Acts 10:1-6

1 At Caesare'a there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort,

2 a devout man who feared God with all his household, gave alms liberally to the people, and prayed constantly to God.

3 About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, "Cornelius."

4 And he stared at him in terror, and said, "What is it, Lord?" And he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God.

5 And now send men to Joppa, and bring one Simon who is called Peter;

6 he is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside."
