22They said, “A centurion named Cornelius, a righteous man and one who worships God, and is well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was told by a holy angel of God to send for you to come to his house, so he could listen to a message from you.”
23So Peter invited them to come in and stay with him. On the next morning he got up and went with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
24On the following day they came to Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them; he had called together his relatives and his close friends.
25It came about that when Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet to worship him.
26But Peter helped him up, saying, “Stand up! I too am a man.”
27While Peter was talking with him, he went in and found many people gathered together.
28He said to them, “You yourselves know that it is not lawful for a Jewish man to associate with or to visit someone from another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man defiled or unclean.
29That is why I came without arguing, when I was sent for. So I ask you why you sent for me.”
30Cornelius said, “Four days ago at this very hour, I was praying at the ninth hour in my house; and see, a man stood before me in bright clothing.
31He said, 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard by God, and your gifts to the poor have reminded God about you.
32So send someone to Joppa, and call to you a man named Simon who is called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside.'
33So at once I sent for you. You are kind to have come. Now then, we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear everything that you have been instructed by the Lord to say.”
34Then Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly, I perceive that God does not take anyone's side.
35Instead, in every nation anyone who worships and does righteous deeds is acceptable to him.
36You know the message that he sent to the people of Israel, when he announced good news about peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all—
37you yourselves know the events that took place, which occurred throughout all Judea, beginning in Galilee, after the baptism that John announced;
38the events concerning Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
39We are witnesses of all the things Jesus did, both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a tree,
40but God raised him up on the third day and caused him to be seen,
41not by all the people, but to the witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
