Acts 10:24-31

²⁴And on the morrow they entered into Cæsarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kinsmen and his near friends.

²⁵And when it came to pass that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.

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

²⁷And as he talked with him, he went in, and findeth many come together:

²⁸and he said unto them, Ye yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to join himself or come unto one of another nation; and yet unto me hath God showed that I should not call any man common or unclean:

²⁹wherefore also I came without gainsaying, when I was sent for. I ask therefore with what intent ye sent for me.

³⁰And Cornelius said, Four days ago, until this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel,

³¹and saith, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
