Acts 10:23-29

23Peter asked the men to come into the house and had them stay overnight. The next day Peter left with them. Some disciples from Joppa went along.

24The following day they arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called his relatives and close friends together.

25When Peter was about to enter Cornelius’ house, Cornelius met him, bowed down, and worshiped Peter.

26But Peter made him get up. He told him, “Stand up! I’m only a man.”

27As Peter talked, he entered Cornelius’ house and found that many people had gathered.

28He said to them, “You understand how wrong it is for a Jewish man to associate or visit with anyone of another race. But God has shown me that I should no longer call anyone impure or unclean.

29That is why I didn’t object to coming here when you sent for me. I want to know why you sent for me.”
