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.”
34And Peter, opening his mouth, said: “In truth I comprehend that God is not One to show partiality.
35But in every nation, he that fears Him and works righteousness is acceptable to Him.
36The word which God sent to the sons of Israel, preaching the good news of peace through Jesus Christ—He being Lord of all—
37you know, the word coming to be throughout all of Judea, and beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John proclaimed,
38Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all those who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.
39And we are witnesses of all things which He did, both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they also killed by hanging on a tree.
40This Jesus God raised up on the third day, and caused Him to be seen,
41not to all the people, but to witnesses, who having been chosen beforehand by God, even to us, who ate and drank together with Him after He arose from the dead.
42And He commanded us to proclaim to the people, and to testify solemnly that He is the One having been appointed by God to be Judge of the living and the dead.
43To Him all the prophets bear witness, that through His name, everyone believing in Him shall receive forgiveness of sins.”
44While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word.
45And those of the circumcision who believed were astounded, as many as had come with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.
46For they heard them speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
47“Surely no one can forbid water, can he, that these should not be baptized who received the Holy Spirit just as we have?”
48And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay for some days.
