1ThereG1161 wasG1510 a certainG5100 manG435 inG1722 CæsareaG2542 calledG3686 CorneliusG2883, a centurionG1543 ofG1537 the bandG4686 calledG2564 the ItalianG2483 band, 2A devoutG2152 man, andG2532 one that fearedG5399 GodG3588G2316 withG4862 allG3956 hisG846 houseG3588G3624, whichG5037 gaveG4160 muchG4183 almsG1654 to the peopleG3588G2992, andG2532 prayedG1189 to GodG3588G2316 alwayG1275. 3He sawG3708 inG1722 a visionG3705 evidentlyG5320 aboutG5616 the ninthG1766 hourG5610 of the dayG3588G2250 an angelG32 of GodG3588G2316 coming inG1525 toG4314 himG846, andG2532 sayingG3004 unto himG846, CorneliusG2883. 4AndG1161 when he lookedG816 on himG846, he wasG1096 afraidG1719, and saidG3004, WhatG5101 is itG1510, LordG2962? AndG1161 he saidG3004 unto himG846, ThyG4771 prayersG3588G4335 andG2532 thineG4771 almsG3588G1654 are come upG305 forG1519 a memorialG3422 beforeG1799 GodG3588G2316. 5AndG2532 nowG3568 sendG3992 menG435 toG1519 JoppaG2445, andG2532 call forG3343 one SimonG4613, whoseG3739 surname isG1941 PeterG4074: 6HeG3778 lodgethG3579 withG3844 oneG5100 SimonG4613 a tannerG1038, whoseG3739 houseG3614 isG1510 byG3844 the sea sideG2281: heG3778 shall tellG2980 theeG4771 whatG5101 thouG4771 oughtestG1163 to doG4160. 7AndG1161 whenG5613 the angelG3588G32 whichG3588 spakeG2980 unto CorneliusG3588G2883 was departedG565, he calledG5455 twoG1417 of hisG846 household servantsG3588G3610, andG2532 a devoutG2152 soldierG4757 of themG3588 that waitedG4342 on himG846 continuallyG4342; 8AndG2532 when he had declaredG1834 allG537 these thingsG537 unto themG846, he sentG649 themG846 toG1519 JoppaG3588G2445. 9
OnG1161 the morrowG1887, asG1565 they went on their journeyG3596, andG2532 drew nighG1448 unto the cityG3588G4172, PeterG4074 went upG305 uponG1909 the housetopG3588G1430 to prayG4336 aboutG4012 the sixthG1623 hourG5610: 10AndG1161 he becameG1096 very hungryG4361, andG2532 wouldG2309 have eatenG1089: butG1161 while theyG1565 made readyG3903, heG846 fellG1968 intoG1909 a tranceG1611, 11AndG2532 sawG2334 heavenG3588G3772 openedG455, andG2532 a certainG5100 vesselG4632 descendingG2597 untoG1909 himG846, asG5613 it had been a greatG3173 sheetG3607 knitG1210 at the fourG5064 cornersG746, andG2532 let downG2524 toG1909 the earthG3588G1093: 12WhereinG3739 wereG5225 all manner ofG3956 fourfooted beastsG5074 of the earthG3588G1093, andG2532 wild beastsG3588G2342, andG2532 creeping thingsG3588G2062, andG2532 fowlsG3588G4071 of the airG3588G3772. 13AndG2532 there cameG1096 a voiceG5456 toG4314 himG846, RiseG450, PeterG4074; killG2380, andG2532 eatG5315. 14ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG3004, Not soG3365, LordG2962; forG3754 I haveG5315 neverG3763 eatenG5315 any thingG3956 that is profaneG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169. 15AndG2532 the voiceG5456 spake untoG4314 himG846 againG3825 the second timeG1208, WhatG3739 GodG3588G2316 hath cleansedG2511, that callG2840 notG3361 thouG4771 profaneG2840. 16ThisG3778 was doneG1096 thriceG5151: andG2532 the vesselG3588G4632 was received upG353 againG3825 intoG1519 heavenG3588G3772. 17NowG1161 whileG5613 PeterG3588G4074 doubtedG1280 inG1722 himselfG1438 whatG5101 this visionG3588G3705 whichG3739 he had seenG3708 should meanG1510, beholdG3708, the menG3588G435 whichG3588 were sentG649 fromG575 CorneliusG3588G2883 had made enquiryG1331 for Simon’sG4613 houseG3588G3614, andG2532 stoodG2186 beforeG1909 the gateG3588G4440, 18AndG2532 calledG5455, and askedG4441 whetherG1487 SimonG4613, whichG3588 was surnamedG1941 PeterG4074, were lodgedG3579 thereG1759. 19
WhileG1161 PeterG4074 thoughtG1760 onG4012 the visionG3588G3705, the SpiritG3588G4151 said untoG3004 himG846, BeholdG3708, threeG5140 menG435 seekG2212 theeG4771. 20AriseG450 thereforeG235, and get thee downG2597, andG2532 goG4198 withG4862 themG846, doubtingG1252 nothingG3367: forG1360 IG1473 have sentG649 themG846. 21ThenG1161 PeterG4074 went downG2597 toG4314 the menG3588G435 whichG3588 were sentG649 untoG4314 himG846 fromG575 CorneliusG3588G2883; and saidG3004, BeholdG3708, IG1473 amG1510 he whomG3739 ye seekG2212: whatG5101 is the causeG3588G156 whereforeG1223 yeG3739 are comeG3918? 22AndG1161 they saidG3004, CorneliusG2883 the centurionG1543, a justG1342 manG435, andG2532 one that fearethG5399 GodG3588G2316, andG5037 of good reportG3140 amongG5259 allG3650 the nationG3588G1484 of the JewsG2453, was warned from GodG5537 byG5259 an holyG40 angelG32 to send forG3343 theeG4771 intoG1519 hisG846 houseG3588G3624, andG2532 to hearG191 wordsG4487 ofG3844 theeG4771. 23ThenG3767 called heG1528 themG846 inG1528, and lodgedG3579 them. AndG1161 on the morrowG1887 PeterG3588G4074 went awayG1831 withG4862 themG846, andG2532 certainG5100 brethrenG3588G80 fromG575 JoppaG3588G2445 accompaniedG4905 himG846. 24AndG2532 the morrow afterG1887 they enteredG3588G1525 intoG1519 CæsareaG3588G2542. AndG1161 CorneliusG3588G2883 waited forG4328 themG846, and hadG1510 called togetherG4779 hisG846 kinsmenG3588G4773 andG2532 nearG3588G316 friendsG5384. 25AndG1161 asG5613 PeterG3588G4074 wasG1096 coming inG1525, CorneliusG3588G2883 metG4876 himG846, and fell downG4098 atG1909 his feetG3588G4228, and worshippedG4352 him. 26ButG1161 PeterG4074 tookG1453 himG846 upG1453, sayingG3004, Stand upG450; IG2504 myselfG846 alsoG2504 amG1510 a manG444. 27AndG2532 as he talked withG4926 himG846, he went inG1525, andG2532 foundG2147 manyG4183 that were come togetherG4905. 28AndG5037 he saidG5346 untoG4314 themG846, YeG4771 knowG1987 how thatG5613 it is an unlawful thingG111 for a manG435 that isG1510 a JewG2453 to keep companyG2853, orG2228 come untoG4334 one of another nationG246; butG2532 GodG3588G2316 hath shewedG1166 meG1473 thatG1166 I shouldG3004 notG3367 callG3004 any manG444 commonG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169. 29ThereforeG1352 came IG2064 unto you without gainsayingG369, as soon as I was sent forG3343: I askG4441 thereforeG3767 for whatG5101 intentG3056 ye have sent forG3343 meG1473? 30AndG2532 CorneliusG3588G2883 saidG5346, FourG5067 daysG2250 agoG575 I wasG1510 fastingG3522 untilG3360 thisG3778 hourG3588G5610; andG2532 at the ninthG1766 hourG5610 I prayedG4336 inG1722 myG1473 houseG3588G3624, andG2532, beholdG3708, a manG435 stoodG2476 beforeG1799 meG1473 inG1722 brightG2986 clothingG2066, 31AndG2532 saidG5346, CorneliusG2883, thyG4771 prayerG3588G4335 is heardG1522, andG2532 thineG4771 almsG3588G1654 are had in remembranceG3403 in the sight ofG1799 GodG3588G2316. 32SendG3992 thereforeG3767 toG1519 JoppaG2445, andG2532 call hitherG3333 SimonG4613, whoseG3739 surname isG1941 PeterG4074; heG3778 is lodgedG3579 inG1722 the houseG3614 ofG4613 one SimonG4613 a tannerG1038 byG3844 the sea sideG2281: whoG3739, when he comethG3854, shall speakG2980 unto theeG4771. 33ImmediatelyG1824 thereforeG3767 I sentG3992 toG4314 theeG4771; andG5037 thouG4771 hastG4160 wellG2573 doneG4160 that thou art comeG3854. NowG3568 thereforeG3767 are weG1473 allG3956 here presentG3918 beforeG1799 GodG3588G2316, to hearG191 all thingsG3956 thatG3588 are commandedG4367 theeG4771 ofG5259 GodG3588G2316.
34ThenG1161 PeterG4074 openedG455 his mouthG3588G4750, and saidG3004, OfG1909 a truthG225 I perceiveG2638 thatG3754 GodG3588G2316 isG1510 noG3756 respecter of personsG4381: 35ButG235 inG1722 everyG3956 nationG1484 heG3588 that fearethG5399 himG846, andG2532 workethG2038 righteousnessG1343, isG1510 acceptedG1184 with himG846. 36The wordG3588G3056 whichG3739 God sentG649 unto the childrenG3588G5207 of IsraelG2474, preachingG2097 peaceG1515 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: (heG3778 isG1510 LordG2962 of allG3956:) 37That wordG4487, I say, yeG4771 knowG1492, which was publishedG1096 throughoutG2596 allG3650 JudæaG3588G2449, and beganG756 fromG575 GalileeG3588G1056, afterG3326 the baptismG3588G908 whichG3739 JohnG2491 preachedG2784; 38HowG5613 GodG3588G2316 anointedG5548 JesusG2424 ofG575 NazarethG3478 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 with powerG1411: whoG3739 went aboutG1330 doing goodG2109, andG2532 healingG2390 allG3956 thatG3588 were oppressedG2616 ofG5259 the devilG1228; forG3754 GodG3588G2316 wasG1510 withG3326 himG846. 39AndG2532 weG1473 areG1510 witnessesG3144 of all thingsG3956 whichG3739 he didG4160 bothG5037 inG1722 the landG3588G5561 of the JewsG2453, andG2532 inG1722 JerusalemG2419; whomG3739 they slewG337 and hangedG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586: 40HimG3778 GodG3588G2316 raised upG1453 the thirdG5154 dayG2250, andG2532 shewedG1325 himG846 openlyG1717; 41NotG3756 to allG3956 the peopleG3588G2992, butG235 unto witnessesG3144 chosen beforeG4401 ofG5259 GodG3588G2316, even to usG1473, whoG3748 did eatG4906 andG2532 drink withG4844 himG846 afterG3326 heG846 roseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498. 42AndG2532 he commandedG3853 usG1473 to preachG2784 unto the peopleG3588G2992, andG2532 to testifyG1263 thatG3754 itG846 isG1510 he whichG3588 was ordainedG3724 ofG5259 GodG3588G2316 to be the JudgeG2923 of quickG2198 andG2532 deadG3498. 43To himG3778 giveG3140 allG3956 the prophetsG3588G4396 witnessG3140, that throughG1223 hisG846 nameG3588G3686 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 inG1519 himG846 shall receiveG2983 remissionG859 of sinsG266. 44
While PeterG3588G4074 yetG2089 spakeG2980 theseG3778 wordsG3588G4487, the HolyG40 GhostG3588G4151 fellG1968 onG1909 allG3956 themG3588 which heardG191 the wordG3588G3056. 45AndG2532 theyG3588 ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 which believedG4103 were astonishedG1839, as many asG3745 cameG4905 with PeterG3588G4074, because thatG3754 onG1909 the GentilesG3588G1484 alsoG2532 was poured outG1632 the giftG3588G1431 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151. 46ForG1063 they heardG191 themG846 speakG2980 with tonguesG1100, andG2532 magnifyG3170 GodG3588G2316. ThenG5119 answeredG611 PeterG3588G4074, 47CanG1410 any manG5100 forbidG2967 waterG3588G5204, thatG2967 theseG3778 shouldG907 notG3361 be baptizedG907, whichG3748 have receivedG2983 the HolyG40 GhostG3588G4151 as wellG2531 asG2532 weG1473? 48AndG5037 he commandedG4367 themG846 to be baptizedG907 inG1722 the nameG3588G3686 of the LordG3588G2962. ThenG5119 prayed theyG2065 himG846 to tarryG1961 certainG5100 daysG2250.
