17Nowe 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,
18And called, and asked, whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit sayde vnto him, Beholde, three men seeke thee.
20Arise therefore, and get thee downe, and goe with them, and doute nothing: For I haue sent them.
21Then 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?
22And they sayd, Cornelius the captaine, a iust man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Iewes, was warned from heauen by an holy Angel, to send for thee into his house, and to heare thy wordes.
23Then called he them in, and lodged them, and the next day, Peter went foorth with them, and certaine brethren from Ioppa accompanied him.
24And the day after, they entred into Cesarea. Nowe Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsemen, and special friends.
25And it came to passe as Peter came in, that Cornelius met him, and fell downe at his feete, and worshipped him.
26But Peter tooke him vp, saying, Stand vp: for euen I my selfe am a man.
27And as he talked with him, he came in, and found many that were come together.
28And he sayd vnto them, Ye know that it is an vnlawfull thing for a man that is a Iewe, to company, or come vnto one of another nation: but God hath shewed me, that I should not call any man polluted, or vncleane.
29Therefore came I vnto you without saying nay, when I was sent for. I aske therefore, for what intent haue ye sent for me?
30Then Cornelius sayd, Foure dayes agoe, about this houre, I fasted, and at the ninth houre I prayed in mine house, and beholde, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31And sayd, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine almes are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
