After a Vision, a Gentile Named Cornelius Sends Men To Joppa To Get Peter
10 Now a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name— a centurion[a] from the cohort[b] being called “Italian[c]”, 2 a devout one, and one fearing God with all his household, doing many acts-of-almsgiving to the [Jewish] people, and praying to God continually— 3 saw in a vision[d] clearly[e], as-if [f] it were around the ninth[g] hour of the day, an angel of God having come-in[h] to him, and having said to him, “Cornelius!” 4 And the one— having looked-intently at him, and having become terrified— said, “What is it, sir[i]?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your acts-of-almsgiving went up for a memorial before God. 5 And now, send men to Joppa, and send-for a certain Simon who is called Peter. 6 This one is lodging with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is beside the sea”. 7 And when the angel speaking to him departed, having called two of his household-servants and a devout soldier from the ones attaching-themselves[j] to him, 8 and having described everything to them, he sent them forth to Joppa.
