Acts:10:1-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But ,
a certain man in Caesarea ,
by name Cornelius ,
a centurion of the band called Italian ,
*
Devout ,
and fearing God with all his house ,
doing many alms unto the people ,
and supplicating God continually ,
*
Saw ,
in a vision ,
manifestly ,
as if about the ninth hour of the day ,
a messenger of God ,
coming in unto him ,
and saying unto him Cornelius !
*
And he ,
looking steadfastly at him ,
and becoming full of fear ,
said What is it ,
Lord ?
And he said unto him Thy prayers and thine alms ,
have gone up for a memorial before God .
*
Now ,
therefore ,
send men unto Joppa ,
and fetch one Simon who is surnamed Peter ,
*
The same is a guest with one Simon a tanner ,
whose house is by the sea .
*
And ,
when the messenger who had been speaking with him had departed ,
calling two of the domestics ,
and a devout soldier of them that constantly attended him ,
*
And relating everything unto them ,
he sent them off unto Joppa .
*
Now ,
on the morrow ,
as those men were journeying ,
and ,
unto the city ,
drawing near ,
Peter went up on the housetop to pray ,
about the sixth hour ;
*
But he became hungry ,
and wished to eat ,
and ,
while they were making ready ,
there came upon him a trance ;
*
And he beholdeth heaven opened ,
and ,
corning down ,
a kind of vessel ,
like a large linen cloth ,
by its four corners ,
being let down upon the earth ,
