Acts 10:28-48

²⁸And 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:

²⁹therfore 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?

³⁰And 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:

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

³²Sende 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.

³³Then 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.

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

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

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

³⁷Which preachinge was published thorow oute all Iewrye and begane in Galile after the baptyme which Iohn preached

³⁸how God had annoynted Iesus of Nazareth with the holy goost and with power which Iesus went aboute doinge good and healynge all that were oppressed of the develles for God was with him.

³⁹And we are witnesses of all thinges which he dyd in the londe of the Iewes and at Ierusalem whom they slew and honge on tree.

⁴⁰Him God reysed vp the thyrde daye and shewed him openly

⁴¹not to all the people but vnto vs witnesses chosyn before of God which ate and dronke with him after he arose from deeth.

⁴²And he commaunded vs to preache vnto the people and testifie that it is he that is ordened of God a iudge of quycke and deed.

⁴³To him geve all the Prophetes witnes that thorowe his name shall receave remission of synnes all that beleve in him.

⁴⁴Whyle Peter yet spake these wordes the holy gost fell on all them which hearde the preachinge.

⁴⁵And they of the circucision which beleved were astonyed as many as came with Peter because that on the Gentyls also was sheed oute the gyfte of the holy gost.

⁴⁶For they hearde them speake with tonges and magnify God. Then answered Peter:

⁴⁷can eny man forbyd water that these shuld not be baptised which have receaved the holy goost as well as we?

⁴⁸And he commaunded them to be baptysed in the name of the Lorde. Then prayde they him to tary a feawe dayes.
