) to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.(M) 11 He saw heaven opened(N) and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”

14 “Surely not, Lord!”(O) Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”(P)

15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”(Q)

16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.

17 While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision,(R) the men sent by Cornelius(S) found out where Simon’s house was and stopped at the gate. 18 They called out, asking if Simon who was known as Peter was staying there.

19 While Peter was still thinking about the vision,(T) the Spirit said(U) to him, “Simon, three[a] men are looking for you. 20 So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.”(V)

21 Peter went down and said to the men, “I’m the one you’re looking for. Why have you come?”

22 The men replied, “We have come from Cornelius the centurion. He is a righteous and God-fearing man,(W) who is respected by all the Jewish people. A holy angel told him to ask you to come to his house so that he could hear what you have to say.”(X) 23 Then Peter invited the men into the house to be his guests.

Peter at Cornelius’s House

The next day Peter started out with them, and some of the believers(Y) from Joppa went along.(Z) 24 The following day he arrived in Caesarea.(AA) Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence. 26 But Peter made him get up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”(AB)

27 While talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people.(AC) 28 He said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile.(AD) But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean.(AE) 29 So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?”

30 Cornelius answered: “Three days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes(AF) stood before me 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and remembered your gifts to the poor. 32 Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, who lives by the sea.’ 33 So I sent for you immediately, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.”

34 Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism(AG) 35 but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.(AH) 36 You know the message(AI) God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news(AJ) of peace(AK) through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.(AL) 37 You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached— 38 how God anointed(AM) Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing(AN) all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.(AO)

39 “We are witnesses(AP) of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross,(AQ) 40 but God raised him from the dead(AR) on the third day and caused him to be seen. 41 He was not seen by all the people,(AS) but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate(AT) and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 He commanded us to preach to the people(AU) and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead.(AV) 43 All the prophets testify about him(AW) that everyone(AX) who believes(AY) in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”(AZ)

44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on(BA) all who heard the message. 45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter(BB) were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out(BC) even on Gentiles.(BD) 46 For they heard them speaking in tongues[b](BE) and praising God.

Then Peter said, 47 “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water.(BF) They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.”(BG) 48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.(BH) Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.

Acts 10
King James Version

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

2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.

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 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 lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.

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

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

9 On the morrow, as they went 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 very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

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 any thing that is common or unclean.

15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,

18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.

20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.

21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?

22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.

23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and near friends.

25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.

26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

29 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?

30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.

33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.

34 Then 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 accepted with him.

36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost 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 land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;

41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

Acts 10
Darby Translation

10 But a certain man in Caesarea,—by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italic,

2 pious, and fearing God with all his house, [both] giving much alms to the people, and supplicating God continually,

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

4 But he, having fixed his eyes upon him, and become full of fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thine alms have gone up for a memorial before God.

5 And now send men to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter.

6 He lodges with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.

7 And when the angel who was speaking to him had departed, having called two of his household and a pious soldier of those who were constantly with him,

8 and related all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.

9 And on the morrow, as these were journeying and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house to pray, about the sixth hour.

10 And he became hungry and desired to eat. But as they were making ready an ecstasy came upon him:

11 and he beholds the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as a great sheet, [bound] by [the] four corners [and] let down to the earth;

12 in which were all the quadrupeds and creeping things of the earth, and the fowls of the heaven.

13 And there was a voice to him, Rise, Peter, slay and eat.

14 And Peter said, In no wise, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common or unclean.

15 And [there was] a voice again the second time to him, What God has cleansed, do not *thou* make common.

16 And this took place thrice, and the vessel was straightway taken up into heaven.

17 And as Peter doubted in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold also the men who were sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate,

18 and having called [some one], they inquired if Simon who was surnamed Peter was lodged there.

19 But as Peter continued pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee;

20 but rise up, go down, and go with them, nothing doubting, because *I* have sent them.

21 And Peter going down to the men said, Behold, *I* am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye come?

22 And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearing God, and borne witness to by the whole nation of the Jews, has been divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and hear words from thee.

23 Having therefore invited them in, he lodged them. And on the morrow, rising up he went away with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him.

24 And on the morrow they came to Caesarea. But Cornelius was looking for them, having called together his kinsmen and [his] intimate friends.

25 And when Peter was now coming in, Cornelius met him, and falling down did [him] homage.

26 But Peter made him rise, saying, Rise up: *I* myself also am a man.

27 And he went in, talking with him, and found many gathered together.

28 And he said to them, *Ye* know how it is unlawful for a Jew to be joined or come to one of a strange race, and to *me* God has shewn to call no man common or unclean.

29 Wherefore also, having been sent for, I came without saying anything against it. I inquire therefore for what reason ye have sent for me.

30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I had been [fasting] unto this hour, and the ninth [I was] praying in my house, and lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

31 and said, Cornelius, thy prayer has been heard, and thy alms have come in remembrance before God.

32 Send therefore to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea [who when he is come will speak to thee].

33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and *thou* hast well done in coming. Now therefore *we* are all present before God to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.

34 And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,

35 but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

36 The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (*he* is Lord of all things,)

37 *ye* know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached—

38 Jesus who [was] of Nazareth: how God anointed him with [the] Holy Spirit and with power; who went through [all quarters] doing good, and healing all that were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

39 *We* also [are] witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew, having hanged him on a cross.

40 This [man] God raised up the third day and gave him to be openly seen,

41 not of all the people, but of witnesses who were chosen before of God, *us* who have eaten and drunk with him after he arose from among [the] dead.

42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that *he* it is who was determinately appointed of God [to be] judge of living and dead.

43 To him all the prophets bear witness that every one that believes on him will receive through his name remission of sins.

44 While Peter was yet speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were hearing the word.

45 And the faithful of the circumcision were astonished, as many as came with Peter, that upon the nations also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out:

46 for they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

47 Can any one forbid water that these should not be baptised, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also [did]?

48 And he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they begged him to stay some days.
