Acts Chapter 10
Cornelius is received into the church. Peter’s vision.
10:1. And there was a certain man in Cæsarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of that which is called the Italian band:
10:2. A religious man, and fearing God with all his house, giving much alms to the people and always praying to God.
10:3. This man saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him and saying to him: Cornelius.
10:4. And he, beholding him, being seized with fear, said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God.
10:5. And now send men to Joppe: and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
10:6. He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.
10:7. And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him.
10:8. To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.
