Acts 10:26-36 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.

³⁰ And Cornelius said, Four days ago, until this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel,

³¹ and saith, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

³² Send therefore to Joppa, and call unto thee Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.

³³ Forthwith therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all things that have been commanded thee of the Lord.

³⁴ And Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

³⁵ but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.

³⁶ The word which he sent unto the children of Israel, preaching good tidings of peace by Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all)—

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?

³⁰ And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

³¹ And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

³² Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.

³³ Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.

³⁴ Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

³⁵ But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

³⁶ The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

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.

³⁰ And Cornelius said, Four days ago, until this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel,

³¹ and saith, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

³² Send therefore to Joppa, and call unto thee Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.

³³ Forthwith therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all things that have been commanded thee of the Lord.

³⁴ And Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

³⁵ but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.

³⁶ The word which he sent unto the children of Israel, preaching good tidings of peace by Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all)—

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?”

³⁰ Cornelius replied, “About this time four days ago I was praying to God in my house, as I regularly do at three o'clock in the afternoon. Suddenly a man whose clothes shone brightly stood in front of me,

³¹ and said, ‘Cornelius, when you (sg) have prayed, you have been heard by God {God has heard when you (sg) have prayed to him}. He has also noticed that you have often given money to help poor people, and he is pleased with that.

³² So now, send messengers to go to Joppa, in order to ask Simon whose other name is Peter to come here. He is staying near the ocean in a house that belongs to another man named Simon, who makes leather. When Simon Peter comes, he will tell you a message from God.’

³³ So I immediately sent some men who asked you (sg) to come here, and I certainly thank you for coming. Now we (exc) all are gathered here, knowing that God is with us, in order to hear all the things that the Lord God has commanded you to say. So please speak to us.”

³⁴ So Peter began to speak MTY to them. He said, “ Now I understand that it is true that God does not favor only certain groups of people.

³⁵ Instead, from every group of people he accepts everyone who honors him and who does what pleases him.

³⁶ You know the message that God sent to us Israelis. He proclaimed to us the good news that he would cause people to have peace with him because of what Jesus Christ has done. This Jesus is Lord not only over us Israelis. He is also the Lord who rules over all people.

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?”

³⁰ Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing

³¹ and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.

³² Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’

³³ Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”

³⁴ Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;

³⁵ but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

³⁶ The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—

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?”

³⁰ Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing

³¹ and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.

³² Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’

³³ Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”

³⁴ Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;

³⁵ but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

³⁶ The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—

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?”

³⁰ Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing

³¹ and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.

³² Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’

³³ Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”

³⁴ Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favouritism;

³⁵ but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

³⁶ The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—

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?

³⁰ And Cornelius said, Four days from now I was in my house in prayer at the ninth hour; and I saw before me a man in shining clothing,

³¹ Who said, Cornelius, your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your offerings are kept in his memory.

³² Send, then, to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you; he is living in the house of Simon, a leather-worker, by the sea.

³³ So, straight away, I sent for you; and you have done well to come. And now, we are all present before God, ready to give attention to all the things which the Lord has given you to say.

³⁴ Then Peter said, Truly, I see clearly that God is no respecter of persons:

³⁵ But in every nation, the man who has fear of him and does righteousness is pleasing to him.

³⁶ The word which he sent to the children of Israel, giving the good news of peace through Jesus Christ (who is Lord of all) —

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.

³⁰ And 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,

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

³² Send 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.

³³ Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and thou hast well done in coming. Now therefore we are all present before God to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.

³⁴ And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,

³⁵ but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

³⁶ The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all things,)

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?

³⁰ And Cornelius said: Four days ago, unto this hour, I was praying in my house, at the ninth hour, and behold a man stood before me in white apparel, and said:

³¹ Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

³² Send therefore to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.

³³ Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore all we are present in thy sight, to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord.

³⁴ And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive, that God is not a respecter of persons.

³⁵ But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him.

³⁶ God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.)

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?”

³⁰ So 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,

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

³² Send 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.’

³³ Therefore 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.”

³⁴ And Peter, opening his mouth, said: “In truth I comprehend that God is not One to show partiality.

³⁵ But in every nation, he that fears Him and works righteousness is acceptable to Him.

³⁶ The word which God sent to the sons of Israel, preaching the good news of peace through Jesus Christ—He being Lord of all—

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?”

³⁰ So Cornelius said: “I have been fasting during four days until this very hour; yes, it was the ninth hour, I was praying in my house when wow, a man stood before me in shining clothing

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

³² Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea; upon arriving he will speak to you.’

³³ So I sent to you at once, and you did well to come. Now then, we are all present before God to hear all the things commanded you by God.”

³⁴ So opening his mouth Peter said: “Really, I comprehend that God is not One to show partiality,

³⁵ but in every ethnic nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is acceptable to Him.

³⁶ The word that He sent to the sons of Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—

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.”

³⁰ “Four days ago, at about this time—three in the afternoon—I was praying in my house,” Cornelius explained. “Suddenly I saw a man standing in front of me, dressed in clothes that shone brightly.

³¹ He told me, ‘Cornelius, your prayers have been heard, and God has recognized your generosity to the poor.

³² Send someone to Joppa for Simon Peter. He's staying at Simon the tanner's house, down by the sea-shore.’

³³ So immediately I sent for you, and it was good of you to come. That's why we're all here, meeting together before God, ready to hear everything the Lord has told you.”

³⁴ Peter replied, “I'm totally convinced that God has no favorites.

³⁵ In every nation God accepts those who respect him, and do what is good and right.

³⁶ You know the message he sent to Israel, sharing the good news of peace that comes from Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.

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?

³⁰ Then Cornelius sayd, Foure dayes agoe, about this houre, I fasted, and at the ninth houre I prayed in mine house, and beholde, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

³¹ And sayd, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine almes are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

³² Send therefore to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter (he is lodged in the house of Simon a Tanner by the sea side) who when he commeth, shall speake vnto thee.

³³ Then sent I for thee immediately, and thou hast well done to come. Nowe therefore are we all here present before God, to heare all things that are commanded thee of God.

³⁴ Then Peter opened his mouth, and sayd, Of a trueth I perceiue, that God is no accepter of persons.

³⁵ But in euery nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousnesse, is accepted with him.

³⁶ Ye know the worde which God hath sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Iesus Christ, which is Lord of all:

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?

³⁰ And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

³¹ and said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

³² Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.

³³ Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.

³⁴ Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

³⁵ but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

³⁶ The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

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?

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

³¹ and said, Cornelius, thy prayer hath been heard, and thine alms have been remembered before God.

³² Send therefore to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea-side; and he, when he cometh, will speak to thee.

³³ I therefore sent to thee immediately; and thou hast done well in coming here. Now therefore we are all present before God, to hear all things that have been commanded thee from the Lord.

³⁴ And Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons,

³⁵ but in every nation he that feareth him and worketh righteousness is acceptable to him—

³⁶ the word which he sent to the sons of Israel, publishing glad tidings of peace through Jesus Christ; he is Lord of all men.

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.”

³⁰ “Just three days ago this very hour,” Cornelius said, “I was in my house, saying the Afternoon Prayers, when a man in dazzling clothing suddenly stood before me.

³¹ ‘Cornelius,’ he said, ‘your prayer has been heard, and your charities have been accepted, by God.

³² Therefore send to Jaffa, and invite the Simon, who is also known as Peter, to come here. He is lodging in the house of Simon the tanner, near the sea.’

³³ Accordingly I sent to you at once, and you have been so good as to come. And now we are all here in the presence of God, to listen to all that you have been instructed by the Lord to say.”

³⁴ Then Peter began. “I see, beyond all doubt,” he said, “that God does not show partiality,

³⁵ but that in every nation he who reverences him and does what is right is acceptable to him.

³⁶ God has sent his message to the Israelites and told them, through Jesus Christ, the good news of peace — and Jesus is Lord of all!

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.”

³⁰ “Just three days ago this very hour,” Cornelius said, “I was in my house, saying the Afternoon Prayers, when a man in dazzling clothing suddenly stood before me.

³¹ ‘Cornelius,’ he said, ‘your prayer has been heard, and your charities have been accepted, by God.

³³ Accordingly I sent to you at once, and you have been so good as to come. And now we are all here in the presence of God, to listen to all that you have been instructed by the Lord to say.”

³⁴ Then Peter began. “I see, beyond all doubt,” he said, “that God does not show partiality,

³⁵ but that in every nation he who reverences him and does what is right is acceptable to him.

³⁶ God has sent his message to the Israelites and told them, through Jesus Christ, the good news of peace — and Jesus is Lord of all!

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?”

³⁰ Cornelius said, “4 days ago I was praying in my house at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Suddenly I saw a man wearing bright shining clothes standing in front of me.

³¹ And he said to me, ‘Cornelius, God heard you pray and he knows that you give money and things to the poor people.

³² So send some men to Joppa and tell them to get Simon Peter and bring him back here. He is staying in a leather worker’s house, whose name is Simon. His house is near the sea.

³³ So right away I sent those men to bring you here. Thank you for coming. God can see us all here. We are ready to hear everything that he told you to say to us.”

³⁴ Then Peter started telling them his message. He said, “Now I really understand that God treats everyone the same.

³⁵ If anyone respects God and does the right thing, God will let them come to him, and he will listen to them. It doesn’t matter if they are Jews, or if they belong to another tribe.

³⁶ This is the message that God sent to the Israel people, that Jesus Christ can make all of us friends with God. You see, Jesus is the boss over everybody.

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?

³⁰ And Cornelius sayde: This daye now .iiii. dayes I fasted and at the nynthe houre I prayde in my housse: and beholde a man stode before me in bright clothynge and sayde:

³¹ Cornelius thy prayer is hearde and thyne almes dedes are had in remembraunce in the sight of God.

³² Sende therfore to Ioppa and call for Simon which is also called Peter. He is lodged in the housse of one Simon a tanner by the see syde the wich assone as he is come shall speake vnto the.

³³ Then sent I for the immediatly and thou hast well done for to come. Now are we all here present before god to heare all thynges that are commaunded vnto the of God.

³⁴ Then Peter opened his mouth and sayde: Of a trueth I perseave that God is not parciall

³⁵ but in all people he that feareth him and worketh rightewesnes is accepted with him.

³⁶ Ye knowe the preachynge that God sent vnto the chyldren of Israel preachinge peace by Iesus Christe (which is Lorde over all thinges:

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.”

³⁰ Cornelius said, “Four days ago at this very hour, I was praying at the ninth hour in my house; and see, a man stood before me in bright clothing.

³¹ He said, 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard by God, and your gifts to the poor have reminded God about you.

³² So send someone to Joppa, and call to you a man named Simon who is called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside.'

³³ So at once I sent for you. You are kind to have come. Now then, we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear everything that you have been instructed by the Lord to say.”

³⁴ Then Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly, I perceive that God does not take anyone's side.

³⁵ Instead, in every nation anyone who worships and does righteous deeds is acceptable to him.

³⁶ You know the message that he sent to the people of Israel, when he announced good news about peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all—

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?”

³⁰ Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing

³¹ and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.

³² Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’

³³ Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”

³⁴ Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;

³⁵ but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

³⁶ The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—

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?”

³⁰ Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing

³⁶ The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—

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?

³⁰ And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

³¹ And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

³² Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he lodgeth in the house of one Simon a tanner, by the sea-side: who, when he cometh, will speak to thee.

³³ Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou hast come. Now therefore we are all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee from God.

³⁴ Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, In truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

³⁵ But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

³⁶ The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

³⁶ The word which he sent to the children of Israel, proclaiming good news of peace by Yeshua the Messiah—he is Lord of all—

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?

³⁰ And Cornelius said, Today, four days into this hour or From the fourth day passed till to this hour, I was praying and fasting in the ninth hour in mine house. And lo! a man stood before me in a white cloth,

³¹ and said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms-deeds be in mind in the sight of God.

³² Therefore send thou into Joppa, and call Simon, that is named Peter; this is harboured in the house of Simon currier, beside the sea. This, when he shall come, shall speak to thee.

³³ Therefore anon I sent to thee, and thou didest well in coming to us. Now therefore we all be present in thy sight, to hear the words, whatever be commanded to thee of the Lord.

³⁴ And Peter opened his mouth, and said, In truth I have found, that God is no acceptor of persons;

³⁵ but in each folk he that dreadeth God, and worketh rightwiseness, is acceptable to him.

³⁶ God sent a word to the children of Israel, showing peace by Jesus Christ; this is the Lord of all things or of all men.

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?

³⁰ And Cornelius said, Today, four days into this hour or From the fourth day passed till to this hour, I was praying and fasting in the ninth hour in mine house. And lo! a man stood before me in a white cloth (or a man stood before me in a white cloak),

³² Therefore send thou into Joppa, and call Simon, that is named Peter; this (man) is harboured in the house of Simon (the) currier, beside the sea. This (man), when he shall come, shall speak to thee.

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

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