1 Fvrthermore there was a certaine man in Cesarea called Cornelius, a captaine of the band called the Italian band,

2 A deuoute man, and one that feared God with all his housholde, which gaue much almes to the people, and prayed God continually.

3 He sawe in a vision euidently (about the ninth houre of the day) an Angel of God coming in to him, and saying vnto him, Cornelius.

4 But when hee looked on him, hee was afrayd, and sayd, What is it, Lord? And he sayd vnto him, Thy prayers & thine almes are come vp into remembrance before God.

5 Nowe therefore send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.

6 Hee lodgeth with one Simon a Tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to doe.

7 And when the Angel which spake vnto Cornelius, was departed, he called two of his seruants, and a souldier that feared God, one of them that waited on him,

8 And tolde them all things, and sent them to Ioppa.
