strkjv Acts:10:2-35 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
A devout man ,
and one that feared (
5740 )
God with all his house ,
which gave (
5723 )
much alms to the people ,
and prayed (
5740 )
to God alway .
*
He saw (
5627 )
in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in (
5631 )
to him ,
and saying (
5631 )
unto him ,
Cornelius .
*
And when he looked (
5660 )
on him ,
he was (
5637 )
afraid ,
and said (
5627 ),
What is it (
5748 ),
Lord ?
And he said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Thy prayers and thine alms are come up (
5627 )
for a memorial before God .
*
And now send (
5657 )
men to Joppa ,
and call for (
5663 )
one Simon ,
whose surname is (
5743 )
Peter :
*
He lodgeth (
5743 )
with one Simon a tanner ,
whose house is (
5748 )
by the sea side :
he shall tell (
5692 )
thee what thou oughtest (
5748 )
to do (
5721 ).
*
And when the angel which spake (
5723 )
unto Cornelius was departed (
5627 ),
he called (
5660 )
two of his household servants ,
and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually (
5723 );
*
And when he had declared (
5666 )
all these things unto them ,
he sent (
5656 )
them to Joppa .
*
On the morrow ,
as they went on their journey (
5723 ),
and drew nigh (
5723 )
unto the city ,
Peter went up (
5627 )
upon the housetop to pray (
5664 )
about the sixth hour :
*
And he became (
5633 )
very hungry ,
and would (
5707 )
have eaten (
5664 ):
but while they made ready (
5723 ),
he fell (
5627 )
into a trance ,
*
And saw (
5719 )
heaven opened (
5772 ),
and a certain vessel descending (
5723 )
unto him ,
as it had been a great sheet knit (
5772 )
at the four corners ,
and let down (
5746 )
to the earth :
*
Wherein were (
5707 )
all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth ,
and wild beasts ,
and creeping things ,
and fowls of the air .
*
And there came (
5633 )
a voice to him ,
Rise (
5631 ),
Peter ;
kill (
5657 ),
and eat (
5628 ).
*
But Peter said (
5627 ),
Not so ,
Lord ;
for I have never eaten (
5627 )
any thing that is common or unclean .
*
And the voice spake unto him again the second time ,
What God hath cleansed (
5656 ),
that call not thou common (
5720 ).
*
This was done (
5633 )
thrice :
and the vessel was received up (
5681 )
again into heaven .
*
Now while Peter doubted (
5707 )
in himself what this vision which he had seen (
5627 )
should mean (
5751 ),
behold (
5628 ),
the men which were sent (
5772 )
from Cornelius had made enquiry (
5660 )
for Simons house ,
and stood (
5627 )
before the gate ,
*
And called (
5660 ),
and asked (
5711 )
whether Simon ,
which was surnamed (
5746 )
Peter ,
were lodged (
5743 )
there .
*
While Peter thought (
5740 )
on the vision ,
the Spirit said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Behold (
5628 ),
three men seek (
5719 )
thee .
*
Arise (
5631 )
therefore ,
and get thee down (
5628 ),
and go (
5737 )
with them ,
doubting (
5734 )
nothing :
for I have sent (
5758 )
them .
*
Then Peter went down (
5631 )
to the men which were sent (
5772 )
unto him from Cornelius ;
and said (
5627 ),
Behold (
5628 ),
I am (
5748 )
he whom ye seek (
5719 ):
what is the cause wherefore ye are come (
5748 )?
*
And they said (
5627 ),
Cornelius the centurion ,
a just man ,
and one that feareth (
5740 )
God ,
and of good report (
5746 )
among all the nation of the Jews ,
was warned from God (
5681 )
by an holy angel to send (
5664 )
for thee into his house ,
and to hear (
5658 )
words of thee .
*
Then called he them in (
5662 ),
and lodged (
5656 )
them .
And on the morrow Peter went away (
5627 )
with them ,
and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied (
5627 )
him .
*
And the morrow after they entered (
5627 )
into Caesarea .
And Cornelius waited for (
5723 )
them (
5713 ),
and had called together (
5671 )
his kinsmen and near friends .
*
And as Peter was (
5633 )
coming in (
5629 ),
Cornelius met (
5660 )
him ,
and fell down (
5631 )
at his feet ,
and worshipped (
5656 )
him .
*
But Peter took him up (
5656 ),
saying (
5723 ),
Stand up (
5628 );
I myself also am (
5748 )
a man .
*
And as he talked (
5723 )
with him ,
he went in (
5627 ),
and found (
5719 )
many that were come together (
5761 ).
*
And he said (
5713 )
unto them ,
Ye know (
5736 )
how that it is (
5748 )
an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company (
5745 ),
or come unto (
5738 )
one of another nation ;
but God hath shewed (
5656 )
me that I should not call (
5721 )
any man common or unclean .
*
Therefore came I (
5627 )
unto you without gainsaying ,
as soon as I was sent for (
5685 ):
I ask (
5736 )
therefore for what intent ye have sent for (
5662 )
me ?
*
And Cornelius said (
5713 ),
Four days ago I was (
5713 )
fasting (
5723 )
until this hour ;
and at the ninth hour I prayed (
5740 )
in my house ,
and ,
behold (
5628 ),
a man stood (
5627 )
before me in bright clothing ,
*
And said (
5748 ),
Cornelius ,
thy prayer is heard (
5681 ),
and thine alms are had in remembrance (
5681 )
in the sight of God .
*
Send (
5657 )
therefore to Joppa ,
and call hither (
5669 )
Simon ,
whose surname is (
5743 )
Peter ;
he is lodged (
5743 )
in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side :
who ,
when he cometh (
5637 ),
shall speak (
5692 )
unto thee .
*
Immediately therefore I sent (
5656 )
to thee ;
and thou hast well done (
5656 )
that thou art come (
5637 ).
Now therefore are we all here present (
5748 )
before God ,
to hear (
5658 )
all things that are commanded (
5772 )
thee of God .
*
Then Peter opened (
5660 )
his mouth ,
and said (
5627 ),
Of a truth I perceive (
5731 )
that God is (
5748 )
no respecter of persons :
*
But in every nation he that feareth (
5740 )
him ,
and worketh (
5740 )
righteousness ,
is (
5748 )
accepted with him .
