Acts 10:26-29 in English

²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

²⁷ And as he talked with him, he went in, and findeth many come together:

²⁸ and he said unto them, Ye yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to join himself or come unto one of another nation; and yet unto me hath God showed that I should not call any man common or unclean:

²⁹ wherefore also I came without gainsaying, when I was sent for. I ask therefore with what intent ye sent for me.

²⁶ But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

²⁷ And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

²⁸ And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

²⁹ Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?

²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

²⁷ And as he talked with him, he went in, and findeth many come together:

²⁸ and he said unto them, Ye yourselves know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to join himself or come unto one of another nation; and yet unto me hath God shewed that I should not call any man common or unclean:

²⁹ wherefore also I came without gainsaying, when I was sent for. I ask therefore with what intent ye sent for me.

²⁶ But Peter grasped Cornelius by the hand and lifted him to his feet. He said, “Stand up! Do not revere/worship me I myself am only human, like you!”

²⁷ While he was talking to Cornelius, Peter and the others entered a large room inside the house. Peter saw that many people had gathered together there.

²⁸ Then Peter said to them, “You all know that any of us Jews think we are disobeying our Jewish laws if we (exc) associate with a non-Jewish person or if we even visit him. However, God has shown me in a vision that I should not say about anyone that God will not accept him.

²⁹ So when you sent some men to ask me to come here, I came right away. I did not say that I could not go with non-Jewish people. So, please tell me, why have you asked me to come here?”

²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”

²⁷ As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.

²⁸ He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.

²⁹ Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”

²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”

²⁷ As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.

²⁸ He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.

²⁹ Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”

²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”

²⁷ As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.

²⁸ He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.

²⁹ Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”

²⁶ But Peter, lifting him up, said, Get up, for I am a man as you are.

²⁷ And saying these words, he went in, and saw that a great number of people had come together;

²⁸ And he said to them, You yourselves have knowledge that it is against the law for a man who is a Jew to be in the company of one who is of another nation; but God has made it clear to me that no man may be named common or unclean:

²⁹ And so I came without question, when I was sent for. What then is your purpose in sending for me?

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

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

²⁸ And 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.

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

²⁶ But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.

²⁷ And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

²⁸ And he said to them: You know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew, to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean.

²⁹ For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me?

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

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

²⁸ and 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;

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

²⁶ But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”

²⁷ And conversing with him he went in and found many gathered there.

²⁸ Then 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.

²⁹ Therefore also I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. So I ask, for what reason did you send for me?”

²⁶ But Peter pulled him back up, telling him, “Stand up! I'm only a man!”

²⁷ Peter spoke with Cornelius, and then went on in where he found many other people waiting for him.

²⁸ He said to them, “You certainly know that it's not permitted for a Jew to be associated with or to visit foreigners. But God has shown me that it's not for me to call anyone impure or unclean.

²⁹ That's why I came without any argument when I was sent for. So now I want to know the reason why you sent for me.”

²⁶ But Peter tooke him vp, saying, Stand vp: for euen I my selfe am a man.

²⁷ And as he talked with him, he came in, and found many that were come together.

²⁸ And he sayd vnto them, Ye know that it is an vnlawfull thing for a man that is a Iewe, to company, or come vnto one of another nation: but God hath shewed me, that I should not call any man polluted, or vncleane.

²⁹ Therefore came I vnto you without saying nay, when I was sent for. I aske therefore, for what intent haue ye sent for me?

²⁶ But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

²⁷ And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

²⁸ And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

²⁹ Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?

²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

²⁷ And while talking with him, he went in, and found many who had come together.

²⁸ And he said to them, Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a Jew to keep company with one of another nation, or to come near him; but God showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

²⁹ Wherefore I came without objection, when sent for. I ask therefore, for what reason did ye send for me?

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

²⁷ Talking 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.

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

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

²⁷ Talking 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.

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

²⁶ But Peter lifted him up and said, “Stand up. I’m only a man, like you.”

²⁷ Peter kept talking with Cornelius, then they went into the house, and Peter saw a lot of people there.

²⁸ He said to them, “You know that the Jewish law teachers reckon that people that aren’t Jews are no good, so a Jew shouldn’t go into their house. But God showed me that I shouldn’t say that anyone is no good. He showed me that it is all right for me to visit you.

²⁹ Then these men came and asked me to come here, so I didn’t talk back. I came here with them. Now, please tell me, why did you ask me to come here?”

²⁶ But Peter toke him vp sayinge: stonde vp: for evyn I my silfe am a man.

²⁷ And as he talked with him he cam in and founde many that were come to gether.

²⁸ And he sayde vnto them: Ye do knowe how that that ys an vnlawfull thynge for a man that is a Iewe to company or come vnto an alient: But god hath shewed me that I shuld not call eny man commen or vnclene:

²⁹ therfore came I vnto you with oute sayege naye assone as I was sent for. I axe therfore for what intent have ye sent for me?

²⁶ But Peter helped him up, saying, “Stand up! I too am a man.”

²⁷ While Peter was talking with him, he went in and found many people gathered together.

²⁸ He said to them, “You yourselves know that it is not lawful for a Jewish man to associate with or to visit someone from another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man defiled or unclean.

²⁹ That is why I came without arguing, when I was sent for. So I ask you why you sent for me.”

²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”

²⁷ As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.

²⁸ He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.

²⁹ Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”

²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”

²⁷ As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.

²⁸ He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.

²⁹ Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”

²⁶ But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up: I myself also am a man.

²⁷ And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that had come together.

²⁸ And he said to them, Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come to one of another nation; but God hath shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

²⁹ Therefore I came to you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?

²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”

²⁷ As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.

²⁸ He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.

²⁹ Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”

²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”

²⁷ As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.

²⁸ He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.

²⁹ Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”

²⁶ But Peter raised him, and said, Arise thou, also I myself am a man, as thou.

²⁷ And he spake with him, and went in, and found many that were come together.

²⁸ And he said to them, Ye know, how abominable it is to a Jew, to be joined either to come to an alien; but God showed to me, that no man say a man common, either unclean.

²⁹ For which thing I came, when I was called, without doubting. There-fore I ask you, for what cause have ye called me?

²⁶ But Peter raised him (up), and said, Arise thou, also I myself am a man, as thou.

²⁷ And he spake with him, and went in, and found many that were come together.

²⁸ And he said to them, Ye know, how abominable it is to a Jew, to be joined either to come to an alien (or to a foreigner); but God showed to me, that no man say a man common, either unclean (or unclean).

²⁹ For which thing I came, when I was called, without doubting. Therefore I ask you, for what cause have ye called me?

²⁶ and Peter raised him, saying, 'Stand up; I also myself am a man;'

²⁷ and talking with him he went in, and doth find many having come together.

²⁸ And he said unto them, 'Ye know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come unto, one of another race, but to me God did shew to call no man common or unclean;

²⁹ therefore also without gainsaying I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter ye did send for me?'
