Acts 10:25-29

²⁵So, when Peter entered the city, Cornelius met him, and, throwing himself at Peter's feet, bowed to the ground.

²⁶Peter, however, lifted him up, saying as he did so, “Stand up, I am only human like yourself.”

²⁷Talking with him as he went, Peter entered the house, where he found a large gathering of people, to whom he said,

²⁸“You are doubtless aware that it is forbidden for a Jew to be intimate with a foreigner, or even to enter his house; and yet God has shown me that I ought not to call anyone defiled or unclean.

²⁹That was why I came, when I was sent for, without raising any objection. And now I ask your reason for sending for me.”
