Acts 10:25-33

²⁵Now when it happened that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell at his feet and worshiped him.

²⁶But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up; I too am just a man.”

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

²⁸and he said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to associate with or to approach a Gentile; and yet God has shown to me that I should call no man common or unclean;

²⁹therefore also without objecting, I came when I was sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me?”

³⁰So Cornelius said, “From the fourth day until this hour I was fasting, and at the ninth hour I was praying in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in shining clothing,

³¹and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your alms are remembered before God.

³²Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, whose surname is Peter. He is staying as a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, beside the sea. When he arrives, he will speak to you.’

³³Therefore immediately I sent to you, and you have done well to come. Now then we are all present before God, to hear all the things having been commanded you by God.”
