Acts 10:1-9

The Message Bible MSG

1 There was a man named Cornelius who lived in Caesarea, captain of the Italian Guard stationed there.

3 He was a thoroughly good man. He had led everyone in his house to live worshipfully before God, was always helping people in need, and had the habit of prayer. One day about three o'clock in the afternoon he had a vision. An angel of God, as real as his next-door neighbor, came in and said, "Cornelius."

4 Cornelius stared hard, wondering if he was seeing things. Then he said, "What do you want, sir?"

5 Here's what you are to do. Send men to Joppa to get Simon, the one everyone calls Peter.

6 He is staying with Simon the Tanner, whose house is down by the sea."

7 As soon as the angel was gone, Cornelius called two servants and one particularly devout soldier from the guard.

8 He went over with them in great detail everything that had just happened, and then sent them off to Joppa.

9 The next day as the three travelers were approaching the town, Peter went out on the balcony to pray. It was about noon.

New International Version NIV

1 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment.

3 One day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God, who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”

4 Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked. The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God.

5 Now send men to Joppa to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter.

6 He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”

7 When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier who was one of his attendants.

8 He told them everything that had happened and sent them to Joppa.

9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray.
