and having called [some one], they inquired if Simon who was surnamed Peter was lodged there.
19
But as Peter continued pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee;
20
but rise up, go down, and go with them, nothing doubting, because *I* have sent them.
21
And Peter going down to the men said, Behold, *I* am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye come?
22
And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearing God, and borne witness to by the whole nation of the Jews, has been divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and hear words from thee.
23
Having therefore invited them in, he lodged them. And on the morrow, rising up he went away with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him.
24
And on the morrow they came to Caesarea. But Cornelius was looking for them, having called together his kinsmen and [his] intimate friends.
25
And when Peter was now coming in, Cornelius met him, and falling down did [him] homage.
26
But Peter made him rise, saying, Rise up: *I* myself also am a man.
27
And he went in, talking with him, and found many gathered together.
28
And he said to them, *Ye* know how it is unlawful for a Jew to be joined or come to one of a strange race, and to *me* God has shewn to call no man common or unclean.
