Acts 10

New Century Version NCV

1 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, an officer in the Italian group of the Roman army.

2 Cornelius was a religious man. He and all the other people who lived in his house worshiped the true God. He gave much of his money to the poor and prayed to God often.

3 One afternoon about three o'clock, Cornelius clearly saw a vision. An angel of God came to him and said, "Cornelius!"

4 Cornelius stared at the angel. He became afraid and said, "What do you want, Lord?" The angel said, "God has heard your prayers. He has seen that you give to the poor, and he remembers you.

5 Send some men now to Joppa to bring back a man named Simon who is also called Peter.

6 He is staying with a man, also named Simon, who is a tanner and has a house beside the sea."

7 When the angel who spoke to Cornelius left, Cornelius called two of his servants and a soldier, a religious man who worked for him.

8 Cornelius explained everything to them and sent them to Joppa.

9 About noon the next day as they came near Joppa, Peter was going up to the roofn to pray.

10 He was hungry and wanted to eat, but while the food was being prepared, he had a vision.

11 He saw heaven opened and something coming down that looked like a big sheet being lowered to earth by its four corners.

12 In it were all kinds of animals, reptiles, and birds.

13 Then a voice said to Peter, "Get up, Peter; kill and eat."

14 But Peter said, "No, Lord! I have never eaten food that is unholy or unclean."

15 But the voice said to him again, "God has made these things clean so don't call them 'unholy'!"

16 This happened three times, and at once the sheet was taken back to heaven.

17 While Peter was wondering what this vision meant, the men Cornelius sent had found Simon's house and were standing at the gate.

18 They asked, "Is Simon Peter staying here?"

19 While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Listen, three men are looking for you.

20 Get up and go downstairs. Go with them without doubting, because I have sent them to you."

21 So Peter went down to the men and said, "I am the one you are looking for. Why did you come here?"

22 They said, "A holy angel spoke to Cornelius, an army officer and a good man; he worships God. All the Jewish people respect him. The angel told Cornelius to ask you to come to his house so that he can hear what you have to say."

23 So Peter asked the men to come in and spend the night. The next day Peter got ready and went with them, and some of the followers from Joppa joined him.

24 On the following day they came to Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him.

26 But Peter helped him up, saying, "Stand up. I too am only a human."

27 As he talked with Cornelius, Peter went inside where he saw many people gathered.

28 He said, "You people understand that it is against our Jewish law for Jewish people to associate with or visit anyone who is not Jewish. But God has shown me that I should not call any person 'unholy' or 'unclean.'

29 That is why I did not argue when I was asked to come here. Now, please tell me why you sent for me."

30 Cornelius said, "Four days ago, I was praying in my house at this same time -- three o'clock in the afternoon. Suddenly, there was a man standing before me wearing shining clothes.

31 He said, 'Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and has seen that you give to the poor and remembers you.

32 So send some men to Joppa and ask Simon Peter to come. Peter is staying in the house of a man, also named Simon, who is a tanner and has a house beside the sea.'

33 So I sent for you immediately, and it was very good of you to come. Now we are all here before God to hear everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us."

34 Peter began to speak: "I really understand now that to God every person is the same.

35 In every country God accepts anyone who worships him and does what is right.

36 You know the message that God has sent to the people of Israel is the Good News that peace has come through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Lord of all people!

37 You know what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after Johnn preached to the people about baptism.

38 You know about Jesus from Nazareth, that God gave him the Holy Spirit and power. You know how Jesus went everywhere doing good and healing those who were ruled by the devil, because God was with him.

39 We saw what Jesus did in Judea and in Jerusalem, but the Jews in Jerusalem killed him by hanging him on a cross.

40 Yet, on the third day, God raised Jesus to life and caused him to be seen,

41 not by all the people, but only by the witnesses God had already chosen. And we are those witnesses who ate and drank with him after he was raised from the dead.

42 He told us to preach to the people and to tell them that he is the one whom God chose to be the judge of the living and the dead.

43 All the prophets say it is true that all who believe in Jesus will be forgiven of their sins through Jesus' name."

44 While Peter was still saying this, the Holy Spirit came down on all those who were listening.

45 The Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been given even to those who were not Jews.

46 These Jewish believers heard them speaking in different languagesn and praising God. Then Peter said,

47 "Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we did!"

48 So Peter ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 vir autem quidam erat in Caesarea nomine Cornelius centurio cohortis quae dicitur Italica

2 religiosus et timens Deum cum omni domo sua faciens elemosynas multas plebi et deprecans Deum semper

3 vidit in visu manifeste quasi hora nona diei angelum Dei introeuntem ad se et dicentem sibi Corneli

4 at ille intuens eum timore correptus dixit quid est domine dixit autem illi orationes tuae et elemosynae tuae ascenderunt in memoriam in conspectu Dei

5 et nunc mitte viros in Ioppen et accersi Simonem quendam qui cognominatur Petrus

6 hic hospitatur apud Simonem quendam coriarium cuius est domus iuxta mare

7 et cum discessisset angelus qui loquebatur illi vocavit duos domesticos suos et militem metuentem Dominum ex his qui illi parebant

8 quibus cum narrasset omnia misit illos in Ioppen

9 postera autem die iter illis facientibus et adpropinquantibus civitati ascendit Petrus in superiora ut oraret circa horam sextam

10 et cum esuriret voluit gustare parantibus autem eis cecidit super eum mentis excessus

11 et videt caelum apertum et descendens vas quoddam velut linteum magnum quattuor initiis submitti de caelo in terram

12 in quo erant omnia quadrupedia et serpentia terrae et volatilia caeli

13 et facta est vox ad eum surge Petre et occide et manduca

14 ait autem Petrus absit Domine quia numquam manducavi omne commune et inmundum

15 et vox iterum secundo ad eum quae Deus purificavit ne tu commune dixeris

16 hoc autem factum est per ter et statim receptum est vas in caelum

17 et dum intra se haesitaret Petrus quidnam esset visio quam vidisset ecce viri qui missi erant a Cornelio inquirentes domum Simonis adstiterunt ad ianuam

18 et cum vocassent interrogabant si Simon qui cognominatur Petrus illic haberet hospitium

19 Petro autem cogitante de visione dixit Spiritus ei ecce viri tres quaerunt te

20 surge itaque et descende et vade cum eis nihil dubitans quia ego misi illos

21 descendens autem Petrus ad viros dixit ecce ego sum quem quaeritis quae causa est propter quam venistis

22 qui dixerunt Cornelius centurio vir iustus et timens Deum et testimonium habens ab universa gente Iudaeorum responsum accepit ab angelo sancto accersire te in domum suam et audire verba abs te

23 introducens igitur eos recepit hospitio sequenti autem die surgens profectus est cum eis et quidam ex fratribus ab Ioppe comitati sunt eum

24 altera autem die introivit Caesaream Cornelius vero expectabat illos convocatis cognatis suis et necessariis amicis

25 et factum est cum introisset Petrus obvius ei Cornelius et procidens ad pedes adoravit

26 Petrus vero levavit eum dicens surge et ego ipse homo sum

27 et loquens cum illo intravit et invenit multos qui convenerant

28 dixitque ad illos vos scitis quomodo abominatum sit viro iudaeo coniungi aut accedere ad alienigenam et mihi ostendit Deus neminem communem aut inmundum dicere hominem

29 propter quod sine dubitatione veni accersitus interrogo ergo quam ob causam accersistis me

30 et Cornelius ait a nudius quartana die usque in hanc horam orans eram hora nona in domo mea et ecce vir stetit ante me in veste candida et ait

31 Corneli exaudita est oratio tua et elemosynae tuae commemoratae sunt in conspectu Dei

32 mitte ergo in Ioppen et accersi Simonem qui cognominatur Petrus hic hospitatur in domo Simonis coriarii iuxta mare

33 confestim igitur misi ad te et tu bene fecisti veniendo nunc ergo omnes nos in conspectu tuo adsumus audire omnia quaecumque tibi praecepta sunt a Domino

34 aperiens autem Petrus os dixit in veritate conperi quoniam non est personarum acceptor Deus

35 sed in omni gente qui timet eum et operatur iustitiam acceptus est illi

36 verbum misit filiis Israhel adnuntians pacem per Iesum Christum hic est omnium Dominus

37 vos scitis quod factum est verbum per universam Iudaeam incipiens enim a Galilaea post baptismum quod praedicavit Iohannes

38 Iesum a Nazareth quomodo unxit eum Deus Spiritu Sancto et virtute qui pertransivit benefaciendo et sanando omnes oppressos a diabolo quoniam Deus erat cum illo

39 et nos testes sumus omnium quae fecit in regione Iudaeorum et Hierusalem quem et occiderunt suspendentes in ligno

40 hunc Deus suscitavit tertia die et dedit eum manifestum fieri

41 non omni populo sed testibus praeordinatis a Deo nobis qui manducavimus et bibimus cum illo postquam resurrexit a mortuis

42 et praecepit nobis praedicare populo et testificari quia ipse est qui constitutus est a Deo iudex vivorum et mortuorum

43 huic omnes prophetae testimonium perhibent remissionem peccatorum accipere per nomen eius omnes qui credunt in eum

44 adhuc loquente Petro verba haec cecidit Spiritus Sanctus super omnes qui audiebant verbum

45 et obstipuerunt ex circumcisione fideles qui venerant cum Petro quia et in nationes gratia Spiritus Sancti effusa est

46 audiebant enim illos loquentes linguis et magnificantes Deum

47 tunc respondit Petrus numquid aquam quis prohibere potest ut non baptizentur hii qui Spiritum Sanctum acceperunt sicut et nos

48 et iussit eos in nomine Iesu Christi baptizari tunc rogaverunt eum ut maneret aliquot diebus
