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.

7 · kai After meta this houtos Jesus Iēsous traveled peripateō about · ho in en · ho Galilee Galilaia; he chose thelō not ou to remain peripateō in en · ho Judea Ioudaia, because hoti the ho Jews Ioudaios were seeking zēteō to kill apokteinō him autos. ² Now de the ho Jewish Ioudaios festival heortē of Tabernacles skēnopēgia was eimi near engys. · ho · ho ³ So oun his autos brothers adelphos said legō to pros him autos, · ho “ You should leave metabainō here enteuthen and kai go hypagō to eis · ho Judea Ioudaia so hina that your sy disciples mathētēs also kai · ho may observe theōreō the ho works ergon that hos you are doing poieō. ⁴ For gar no oudeis one acts poieō in en secret kryptos if kai he autos desires zēteō public recognition en. If ei you are doing poieō these houtos things , show phaneroō yourself seautou to the ho world kosmos.” ⁵ ( You see gar, not oude even · ho his autos brothers adelphos had confidence pisteuō in eis him autos.) ⁶ So oun Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, · ho · ho “ My emos time kairos · ho has not oupō yet come pareimi, · ho but de your hymeteros time kairos · ho is eimi always pantote here hetoimos. ⁷ The ho world kosmos cannot ou dynamai hate miseō you hymeis, but de it hates miseō me egō because hoti I egō am bearing martyreō witness against peri it autos that hoti · ho its autos works ergon are eimi evil ponēros. ⁸ You go anabainō up to eis the ho festival heortē yourselves hymeis; I egō am not ou going anabainō up to eis · ho this houtos festival heortē, for hoti · ho my emos time kairos has not oupō yet fully come plēroō.” ⁹ Having said legō this houtos, · de he autos stayed menō behind in en · ho Galilee Galilaia.

¹⁰ However de, when hōs his autos brothers adelphos had gone anabainō up · ho to eis the ho festival heortē, then tote Jesus himself autos also kai went anabainō up , not ou openly phanerōs, but alla as hōs it were , in en private kryptos. ¹¹ The ho Jews Ioudaios were looking zēteō for him autos at en the ho festival heortē, and kai saying legō, “ Where pou is eimi that ekeinos man ?” ¹² And kai there was eimi a lot polys of secret gongysmos discussion about peri him autos among en the ho crowds ochlos; some ho were saying legō, “ He is eimi a good agathos man ,” but de others allos were saying legō, “ No ou, to the contrary alla, he is leading people ochlos astray planaō.” · ho ¹³ No oudeis one , however mentoi, was speaking laleō openly parrēsia about peri him autos for dia · ho fear phobos of the ho Jews Ioudaios.
