17Now, 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.
18And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.
20Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you are come?
22Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
23Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following he arose, and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied him.
24And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.

30And Cornelius said: Four days ago, unto this hour, I was praying in my house, at the ninth hour, and behold a man stood before me in white apparel, and said:
31Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
32Send therefore to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.
33Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore all we are present in thy sight, to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord.
34And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive, that God is not a respecter of persons.
35But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him.
36God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.)
