Deeds (Act) of Apostles 10:17-31

¹⁷And while that Peter doubted within himself, what the vision was that he saw, lo! the men, that were sent from Cornelius, sought the house of Simon, and stood at the gate.

¹⁸And when they had called, they asked if Simon, that is named Peter, had there harbour.

¹⁹And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Lo! three men seek thee.

²⁰Therefore rise thou, and go down, and go with them, and doubt thou nothing, for I sent them.

²¹And Peter came down to the men, and said, Lo! I am, whom ye seek; what is the cause, for which ye be come? or ye have come?

²²And they said, Cornelius, the centurion, a just man, and dreading God, and having good witnessing of all the folk of Jews, took answer of an holy angel, to call thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.

²³Therefore he led them in, and received in harbour; and that night they dwelled with him. And in the day pursuing he rose, and went forth with them; and some of the brethren followed him from Joppa or some of brethren from Joppa followed him, that they be witnesses to Peter.

²⁴And the tother day, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius abode them, with his cousins, and necessary friends, that were called together.

²⁵And it was done, when Peter was come in or when Peter had entered, Cornelius came meeting him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.

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

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

²⁸And 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.

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

³⁰And 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,

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