Acts 10:23-32

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?

³⁰And Cornelius said, Four days ago, I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour was praying in my house; and lo! a man stood before me in bright clothing,

³¹and said, Cornelius, thy prayer hath been heard, and thine alms have been remembered before God.

³²Send therefore to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea-side; and he, when he cometh, will speak to thee.
