Acts 10:2-8

2a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always.

3About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!”

4And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, “What is it, lord?” So he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.

5Now send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter.

6He is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. He will tell you what you must do.”

7And when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those who waited on him continually.

8So when he had explained all these things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
