Deeds (Act) of Apostles 10:18-46

¹⁸And when they had called, they asked if Simon, that is named Peter, had there harbour. (And they called out, and asked if Simon, who was called Peter, was harboured there.)

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 (he), whom ye seek; what is the cause, for which ye be come? or for which 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. (And they said, Cornelius, the centurion, a righteous man, and revering God, and receiving good testimony from all the Jewish people, received a word from a holy angel, to call thee to his house, and to hear some words from thee.)

²³Therefore he led them in, and received (them) in harbour; and that night they dwelled with him. And in the day (pur)suing he rose (or And on the following day he rose up), and went forth with them; and some of the brethren followed him from Joppa or and some of (the) brethren from Joppa followed him, (so) that they be witnesses to Peter.

²⁴And the tother day (or And the next 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 (or and honoured) him.

²⁶But Peter raised him (up), 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 (or to a foreigner); but God showed to me, that no man say a man common, either unclean (or unclean).

²⁹For which thing I came, when I was called, without doubting. Therefore 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 (or a man stood before me in a white cloak),

³¹and said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine almsdeeds be in mind in the sight of God (or and thy acts of charity be remembered before God).

³²Therefore 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.

³³Therefore anon I sent to thee (or And so at once I sent for 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.

³⁴And Peter opened his mouth, and said, In truth I have found, that God is no acceptor of persons, (or In truth I have found, that God hath no favourites among people);

³⁵but in each folk he that dreadeth God, and worketh rightwiseness, is accept(able) to him. (but among all people and every nation, he who hath fearful reverence for God, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.)

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

³⁷Ye know the word that is made (or the tidings that be told) through(out) all Judea, and (that) began at Galilee, after the baptism that John preached, (about) Jesus of Nazareth;

³⁸how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost, and virtue; which passed forth in doing well or which passed forth in well-doing, and healing all men oppressed of the devil, for God was with him. (how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit, and with power; and he went forth doing good, and healing everyone oppressed by the Devil, for God was with him.)

³⁹And we be witnesses of all things, which he did in the country of (the) Jews, and of Jerusalem; whom they slew, hanging on a tree.

⁴⁰And God raised this (man) in (or on) the third day, and gave him to be made known,

⁴¹not to all the people, but to witnesses before-ordained of God; to us that ate and drank with him, after that he rose again from death or after that he rose again from (the) dead.

⁴²And he commanded to us to preach to the people, and to witness, that he it is, that is ordained of God doomsman of the quick and of the dead. (And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify, that it is he, who is ordained by God to be the Judge of the living and of the dead.)

⁴³To this all (the) prophets bear witnessing or To this all prophets bear witness, that all men that believe in him, shall receive remission of sins by his name. (And all the prophets testify about him, that all who believe in him, shall receive forgiveness for their sins through his name.)

⁴⁴And yet while that Peter spake these words, the Holy Ghost felled on all that heard the word. (And while Peter spoke these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard the word.)

⁴⁵And the faithful men of (the) circumcision, that came with Peter, wondered, that also into nations the grace of the Holy Ghost is shed out. (And the faithful men of the circumcision, who came with Peter, wondered and were amazed, that the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on heathen men, that is, upon the Gentiles.)

⁴⁶For they heard them speaking in languages or speaking with tongues, and magnifying God. Then Peter answered (or Then Peter asked),
