ylt @Acts:10:1 @And there was a certain man in Cesarea , by name Cornelius , a centurion from a band called Italian , ylt @Acts:10:2 @pious , and fearing God with all his house , doing also many kind acts to the people , and beseeching God always , ylt @Acts:10:3 @he saw in a vision manifestly , as it were the ninth hour of the day , a messenger of God coming in unto him , and saying to him , 'Cornelius ;' ylt @Acts:10:4 @and he having looked earnestly on him , and becoming afraid , said , 'What is it , Lord ?' And he said to him , 'Thy prayers and thy kind acts came up for a memorial before God , ylt @Acts:10:5 @and now send men to Joppa , and send for a certain one Simon , who is surnamed Peter , ylt @Acts:10:6 @this one doth lodge with a certain Simon a tanner , whose house is by the sea ; this one shall speak to thee what it behoveth thee to do .' ylt @Acts:10:7 @And when the messenger who is speaking to Cornelius went away , having called two of his domestics , and a pious soldier of those waiting on him continually , ylt @Acts:10:8 @and having declared to them all things , he sent them to Joppa . ylt @Acts:10:9 @And on the morrow , as these are proceeding on the way , and are drawing nigh to the city , Peter went up upon the house-top to pray , about the sixth hour , ylt @Acts:10:10 @and he became very hungry , and wished to eat ; and they making ready , there fell upon him a trance , ylt @Acts:10:11 @and he doth behold the heaven opened , and descending unto him a certain vessel , as a great sheet , bound at the four corners , and let down upon the earth , ylt @Acts:10:12 @in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth , and the wild beasts , and the creeping things , and the fowls of the heaven , ylt @Acts:10:13 @and there came a voice unto him : 'Having risen , Peter , slay and eat .' ylt @Acts:10:14 @And Peter said , 'Not so , Lord ; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean ;' ylt @Acts:10:15 @and [there is ] a voice again a second time unto him : 'What God did cleanse , thou , declare not thou common ;' ylt @Acts:10:16 @and this was done thrice , and again was the vessel received up to the heaven . ylt @Acts:10:17 @And as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision that he saw might be , then , lo , the men who have been sent from Cornelius , having made inquiry for the house of Simon , stood at the gate , ylt @Acts:10:18 @and having called , they were asking if Simon , who is surnamed Peter , doth lodge here ? ylt @Acts:10:19 @And Peter thinking about the vision , the Spirit said to him , 'Lo , three men do seek thee ; ylt @Acts:10:20 @but having risen , go down and go on with them , nothing doubting , because I have sent them ;' ylt @Acts:10:21 @and Peter having come down unto the men who have been sent from Cornelius unto him , said , 'Lo , I am he whom ye seek , what [is ] the cause for which ye are present ?' ylt @Acts:10:22 @And they said , 'Cornelius , a centurion , a man righteous and fearing God , well testified to , also , by all the nation of the Jews , was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for thee , to his house , and to hear sayings from thee .' ylt @Acts:10:23 @Having called them in , therefore , he lodged them , and on the morrow Peter went forth with them , and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him , ylt @Acts:10:24 @and on the morrow they did enter into Cesarea ; and Cornelius was waiting for them , having called together his kindred and near friends , ylt @Acts:10:25 @and as it came that Peter entered in , Cornelius having met him , having fallen at [his ] feet , did bow before [him ]; ylt @Acts:10:26 @and Peter raised him , saying , 'Stand up ; I also myself am a man ;' ylt @Acts:10:27 @and talking with him he went in , and doth find many having come together . ylt @Acts:10:28 @And he said unto them , 'Ye know how it is unlawful for a man , a Jew , to keep company with , or to come unto , one of another race , but to me God did shew to call no man common or unclean ; ylt @Acts:10:29 @therefore also without gainsaying I came , having been sent for ; I ask , therefore , for what matter ye did send for me ?' ylt @Acts:10:30 @And Cornelius said , 'Four days ago till this hour , I was fasting , and [at ] the ninth hour praying in my house , and , lo , a man stood before me in bright clothing , ylt @Acts:10:31 @and he said , Cornelius , thy prayer was heard , and thy kind acts were remembered before God ; ylt @Acts:10:32 @send , therefore , to Joppa , and call for Simon , who is surnamed Peter ; this one doth lodge in the house of Simon a tanner , by the sea , who having come , shall speak to thee ; ylt @Acts:10:33 @at once , therefore , I sent to thee ; thou also didst do well , having come ; now , therefore , are we all before God present to hear all things that have been commanded thee by God .' ylt @Acts:10:34 @And Peter having opened his mouth , said , 'Of a truth , I perceive that God is no respecter of persons , ylt @Acts:10:35 @but in every nation he who is fearing Him , and is working righteousness , is acceptable to Him ; ylt @Acts:10:36 @the word that he sent to the sons of Israel , proclaiming good news -- peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of all ,) ylt @Acts:10:37 @ye -- ye have known ; -- the word that came throughout all Judea , having begun from Galilee , after the baptism that John preached ; ylt @Acts:10:38 @Jesus who [is ] from Nazareth -- how God did anoint him with the Holy Spirit and power ; who went through , doing good , and healing all those oppressed by the devil , because God was with him ; ylt @Acts:10:39 @and we -- we are witnesses of all things that he did , both in the country of the Jews , and in Jerusalem , -- whom they did slay , having hanged upon a tree . ylt @Acts:10:40 @'This one God did raise up the third day , and gave him to become manifest , ylt @Acts:10:41 @not to all the people , but to witnesses , to those having been chosen before by God -- to us who did eat with [him ], and did drink with him , after his rising out of the dead ; ylt @Acts:10:42 @and he commanded us to preach to the people , and to testify fully that it is he who hath been ordained by God judge of living and dead -- ylt @Acts:10:43 @to this one do all the prophets testify , that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins .' ylt @Acts:10:44 @While Peter is yet speaking these sayings , the Holy spirit fell upon all those hearing the word , ylt @Acts:10:45 @and those of the circumcision believing were astonished -- as many as came with Peter -- because also upon the nations the gift of the Holy Spirit hath been poured out , ylt @Acts:10:46 @for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God . ylt @Acts:10:47 @Then answered Peter , 'The water is any one able to forbid , that these may not be baptized , who the Holy Spirit did receive -- even as also we ?' ylt @Acts:10:48 @he commanded them also to be baptized in the name of the Lord ; then they besought him to remain certain days .
