*
At Caesare '
a there was a man named Cornelius ,
a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort ,
*
a devout man who feared God with all his household ,
gave alms liberally to the people ,
and prayed constantly to God .
*
About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him , "
Cornelius ."
*
And he stared at him in terror ,
and said , "
What is it ,
Lord ?"
And he said to him , "
Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God .
*
And now send men to Joppa ,
and bring one Simon who is called Peter ;
*
he is lodging with Simon ,
a tanner ,
whose house is by the seaside ."
*
When the angel who spoke to him had departed ,
he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those that waited on him ,
*
and having related everything to them ,
he sent them to Joppa .
*
The next day ,
as they were on their journey and coming near the city ,
Peter went up on the housetop to pray ,
about the sixth hour .
*
And he became hungry and desired something to eat ;
but while they were preparing it ,
he fell into a trance
*
and saw the heaven opened ,
and something descending ,
like a great sheet ,
let down by four corners upon the earth .
