And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.
20
Arise, therefore: get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21
Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek. What is the cause for which you are come?
22
Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house And to hear words of thee.
23
Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following, he arose and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied him.
24
And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.
25
And it came to pass that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him and falling at his feet adored.
26
But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise: I myself also am a man.
27
And talking with him, he went in and found many that were come together.
28
And he said to them: you know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean.
29
For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me?
