Acts 10:1-8

Revised Geneva Translation

10 Furthermore, there was a certain man in Caesarea named Cornelius - a captain of the band called the ‘Italian’ -

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

³ Evidently, he saw an angel of God in a vision (about the ninth hour of the day) coming in to him and saying, “Cornelius.”

⁴ But when he looked at him, he was afraid, and said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up in remembrance before God.

⁵ “Now, therefore, send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.

⁶ “He lodges with one Simon, a Tanner, whose house is by the seaside. He shall tell you what you ought to do.”

⁷ And when the angel who spoke to Cornelius had departed, he called two of his servants and a God-fearing soldier (one of those who waited on him continually).

⁸ And he told them all things and sent them to Joppa.
