Deeds (Act) of Apostles 10:21-32

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.
