*
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 .
*
Then called he them in ,
and lodged them .
And on the morrow Peter went away with them ,
and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him .
*
And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea .
And Cornelius waited for them ,
and had called together his kinsmen and near friends .
*
And as Peter was coming in ,
Cornelius met him ,
and fell down at his feet ,
and worshipped him .
*
But Peter took him up ,
saying ,
Stand up ;
I myself also am a man .
*
And as he talked with him ,
he went in ,
and found many that were come together .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
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 ,
*
And said ,
Cornelius ,
thy prayer is heard ,
and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God .
*
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 .
