24and the following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and close friends.
25So when Peter actually arrived, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet and worshiped.
26But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
27And conversing with him he went in and found many gathered there.
28Then he said to them: “You know how it is unlawful for a Jewish man to associate with or to approach a different race; but God has shown me that I should not call any man ‘common’ or unclean.
29Therefore also I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. So I ask, for what reason did you send for me?”
30So Cornelius said: “I have been fasting during four days until this very hour; yes, it was the ninth hour, I was praying in my house when wow, a man stood before me in shining clothing
31and said: ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms are remembered before God.
