Acts 10:1-8 ▼

1 New a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of a band, called the Italian band ?

2 devout, and fearing God with all his house, giving many alms to the people, and praying to God continually?

3 saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him, "Cornelius!"

4 And he, looking intently on him, and becoming much afraid, said, "What is it, lord?" And he said to him, "Your prayers and alms went up for a memorial before God.

5 And now send men to Joppa, and fetch one Simon, who is surnamed Peter;

6 the same is guest with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea."

7 And, when the angel who was talking to him departed, having called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those attending him;

8 and, having recounted all things to them , he sent them to Joppa.
