19
While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20
Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21
Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold,
I am he whom ye seek: what
is
the cause wherefore ye are come?
22
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.
23
Then called he them in, and lodged
them.
And on the morrow Peter went away with them,
and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24
And the morrow after they entered into
Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25
And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped
him.
26
But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
27
And as he talked with him,
he went in, and found many that were come together.
28
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.
29
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?
30
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,
31
And said, Cornelius,
thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
32
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.
33
Immediately therefore I sent
to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before
God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
34
Then Peter opened
his
mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of
persons:
35
But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with
him.
36
The word which
God
sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he
is Lord of all:)
37
That word,
I say,
ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began
from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with
the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed
of the devil; for God was with him.
39
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the
land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
40
Him God raised up
the third day, and shewed him openly;
41
Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before
of God,
even
to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
42
And he commanded
us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God
to be
the Judge
of quick and dead.
43
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever
believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45
And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter,
because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46
For they heard them
