1There wasG2258 a certainG5100 manG435 inG1722 CaesareaG2542 calledG3686 CorneliusG2883, a centurionG1543 ofG1537 the bandG4686 calledG2564 the ItalianG2483 band, 2A devoutG2152 man, andG2532 one that fearedG5399 GodG2316 withG4862 allG3956 hisG846 houseG3624, whoG5037 gaveG4160 muchG4183 almsG1654 to the peopleG2992, andG2532 prayedG1189 to GodG2316 alwaysG1275. 3He sawG1492 inG1722 a visionG3705 evidentlyG5320 aboutG5616 the ninthG1766 hourG5610 of the dayG2250 an angelG32 of GodG2316 coming inG1525 toG4314 himG846, andG2532 sayingG2036 to himG846, CorneliusG2883. 4AndG1161 when he lookedG816 on himG846, he wasG1096 afraidG1719, andG2532 saidG2036, WhatG5101 is itG2076, LordG2962? AndG1161 he saidG2036 to himG846, ThyG4675 prayersG4335 andG2532 thyG4675 almsG1654 are come upG305 forG1519 a memorialG3422 beforeG1799 GodG2316. 5AndG2532 nowG3568 sendG3992 menG435 toG1519 JoppaG2445, andG2532 call forG3343 one SimonG4613, whoseG3739 surname isG1941 PeterG4074: 6HeG3778 lodgethG3579 withG3844 oneG5100 SimonG4613 a tannerG1038, whoseG3739 houseG3614 isG2076 byG3844 the sea sideG2281: heG3778 shall tellG2980 theeG4671 whatG5101 thouG4571 oughtestG1163 to doG4160. 7AndG1161 whenG5613 the angelG32 whoG3588 spokeG2980 to CorneliusG2883 had departedG565, he calledG5455 twoG1417 of hisG846 household servantsG3610, andG2532 a devoutG2152 soldierG4757 of them that waited onG4342 himG846 continuallyG4342; 8AndG2532 when he had declaredG1834 all these thingsG537 to themG846, he sentG649 themG846 toG1519 JoppaG2445.

On the next dayG1887, as theyG1565 were going on their journeyG3596, andG2532 drew nearG1448 to the cityG4172, PeterG4074 went upG305 uponG1909 the housetopG1430 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 heavenG3772 openedG455, andG2532 a certainG5100 vesselG4632 descendingG2597 toG1909 himG846, asG5613 it had been a greatG3173 sheetG3607 knitG1210 at the fourG5064 cornersG746, andG2532 let downG2524 toG1909 the earthG1093: 12InG1722 whichG3739 wereG5225 all mannerG3956 of fourfooted beastsG5074 of the earthG1093, andG2532 wild beastsG2342, andG2532 creeping thingsG2062, andG2532 fowlsG4071 of the airG3772. 13AndG2532 there cameG1096 a voiceG5456 toG4314 himG846, RiseG450, PeterG4074; killG2380, andG2532 eatG5315. 14ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036, Not soG3365, LordG2962; forG3754 I haveG5315 neverG3763 eatenG5315 any thingG3956 that is commonG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169. 15AndG2532 the voiceG5456 spoke toG4314 himG846 againG3825G1537 the second timeG1208, WhatG3739 GodG2316 hath cleansedG2511, that callG2840 notG3361 thouG4771 commonG2840. 16ThisG5124 was doneG1096 three timesG1909G5151: andG2532 the vesselG4632 was received upG353 againG3825 intoG1519 heavenG3772. 17NowG1161 whileG5613 PeterG4074 greatly perplexedG1280 inG1722 himselfG1438 whatG5101 this visionG3705 whichG3739 he had seenG1492 should meanG302G1498, beholdG2400G2532, the menG435 whoG3588 were sentG649 fromG575 CorneliusG2883 had made enquiryG1331 for Simon’sG4613 houseG3614, and stoodG2186 beforeG1909 the gateG4440, 18AndG2532 calledG5455, and askedG4441 whetherG1487 SimonG4613, whoG3588 was surnamedG1941 PeterG4074, lodgedG3579 thereG1759.

19WhileG1161 PeterG4074 thoughtG1760 onG4012 the visionG3705, the SpiritG4151 saidG2036 to himG846, BeholdG2400, threeG5140 menG435 seekG2212 theeG4571. 20AriseG450 thereforeG235, and go downG2597, andG2532 goG4198 withG4862 themG846, doubtingG1252 nothingG3367: forG1360 IG1473 have sentG649 themG846. 21ThenG1161 PeterG4074 went downG2597 toG4314 the menG435 whoG3588 were sentG649 toG4314 himG846 fromG575 CorneliusG2883; and saidG2036, BeholdG2400, IG1473 amG1510 he whomG3739 ye seekG2212: whatG5101 is the causeG156 forG1223 whichG3739 ye have comeG3918? 22AndG1161 they saidG2036, CorneliusG2883 the centurionG1543, a justG1342 manG435, andG2532 one that fearethG5399 GodG2316, andG5037 of good reportG3140 amongG5259 allG3650 the nationG1484 of the JewsG2453, was warned from GodG5537 byG5259 an holyG40 angelG32 to sendG3343 for theeG4571 intoG1519 hisG846 houseG3624, andG2532 to hearG191 wordsG4487 fromG3844 theeG4675.
