1 A man named Cornelius lived in the city of Caesarea. He was a Roman army officer in the Italian Regiment. 2 He and everyone in his home were devout and respected God. Cornelius gave many gifts to poor Jewish people and always prayed to God. 3 One day, about three in the afternoon, he had a vision. He clearly saw an angel from God come to him and say, |Cornelius!| 4 He stared at the angel and was terrified. Cornelius asked the angel, |What do you want, sir?| The angel answered him, |God is aware of your prayers and your gifts to the poor, and he has remembered you. 5 Send messengers now to the city of Joppa, and summon a man whose name is Simon Peter. 6 He is a guest of Simon, a leatherworker, whose house is by the sea.| Acts 10:1-6, God's Word Translation.
