1
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
unto 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 inquiry
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 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
of
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.
