Cornelius, a devout man, being commanded by an angel, sends for Peter, |
who by a vision is taught not to despise the Gentiles; |
and is commanded by the Spirit to go with the messenger to Caesarea. |
24 τῇ δὲ ἐπαύριον εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν Καισάρειαν. ὁ δὲ Κορνήλιος ἦν προσδοκῶν αὐτοὺς συγκαλεσάμενος τοὺς συγγενεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἀναγκαίους φίλους. |
Cornelius shows the occasion of his sending for him. |
As he preaches Christ to Cornelius and his company, |
the Holy Spirit falls on them, and they are baptized. |
