16And this was done three times: and then the vessel was taken back into heaven.
17Now while Peter was in doubt as to the purpose of this vision, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made search for Simon's house, came to the door,
18To see if Simon, named Peter, was living there.
19And, while Peter was turning the vision over in his mind, the Spirit said to him, See, three men are looking for you.
20Go down, then, and go with them, doubting nothing, for I have sent them.
21And Peter went down to the men, and said, I am the man you are looking for: why have you come?
22And they said, Cornelius, a captain, an upright and God-fearing man, respected by all the nation of the Jews, had word from God by an angel to send for you to his house, and to give hearing to your words.
23So he took them in for the night. And the day after, he went with them, taking some of the brothers from Joppa with him.
24And the day after that, they came to Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having got together his relations and his near friends.
25And when Peter came in, Cornelius came to him and, falling down at his feet, gave him worship.
26But Peter, lifting him up, said, Get up, for I am a man as you are.
27And saying these words, he went in, and saw that a great number of people had come together;
28And he said to them, You yourselves have knowledge that it is against the law for a man who is a Jew to be in the company of one who is of another nation; but God has made it clear to me that no man may be named common or unclean:
29And so I came without question, when I was sent for. What then is your purpose in sending for me?
30And Cornelius said, Four days from now I was in my house in prayer at the ninth hour; and I saw before me a man in shining clothing,
31Who said, Cornelius, your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your offerings are kept in his memory.
32Send, then, to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you; he is living in the house of Simon, a leather-worker, by the sea.
33So, straight away, I sent for you; and you have done well to come. And now, we are all present before God, ready to give attention to all the things which the Lord has given you to say.
34Then Peter said, Truly, I see clearly that God is no respecter of persons:
35But in every nation, the man who has fear of him and does righteousness is pleasing to him.
36The word which he sent to the children of Israel, giving the good news of peace through Jesus Christ (who is Lord of all) —
37That word you yourselves have knowledge of, which was made public through all Judaea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism of which John was the preacher,
38About Jesus of Nazareth, how God gave the Holy Spirit to him, with power: and how he went about doing good and making well all who were troubled by evil spirits, for God was with him.
39And we are witnesses of all the things which he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they put to death, hanging him on a tree.
40On the third day God gave him back to life, and let him be seen,
