Acts 10:23-29

23Peter then invited them in and gave them lodging. The next day he got up and set out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went with him.

24The following day he entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

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

26But Peter lifted him up and said, “Stand up. I myself am also a man.”

27While talking with him, he went in and found a large gathering of people.

28Peter said to them, “You know it’s forbidden for a Jewish man to associate with or visit a foreigner, but God has shown me that I must not call any person impure or unclean.

29That’s why I came without any objection when I was sent for. So may I ask why you sent for me?”
