Peter and Cornelius
1 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of
1what was known as the Italian Cohort,
2
a devout man
2who feared God with all his household, gave alms generously to the people, and prayed continually to God.
3
3About the ninth hour of the day
4he saw clearly in a vision
5an angel of God come in and say 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
6have ascended
7as a memorial before God.
5
And now send men to Joppa and bring one Simon who is called Peter.
6
He is lodging
8with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea."
7
When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who attended him,
8
and having related everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
