Acts 10:20-32

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.
