Acts 10:4 He,1161 fastening his eyes816 on him,846 and2532 being1096 frightened,1719 said,2036 "What5101 is it,2076 Lord?"2962 He1161 said2036 to him,846 "Your4675 prayers4335 and1161 your4675 gifts1654 to the needy have gone up305 for1519 a memorial3422 before1799 God.231652532 Now3568 send3992 men435 to1519 Joppa,2445 and2532 get3343 Simon,4613 who3739 is1941 surnamed Peter.40746 He3778 lodges3579 with3844 one5100 Simon,4613 a tanner,1038 whose3739 house3614 is2076 by3844 the seaside."2281{TR adds “This one will tell you what it is necessary for you to do.”}
Acts 10:71161 When5613 the angel32 who3588 spoke2980 to him2883 had departed,565 Cornelius called5455 two1417 of his846 household servants3610 and2532 a devout2152 soldier4757 of those3588 who waited4342 on him846 continually.43428 Having2532 explained1834537 everything537 to them,846 he sent649 them846 to1519 Joppa.24459 Now on1161 the next day1887 as1565 they were on their journey,3596 and2532 got close1448 to the city,4172 Peter4074 went up305 on1909 the housetop1430 to pray4336 at about40125610 noon.162310 He1161 became1096 hungry4361 and1161 desired2309 to eat,1089 but1161 while they1565 were preparing,3903 he846 fell1968 into1909 a trance.161111 He2532 saw2334 heaven3772 opened455 and2532 a certain5100 container4632 descending2597 to1909 him,846 like5613 a great3173 sheet36072532 let down2524 by1210 four5064 corners746 on1909 the earth,109312 in which3739 were5225 all kinds of3956 four-footed animals5074 of3956 the earth,1093 wild animals,2342 reptiles,2062 and2532 birds4071 of the sky.3772132532 A voice5456 came1096 to4314 him,846"Rise,450Peter,4074kill2380and2532eat!"5315
Acts 10:14 But1161 Peter4074 said,2036 "Not so,3365 Lord;2962 for3754 I have5315 never3763 eaten5315 anything3956 that is common2839 or2228 unclean."169
Acts 10:152532 A voice5456 came to4314 him846 again38251537 the second time,1208"What3739God2316hascleansed,2511you4771mustnot3361call2840unclean."284016 This5124 was done10961909 three5151 times, and2532 immediately the vessel4632 was received up3533825 into1519 heaven.377217 Now1161 while5613 Peter4074 was very perplexed1280 in1722 himself1438 what5101302 the vision3705 which3739 he had seen1492 might mean,1498 behold,2400 the men435 who3588 were sent649 by575 Cornelius,2883 having made inquiry1331 for Simon's4613 house,36142532 stood2186 before1909 the gate,444018 and2532 called5455 and asked4441 whether1487 Simon,4613 who3588 was surnamed1941 Peter,4074 was lodging3579 there.175919 While1161 Peter4074 was pondering1760 the4012 vision,3705 the Spirit4151 said to2036 him,846 "Behold,2400 three5140{Reading from TR and NU. MT omits “three”} men435 seek2212 you.457120 But235 arise,450 get down,2597 and2532 go4198 with4862 them,846 doubting1252 nothing;3367 for1360 I1473 have sent649 them."846
Acts 10:211161 Peter4074 went down2597 to4314 the men,435 and said,2036 "Behold,2400 I1473 am1510 he whom3739 you seek.22125101 Why1223 have156 you3739 come?"3918
Acts 10:22 They1161 said,2036 "Cornelius,2883 a centurion,1543 a righteous1342 man435 and2532 one435 who fears5399 God,2316 and5037 well spoken3140 of by5259 all3650 the nation1484 of the Jews,2453 was directed by5259 a holy40 angel32 to invite3343 you4571 to1519 his846 house,3624 and2532 to listen191 to what3844 you4675 say."448723 So he1528 called them846 in1528 and1161 lodged3579 them.846 On the next day1887 Peter4074 arose and2532 went out with4862 them,846 and2532 some5100 of the brothers80 from575 Joppa2445 accompanied4905 him.846242532 On the next day1887 they entered1525 into1519 Caesarea.25421161 Cornelius2883 was waiting for4328 them,846 having2258 called together4779 his846 relatives4773 and2532 his near316 friends.538425 When1161 it happened5613 that Peter40741096 entered,1525 Cornelius2883 met4876 him,846 fell down4098 at1909 his feet,4228 and worshiped4352 him.
26 But1161 Peter4074 raised1453 him846 up,1453 saying,3004 "Stand up!450 I2504 myself846 am1510 also2504 a man."44427 As2532 he talked with4926 him,846 he went in1525 and2532 found2147 many4183 gathered together.4905285037 He said5346 to4314 them,846 "You5210 yourselves know1987 how5613 it is an unlawful thing111 for a man435 who is2076 a Jew2453 to4334 join himself or2228 come to4334 one of another nation,246 but2532 God2316 has shown1166 me1698 that1166 I shouldn't30043367 call3004 any man444 unholy2839 or2228 unclean.16929 Therefore1352 also2532 I2064 came without complaint369 when I was sent for.3343 I ask4441 therefore,3767 why5101 did3056 you send for3343 me?"3165
Acts 10:302532 Cornelius2883 said,5346 "Four5067 days2250 ago,575 I was2252 fasting3522 until3360 this3778 hour,5610 and2532 at the ninth1766 hour,5610{3:00 P.

Acts 10:341161 Peter4074 opened455 his mouth4750 and said,20361909 "Truly225 I perceive2638 that3754 God2316 doesn't20763756 show favoritism;438135 but235 in1722 every3956 nation1484 he3588 who fears5399 him846 and2532 works2038 righteousness1343 is2076 acceptable1184 to him.84636 The word3056 which3739 he sent649 to the children5207 of Israel,2474 preaching2097 good news of peace1515 by1223 Jesus2424 Christ —5547 he3778 is2076 Lord2962 of all —395637 you5210 yourselves know1492 what happened,4487 which was proclaimed1096 throughout2596 all3650 Judea,2449 beginning756 from575 Galilee,1056 after3326 the baptism908 which3739 John2491 preached;278438 even Jesus2424 of575 Nazareth,3478 how5613 God2316 anointed5548 him846 with the Holy40 Spirit4151 and2532 with power,1411 who3739 went about1330 doing good2109 and2532 healing2390 all3956 who3588 were oppressed2616 by5259 the devil,1228 for3754 God2316 was2258 with3326 him.846392532 We2249 are2070 witnesses3144 of everything3956 he3739 did4160 both5037 in1722 the country5561 of the Jews,2453 and2532 in1722 Jerusalem;2419 whom3739 they also{TR omits “also”} killed,337 hanging2910 him on1909 a tree.358640 God2316 raised him5126 up1453 the third5154 day,2250 and2532 gave1325 him846 to be1096 revealed,171741 not3756 to all3956 the people,2992 but235 to witnesses3144 who were chosen before4401 by5259 God,2316 to us,2254 who3748 ate4906 and2532 drank with4844 him846 after3326 he846 rose450 from1537 the dead.349842 He2532 commanded3853 us2254 to preach2784 to the people2992 and2532 to testify1263 that3754 this is2076 he who3588 is2076 appointed3724 by5259 God2316 as the Judge2923 of5259 the living and2532 the dead.349843 All3956 the prophets4396 testify3140 about3140 him,5129 that through1223 his846 name3686 everyone3956 who believes4100 in1519 him846 will receive2983 remission859 of sins."266
Acts 10:44 While Peter4074 was still2089 speaking2980 these5023 words,4487 the Holy40 Spirit4151 fell1968 on1909 all3956 those3588 who heard191 the word.3056452532 They3588 of1537 the circumcision4061 who believed4103 were amazed,1839 as3745 many as3745 came4905 with Peter,4074 because3754 the gift1431 of the Holy40 Spirit4151 was also2532 poured out1632 on the Gentiles.148446 For1063 they heard191 them846 speaking2980 in other languages1100 and2532 magnifying3170 God.2316 Then5119 Peter4074 answered,61147 "Can1410 any man5100 forbid29673385 the water,5204 that2967 these5128 who3748 have received2983 the Holy40 Spirit4151 as well2531 as2532 we2249 should907 not3361 be baptized?"907485037 He commanded4367 them846 to be baptized907 in1722 the name3686 of Jesus Christ.2962 Then5119 they2065 asked him846 to stay1961 some5100 days.2250
