Acts 10

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 A man named Cornelius lived in Caesarea. He was a Roman commander in the Italian Regiment.

2 Cornelius and all his family were faithful and worshiped God. He gave freely to people who were in need. He prayed to God regularly.

3 One day about three o'clock in the afternoon he had a vision. He saw an angel of God clearly. The angel came to him and said, "Cornelius!"

4 Cornelius was afraid. He stared at the angel. "What is it, Lord?" he asked. The angel answered, "Your prayers and gifts to poor people have come up like an offering to God. So he has remembered you.

5 Now send men to Joppa. Have them bring back a man named Simon. He is also called Peter.

6 He is staying with another Simon, a man who works with leather. His house is by the sea."

7 The angel who spoke to him left. Then Cornelius called two of his servants. He also called a godly soldier who was one of his attendants.

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

9 It was about noon the next day. The men were on their journey and were approaching the city. Peter went up on the roof to pray.

10 He became hungry. He wanted something to eat. While the meal was being prepared, Peter had a vision.

11 He saw heaven open up. There he saw something that looked like a large sheet. It was being let down to earth by its four corners.

12 It had all kinds of four-footed animals in it. It also had reptiles of the earth and birds of the air.

13 Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat."

14 "No, Lord! I will not!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything that is not pure and 'clean.' "

15 The voice spoke to him a second time. "Do not say anything is not pure that God has made 'clean,' " it said.

16 This happened three times. Right away the sheet was taken back up to heaven.

17 Peter was wondering what the vision meant. At that very moment the men sent by Cornelius found Simon's house. They stopped at the gate

18 and called out. They asked if Simon Peter was staying there.

19 Peter was still thinking about the vision. The Holy Spirit spoke to him. "Simon," he said, "three men are looking for you.

20 Get up and go downstairs. Don't let anything keep you from going with them. I have sent them."

21 Peter went down and spoke to the men. "I'm the one you're looking for," he said. "Why have you come?"

22 The men replied, "We have come from Cornelius, the Roman commander. He is a good man who worships God. All the Jewish people respect him. A holy angel told him to invite you to his house. Cornelius wants to hear what you have to say."

23 Then Peter invited the men into the house to be his guests. The next day Peter went with the three men. Some of the believers from Joppa went along.

24 The following day he arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them. He had called together his relatives and close friends.

25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him. As a sign of respect, he fell at Peter's feet.

26 But Peter made him get up. "Stand up," he said. "I am only a man myself."

27 Talking with Cornelius, Peter went inside. There he found a large group of people.

28 He said to them, "You know that it is against our law for a Jew to have anything to do with those who aren't Jews. But God has shown me that I should not say anyone is not pure and 'clean.'

29 So when you sent for me, I came without asking any questions. May I ask why you sent for me?"

30 Cornelius answered, "Four days ago at this very hour I was in my house praying. It was three o'clock in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes stood in front of me.

31 He said, 'Cornelius, God has heard your prayer. He has remembered your gifts to poor people.

32 Send someone to Joppa to get Simon Peter. He is a guest in the home of another Simon, who works with leather. He lives by the sea.'

33 So I sent for you right away. It was good of you to come. Now we are all here. And God is here with us. We are ready to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us."

34 Then Peter began to speak. "I now realize how true it is that God treats everyone the same," he said.

35 "He accepts people from every nation. He accepts all who have respect for him and do what is right.

36 "You know the message God sent to the people of Israel. It is the good news of peace through Jesus Christ. He is Lord of all.

37 You know what has happened all through Judea. It started in Galilee after John preached about baptism.

38 You know how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Jesus went around doing good. He healed all who were under the devil's power. God was with him.

39 "We are witnesses of everything he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by nailing him to a cross.

40 But on the third day God raised him from the dead. God allowed Jesus to be seen.

41 But he wasn't seen by all the people. He was seen only by us. We are witnesses whom God had already chosen. We ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

42 "He commanded us to preach to the people. He told us to give witness that he is the one appointed by God to judge the living and the dead.

43 All the prophets give witness about him. They say that all who believe in him have their sins forgiven through his name."

44 While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message.

45 Some Jewish believers had come with Peter. They were amazed because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on those who weren't Jews.

46 They heard them speaking in languages they had not known before. They also heard them 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 have."

48 So he 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
