Acts 10:24-32

²⁴And on the morrow they came to Caesarea. But Cornelius was looking for them, having called together his kinsmen and his intimate friends.

²⁵And when Peter was now coming in, Cornelius met him, and falling down did him homage.

²⁶But Peter made him rise, saying, Rise up: I myself also am a man.

²⁷And he went in, talking with him, and found many gathered together.

²⁸And he said to them, Ye know how it is unlawful for a Jew to be joined or come to one of a strange race, and to me God has shewn to call no man common or unclean.

²⁹Wherefore also, having been sent for, I came without saying anything against it. I inquire therefore for what reason ye have sent for me.

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

³¹and said, Cornelius, thy prayer has been heard, and thy alms have come in remembrance before God.

³²Send therefore to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea who when he is come will speak to thee.
