There
was
a
certain
man
in
Caesarea
called
Cornelius
, a
centurion
of
the
band
called
the
Italian
band,
strkjv@Acts:10:2
@ A
devout
man,
and
one that
feared
God
with
all
his
house

which
gave
much
alms
to the
people
,

prayed
to
God
alway

strkjv@Acts:10:3
@ He
saw
in
a
vision
evidently
about
the
ninth
hour
of the
day
an
angel
of

coming
in
to
him

saying
unto
him
,
Cornelius

strkjv@Acts:10:4
@
And
when he
looked
on

was
afraid

said

What
is
it
,
Lord
?
And
he
said
unto
him
,
Thy
prayers
and
thine
alms
are come
up
for
a
memorial
before
God
.
strkjv@Acts:10:5
@
And
now
send
men
to
Joppa
,
and
call
for
one
Simon
,
whose
surname
is
Peter

strkjv@Acts:10:6
@
He
lodgeth
with
one
Simon
a
tanner
,
whose
house
is
by
the sea
side

he
shall
tell
thee
what
thou
oughtest
to
do
.
strkjv@Acts:10:7
@
And
when
the
angel
which
spake
unto
Cornelius
was
departed
, he
called
two
of
his
household
servants
,
and
a
devout
soldier
of them that waited
on
him
continually
;
strkjv@Acts:10:8
@
And
when he had
declared
all these
things
unto
them

sent
them
to
Joppa

strkjv@Acts:10:9
@
On the
morrow
, as
they
went on their
journey
,
and
drew
nigh
unto the
city
,
Peter
went
up
upon
the
housetop
to
pray
about
the
sixth
hour
:
strkjv@Acts:10:10
@
And
he
became
very
hungry
,
and
would
have
eaten
:
but
while
they
made
ready
,
he
fell
into
a
trance
,
strkjv@Acts:10:11
@
And
saw
heaven
opened
,
and
a
certain
vessel
descending
unto
him
,
as
it had been a
great
sheet
knit
at the
four
corners
,
and
let
down
to
the
earth
:
strkjv@Acts:10:12
@
Wherein
were
all
manner
of fourfooted
beasts
of the
earth
,
and
wild
beasts
,
and
creeping
things
,
and
fowls
of the
air
.
strkjv@Acts:10:13
@
And
there
came
a
voice
to
him
,
Rise
,
Peter
;
kill
,
and
eat
.
strkjv@Acts:10:14
@
But
Peter
said
, Not
so
,
Lord
;
for
I
have
never
eaten
any
thing
that is
common
or
unclean
.
strkjv@Acts:10:15
@
And
the
voice
spake
unto
him
again
the second
time
,
What
God
hath
cleansed
, that
call
not
thou
common
.
strkjv@Acts:10:16
@
This
was
done
thrice
:
and
the
vessel
was received
up
again
into
heaven
.
strkjv@Acts:10:17
@
Now
while
Peter
doubted
in
himself
what
this
vision
which
he had
seen
should
mean
,
behold
, the
men
which
were
sent
from
Cornelius
had made
enquiry
for
Simons
house
, and
stood
before
the
gate
,
strkjv@Acts:10:18
@
And
called
, and
asked
whether
Simon
,
which
was
surnamed
Peter
, were
lodged
there
.
strkjv@Acts:10:19
@
While
Peter
thought
on
the
vision
, the
Spirit
said
unto
him
,
Behold
,
three
men
seek
thee
.
strkjv@Acts:10:20
@
Arise
therefore
, and get thee
down
,
and
go
with
them
,
doubting
nothing
:
for
I
have
sent
them
.
strkjv@Acts:10:21
@
Then
Peter
went
down
to
the
men
which
were
sent
unto
him
from
Cornelius
; and
said
,
Behold
,
I
am
he
whom
ye
seek
:
what
is the
cause
wherefore
ye are
come
?
strkjv@Acts:10:22
@
And
they
said
,
Cornelius
the
centurion
, a
just
man
,
and
one that
feareth
God
,
and
of good
report
among
all
the
nation
of the
Jews
, was warned from
God
by
an
holy
angel
to
send
for
thee
into
his
house
,
and
to
hear
words
of
thee
.
strkjv@Acts:10:23
@
Then
called
he
them
in
, and
lodged
them.
And
on the
morrow
Peter
went
away
with
them
,
and
certain
brethren
from
Joppa
accompanied
him
.
strkjv@Acts:10:24
@
And
the
morrow
after they
entered
into
Caesarea
.
And
Cornelius
waited
for
them
, and had called
together
his
kinsmen
and
near
friends
.
strkjv@Acts:10:25
@
And
as
Peter
was
coming
in
,
Cornelius
met
him
, and fell
down
at
his
feet
, and
worshipped
him.
strkjv@Acts:10:26
@
But
Peter
took
him
up
,
saying
, Stand
up
;
I
myself
also
am
a
man
.
strkjv@Acts:10:27
@
And
as he
talked
with
him
, he went
in
,
and
found
many
that were come
together
.
strkjv@Acts:10:28
@
And
he
said
unto
them
,
Ye
know
how
that it
is
an unlawful
thing
for a
man
that is a
Jew
to keep
company
,
or
come
unto
one of another
nation
;
but
God
hath
shewed
me
that I should
not
call
any
man
common
or
unclean
.
strkjv@Acts:10:29
@
Therefore
came
I
unto you without
gainsaying
, as soon as I was sent
for
: I
ask
therefore
for
what
intent
ye have sent
for
me
?
strkjv@Acts:10:30
@
And
Cornelius
said
,
Four
days
ago
I
was
fasting
until
this
hour
;
and
at the
ninth
hour
I
prayed
in
my
house
,
and
,
behold
, a
man
stood
before
me
in
bright
clothing
,
strkjv@Acts:10:31
@
And
said
,
Cornelius
,
thy
prayer
is
heard
,
and
thine
alms
are had in
remembrance
in the
sight
of
God
.
strkjv@Acts:10:32
@
Send
therefore
to
Joppa
,
and
call
hither
Simon
,
whose
surname
is
Peter
;
he
is
lodged
in
the
house
of one
Simon
a
tanner
by
the sea
side
:
who
, when he
cometh
, shall
speak
unto
thee
.
strkjv@Acts:10:33
@
Immediately
therefore
I
sent
to
thee
;
and
thou
hast
well
done
that thou art
come

Now
therefore
are
we
all
here
present
before
God
, to
hear
all
things
that are
commanded
thee
of
God

strkjv@Acts:10:34
@
Then
Peter
opened
his
mouth
, and
said
,
Of
a
truth
I
perceive
that
God
is
no
respecter of
persons
:
strkjv@Acts:10:35
@
But
in
every
nation
he that
feareth
him
,

worketh
righteousness

is
accepted
with
him

word

children

Israel

preaching
peace
by
Jesus
Christ

is
Lord
of
all

strkjv@Acts:10:37
@ That
word
, I say,
ye
know

published
throughout
all
Judaea

began
from
Galilee

after
the
baptism
which
John
preached

strkjv@Acts:10:38
@
How
God
anointed
Jesus
of
Nazareth
with the
Holy
Ghost

with
power

who
went
about
doing
good

and
healing
all
that were
oppressed

the
devil

God
was
with

witnesses

did

they
slew

hanged
on

tree

strkjv@Acts:10:40
@
Him
God
raised
up
the
third
day

shewed
him
openly

strkjv@Acts:10:41
@
Not
to

the
people

unto
witnesses
chosen
before
of
God

us

who
did
eat
and
drink
with
him
after
he
rose
from
the
dead

strkjv@Acts:10:42
@
And
he
commanded
us
to
preach
unto the
people

to
testify

it

God
to be the
Judge

him

spake

Ghost
fell
on

strkjv@Acts:10:45
@
And
they
of

circumcision

believed

astonished

out
