Acts 10:23-29

23So Peter invited them in and entertained them as guests. On the next day he got up and set out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.

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

25So when Peter came in, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him.

26But Peter helped him up, saying, “Stand up. I too am a mere mortal.”

27Peter continued talking with him as he went in, and he found many people gathered together.

28He said to them, “You know that it is unlawful for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile, yet God has shown me that I should call no person defiled or ritually unclean.

29Therefore when you sent for me, I came without any objection. Now may I ask why you sent for me?”
