Acts 10:17-21 in English

¹⁷ Now while Peter was much perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,

¹⁸ and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, were lodging there.

¹⁹ And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.

²⁰ But arise, and get thee down, and go with them, nothing doubting: for I have sent them.

²¹ And Peter went down to the men, and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?

¹⁷ Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate,

¹⁸ And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

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.

²⁰ But arise, and get thee down, and go with them, nothing doubting: for I have sent them.

²¹ And Peter went down to the men, and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?

¹⁷ While Peter was trying to understand what that vision meant, the men who had been sent by Cornelius {whom Cornelius had sent} arrived in Joppa. They asked people how to get to Simon's house. So they found his house and were standing outside the gate.

¹⁸ They called and were asking if a man named Simon, whose other name was Peter, was staying there.

¹⁹ While Peter was still trying to understand what the vision meant, God's Spirit said to him, “Three men are here who want to see you.

²⁰ So get up and go downstairs and go with them! Do not think that you (sg) should not go with them because of their being non-Jews, because I have sent them here!”

²¹ So Peter went down to the men and said to them, “ Greetings! I am the man you are looking for. Why have you come?”

¹⁷ Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,

¹⁸ and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.

¹⁹ While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.

²⁰ But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”

²¹ Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”

²¹ Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”

¹⁷ Now 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,

¹⁸ To see if Simon, named Peter, was living there.

¹⁹ And, while Peter was turning the vision over in his mind, the Spirit said to him, See, three men are looking for you.

²⁰ Go down, then, and go with them, doubting nothing, for I have sent them.

²¹ And Peter went down to the men, and said, I am the man you are looking for: why have you come?

¹⁷ And as Peter doubted in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold also the men who were sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate,

¹⁸ and having called some one, they inquired if Simon who was surnamed Peter was lodged there.

¹⁹ But as Peter continued pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee;

²⁰ but rise up, go down, and go with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them.

²¹ And Peter going down to the men said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye come?

¹⁷ Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself, what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon’s house, stood at the gate.

¹⁸ And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

¹⁹ And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.

²⁰ Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.

²¹ Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you are come?

¹⁷ Now as Peter was very perplexed within himself as to what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius, having found by inquiry the house of Simon, stood at the gateway.

¹⁸ And they called and asked whether Simon, whose surname was Peter, was lodging there.

¹⁹ Now while Peter pondered about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, men are seeking you.

²⁰ Arise therefore, go down and go with them, without wavering; for I have sent them.”

²¹ And Peter, going down to the men, said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”

¹⁷ Now as Peter was really perplexed within himself as to what the vision that he had seen might mean, well the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having inquired and found Simon's house, stood before the gate,

¹⁸ and calling out they inquired whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was staying there as a guest.

¹⁹ So as Peter was pondering the vision the Spirit said to him: “Listen, some men are looking for you;

²⁰ so get up and go downstairs; and go with them, doubting nothing, for I have sent them.”

²¹ So going down to the men Peter said: “Yes, I am the one you are looking for. For what reason have you come?”

¹⁷ While Peter was puzzling over what the vision he'd seen really meant, the men sent by Cornelius had found out where Simon's house was and were standing at the gate.

¹⁸ They called out, asking whether Simon, also called Peter, was staying there.

¹⁹ While Peter was still wondering about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Look, there are three men looking for you.

²⁰ Get up, go downstairs, and go with them. Don't worry at all because I'm the one who sent them.”

²¹ So Peter went downstairs to meet the men. “I'm the one you're looking for,” he said. “Why are you here?”

¹⁷ Nowe while Peter douted in himselfe what this vision which he had seene, meant, beholde, the men which were sent from Cornelius, had inquired for Simons house, and stoode at the gate,

¹⁸ And called, and asked, whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

¹⁹ And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit sayde vnto him, Beholde, three men seeke thee.

²⁰ Arise therefore, and get thee downe, and goe with them, and doute nothing: For I haue sent them.

²¹ Then Peter went downe to the men, which were sent vnto him from Cornelius, and sayd, Beholde, I am he whome ye seeke: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?

¹⁷ Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate,

¹⁸ and called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

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?

¹⁷ Now, while Peter was doubting within himself what the vision which he had seen meant, lo! the men who were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate;

¹⁸ and they called, and asked whether Simon, surnamed Peter, lodged there.

¹⁹ And while Peter was meditating on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men are seeking thee;

²⁰ but arise, and go down, and go with them, without scruple; for I have sent them.

²¹ And Peter went down to the men and said, Behold, I am he whom ye are seeking; for what cause have ye come?

¹⁷ While Peter was still perplexed as to the meaning of the vision that he had seen, the men sent by Cornelius, having enquired the way to Simon's house, came up to the gate,

¹⁸ and called out and asked if the Simon, who was also known as Peter, was lodging there.

¹⁹ Peter was still pondering over the vision, when the Spirit said to him, “There are two men looking for you at this moment.

²⁰ Go down at once and do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.”

²¹ Peter went down to the men and said, “I am the person you are looking for. What is your reason for coming?”

¹⁷ While Peter was still perplexed as to the meaning of the vision that he had seen, the men sent by Cornelius, having enquired the way to Simon's house, came up to the gate,

¹⁸ and called out and asked if the Simon, who was also known as Peter, was lodging there.

¹⁹ Peter was still pondering over the vision, when the Spirit said to him, “There are two men looking for you at this moment.

²⁰ Go down at once and do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.”

²¹ Peter went down to the men and said, “I am the person you are looking for. What is your reason for coming?”

¹⁷ Peter sat there and thought, “What does this mean? What is God telling me?” While Peter was still trying to understand it, those 3 men from Cornelius walked into that town, Joppa. They asked people, “Where does Simon live, the leather worker man?” Then they stood outside at the gate of that house

¹⁸ and asked, “Is Simon Peter here?”

¹⁹ At that same time, Peter was thinking about what he just saw, and the Holy Spirit said to him, “Listen, 3 men are down at the gate. They are looking for you.

²⁰ So get up and go down to them. You see, I sent them to you, so just go with them. Don’t worry.”

²¹ Peter went down and said to the men, “Hey, I’m the man you are looking for. Why did you come here?”

¹⁷ Whyle Peter mused in him selfe what this vision which he had sene meant beholde the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquirance for Simons housse and stode before the dore.

¹⁸ And called out won and axed whether Simon which was also called Peter were lodged there.

¹⁹ Whyll Peter thought on this vision the sprete sayde vnto him: Beholde men seke the:

²⁰ aryse therfore get the doune and goo with them and doute not. For I have sent them.

²¹ Peter went doune to the men which were sent vnto him from Cornelius and sayde Beholde I am he whom ye seke what is the cause wherfore ye are come?

¹⁷ Now while Peter was very confused about what the vision that he had seen could mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius stood before the gate, after they had asked their way to the house.

¹⁸ They called out and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was staying there.

¹⁹ While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.
