Acts 10:20-29

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

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

²²And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and to hear words from thee.

²³Then he called them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow he arose and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

²⁴And the morrow after, he came into Caesarea. And Cornelius was expecting them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.

²⁵And as Peter came in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and did him reverence.

²⁶But Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

²⁷And while talking with him, he went in, and found many who had come together.

²⁸And he said to them, Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a Jew to keep company with one of another nation, or to come near him; but God showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

²⁹Wherefore I came without objection, when sent for. I ask therefore, for what reason did ye send for me?
