Acts 10:16-28

16And this took place thrice, and the vessel was straightway taken up into heaven.

17And as Peter doubted in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold also the men who were sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate,

18and having called [some one], they inquired if Simon who was surnamed Peter was lodged there.

19But as Peter continued pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee;

20but rise up, go down, and go with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them.

21And Peter going down to the men said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye come?

22And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearing 1God, 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.

23Having 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.

24And on the morrow they came to Caesarea. But Cornelius was looking for them, having called together his kinsmen and [his] intimate friends.

25And when Peter was now coming in, Cornelius met him, and falling down did [him] homage.

26But Peter made him rise, saying, Rise up: I myself also am a man.

27And he went in, talking with him, and found many gathered together.

28And 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 2God has shewn to call no man common or unclean.
