Acts 10
|
- 10:1
There
was a
certain
man
in
Caesarea
called
Cornelius, a
centurion
of the
band
called the
Italian band,
|
- 10:2 A
devout man,
and one that
feared
God
with
all
his
house,
which
gave
much
alms to the
people,
and
prayed to
God
alway.
|
- 10:3 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.
|
- 10:4
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.
|
- 10:5
And
now
send
men
to
Joppa,
and call
for one
Simon,
whose surname
is
Peter:
|
- 10:6
He
lodgeth
with
one
Simon a
tanner,
whose
house
is
by the sea
side:
he shall
tell
thee
what
thou
oughtest to
do.
|
- 10:7
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;
|
- 10:8
And when he had
declared all these
things unto
them, he
sent
them
to
Joppa.
|
- 10:9
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:
|
- 10:10
And he
became very
hungry,
and
would have
eaten:
but while
they made
ready,
he
fell
into a
trance,
|
- 10:11
And
saw
heaven
opened,
and a
certain
vessel
descending
unto
him,
as it had been a
great
sheet
knit at the
four
corners,
and let
down
to the
earth:
|
- 10:12
Wherein
*
were all
manner of fourfooted
beasts of the
earth,
and wild
beasts,
and creeping
things,
and
fowls of the
air.
|
- 10:13
And there
came a
voice
to
him,
Rise,
Peter;
kill,
and
eat.
|
- 10:14
But
Peter
said, Not
so,
Lord;
for I
have
never
eaten any
thing that is
common
or
unclean.
|
- 10:15
And the
voice spake
unto
him
again
the second
time,
What
God hath
cleansed, that
call
not
thou
common.
|
- 10:16
*
This was
done
thrice
*:
and the
vessel was received
up
again
into
heaven.
|
- 10:17
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,
|
- 10:18
And
called, and
asked
whether
Simon,
which was
surnamed
Peter, were
lodged
there.
|
- 10:19
While
Peter
thought
on the
vision, the
Spirit
said unto
him,
Behold,
three
men
seek
thee.
|
- 10:20
Arise
therefore, and get thee
down,
and
go
with
them,
doubting
nothing:
for
I have
sent
them.
|
- 10:21
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 ?
|
- 10:22
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.
|
- 10:23
Then called
he
them
in, and
lodged them.
And on the
morrow
Peter went
away
with
them,
and
certain
brethren
from
Joppa
accompanied
him.
|
- 10:24
And the
morrow after they
entered
into
Caesarea.
And
Cornelius waited
for
them
*, and had called
together
his
kinsmen
and
near
friends.
|
- 10:25
And
as
Peter
was coming
in,
Cornelius
met
him, and fell
down
at his
feet, and
worshipped him.
|
- 10:26
But
Peter
took
him
up,
saying, Stand
up;
I
myself
also
am a
man.
|
- 10:27
And as he
talked with
him, he went
in,
and
found
many that were come
together.
|
- 10:28
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.
|
- 10:29
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?
|
- 10:30
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,
|
- 10:31
And
said,
Cornelius,
thy
prayer is
heard,
and
thine
alms are had in
remembrance in the
sight of
God.
|
- 10:32
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.
|
- 10:33
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.
|
- 10:34
Then
Peter
opened his
mouth, and
said,
Of a
truth I
perceive
that
God
is
no respecter of
persons:
|
- 10:35
But
in
every
nation he that
feareth
him,
and
worketh
righteousness,
is
accepted with
him.
|
- 10:36 The
word
which God
sent unto the
children of
Israel,
preaching
peace
by
Jesus
Christ:
* (he
is
Lord of
all:)
|
- 10:37 That
word, I say,
ye
know, which was
published
throughout
all
Judaea, and
began
from
Galilee,
after the
baptism
which
John
preached;
|
- 10:38
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.
|
- 10:39
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:
|
- 10:40
Him
God raised
up the
third
day,
and
shewed
him
openly
*;
|
- 10:41
Not to
all the
people,
but unto
witnesses chosen
before
of
God, even to
us,
who did
eat
and drink
with
him
after
he
rose
from the
dead.
|
- 10:42
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.
|
- 10:43 To
him
give
all the
prophets
witness, that
through
his
name
whosoever
believeth
in
him shall
receive
remission of
sins.
|
- 10:44 While
Peter
yet
spake
these
words, the
Holy
Ghost
fell
on
all them which
heard the
word.
|
- 10:45
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.
|
- 10:46
For they
heard
them speak
with
tongues,
and
magnify
God.
Then
answered
Peter,
|
- 10:47
Can
* any
man
forbid
water, that
these
should
not be
baptized,
which have
received the
Holy
Ghost
as well
as
we?
|
- 10:48
And he
commanded
them to be
baptized
in the
name of the
Lord.
Then prayed
they
him to
tarry
certain
days.
