²⁵And it came to pass, that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him, Cornelius came to meet him, and falling at his feet adored.

²⁶But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.

²⁷And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

²⁸And he said to them: You know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew, to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean.

²⁹For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me?

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