Acts 10:16-28
16ThisG3778 happenedG1096 threeG5151 timesG5151, and immediatelyG2117 the 1objectG4632 was takenG353 up into the 2skyG3772.
17NowG1161 whileG5613 PeterG4074 was greatlyG1280 perplexedG1280 in 3mindG1438 as to whatG5101 4the visionG3705 whichG3739 he had seenG3708 might be, beholdG2400, 5the menG435 who had been sentG649 by CorneliusG2883, having askedG1331 directionsG1331 for Simon’sG4613 houseG3614, appearedG2186 at the gateG4440; 18and callingG5455 out, they were askingG4441 whetherG1487 SimonG4613, who was also calledG1941 PeterG4074, was stayingG3579 thereG1759. 19While PeterG4074 was reflectingG1327 on 6the visionG3705, 7the SpiritG4151 saidG3004 to him, “BeholdG2400, 8threeG5140 menG435 are lookingG2212 for you. 20But getG450 up, goG2597 downstairsG2597 and 9accompanyG4198G4862 them 10withoutG3367 misgivingsG1252, for I have sentG649 them MyselfG1473.” 21PeterG4074 wentG2597 downG2597 to the menG435 and saidG3004, “BeholdG2400, I amG1510 the one you are lookingG2212 for; whatG5101 is the reasonG156 for whichG3739 you have comeG3918?” 22They saidG3004, “CorneliusG2883, a centurionG1543, a righteousG1342 and 11God-fearingG2316 manG435 wellG3140 spokenG3140 of by the entireG3650 nationG1484 of the JewsG2453, 12was divinely directedG5537 by a 13holyG40 angelG32 to sendG3343 for you to come to his houseG3624 and hearG191 1415a messageG4487 from you.” 23SoG3767 he invitedG1528 them in and gaveG3579 them lodgingG3579.
And on the nextG1887 dayG1887 he gotG450 up and wentG1831 awayG1831 with them, and 16someG5100 of 17the brethrenG80 from 18JoppaG2445 accompaniedG4905 him. 24On the followingG1887 dayG1887 he enteredG1525 19CaesareaG2542. NowG1161 CorneliusG2883 was waitingG4327 for them and had calledG4779 togetherG4779 his relativesG4773 and closeG316 friendsG5384. 25WhenG5613 PeterG4074 enteredG1525, CorneliusG2883 metG4876 him, and fellG4098 at his feetG4228 and 2021worshipedG4352 him. 26But PeterG4074 raisedG1453 him up, sayingG3004, “22StandG450 up; I tooG2532 amG1510 just a manG444.” 27As he talkedG4926 with him, he enteredG1525 and foundG2147 23manyG4183 peopleG4183 assembledG4905. 28And he saidG5346 to them, “You yourselvesG4771 knowG1987 howG5613 24unlawfulG111 it is for a manG435 who is a JewG2453 to associateG2853 with a foreignerG246 orG2228 to visitG4334 him; and yet 25GodG2316 has shownG1166 me that I should not callG3004 anyG3367 manG444 26unholyG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169.
