Now there was a certain man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
2 ⲃ̅ ⲉⲩⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲉϣⲁϥⲣϩⲁϩ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲛⲁ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ
devout and fearing God with all his household, both giving alms generously to the people and praying to God about everything.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩϩⲟⲣⲟⲙⲁ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϫⲡⲯⲓⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲟⲣⲛⲏⲗⲓⲉ
About the ninth hour of the day, in a vision, he saw clearly an angel of God entering his presence and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
4 ⲇ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϭⲱϣⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁϥ ⲁϥⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲕϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲛⲧⲛⲁ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲣ ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
Well, staring at him and being frightened he said, “What is it, Lord?” So he said to him: “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.
Now send men to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
he is lodging with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
7 ⲍ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲧϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲛⲉϥϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲣⲙⲛⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲣⲟⲥⲕⲁⲣⲧⲉⲣⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
So when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those who were faithful to him,
and explaining everything to them he sent them to Joppa.
9 ⲑ̅ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϫⲉⲛⲉⲡⲱⲣ ⲉϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϫⲡⲥⲟ
Now on the next day, as they were traveling and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
Well he became hungry and wanted to eat; but while they were preparing, a trance fell on him,
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲏⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲥⲕⲉⲩⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲙⲏⲣ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲟⲡ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛϩⲃⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲭⲁⲗⲁ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ
and he saw the heaven opened and a container like a great sheet descending to him—it was tied at the four corners and was being let down to the earth—
in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth (both wild animals and reptiles) and birds of the sky.
Then a voice came to him, “Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!”
But Peter said: “No way, Lord! Never have I eaten anything ‘common’ or unclean!”
So the voice came to him a second time, “What (pl) God has made clean you must not call ‘common’!”
Well this happened three times, and then the object was taken back up into the sky.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲁⲡⲟⲣⲣⲓ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲓϩⲟⲣⲟⲙⲁ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲕⲟⲣⲛⲏⲗⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲩϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲏⲓ ⲛⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲣⲙⲡⲣⲟ
Now as Peter was really perplexed within himself as to what the vision that he had seen might mean, well the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having inquired and found Simon's house, stood before the gate,
and calling out they inquired whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was staying there as a guest.
So as Peter was pondering the vision the Spirit said to him: “Listen, some men are looking for you;
so get up and go downstairs; and go with them, doubting nothing, for I have sent them.”
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲗⲟⲓϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧⲥ
So going down to the men Peter said: “Yes, I am the one you are looking for. For what reason have you come?”
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲟⲣⲛⲏⲗⲓⲟⲥ ⲟⲩϩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲛⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲥⲉⲃⲉ ⲉⲓⲁⲧϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲕ
So they said: “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man, well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by an angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you.”
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥϣⲟⲡⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲟⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲓⲟⲡⲡⲏ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ
So he invited them in and put them up. The next day Peter set out with them, also some of the brothers from Joppa went with him;
24 ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲕⲁⲓⲥⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲕⲟⲣⲛⲏⲗⲓⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲉϥϭⲱϣⲧ ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲥⲩⲅⲅⲉⲛⲏⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥϣⲃⲏⲣ ⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ
and the following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and close friends.
So when Peter actually arrived, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet and worshiped.
But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
And conversing with him he went in and found many gathered there.
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϣⲗⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱϩ ⲏ ⲉϯ ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲗⲗⲟⲫⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟⲓ ⲉⲧⲙⲉⲡⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ϥϫⲁϩⲙ ⲏ ⲟⲩⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ
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.
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 ⲗ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲕⲟⲣⲛⲏⲗⲓⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϫⲓⲛ ϥⲧⲉⲩ ⲉⲡⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲓⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲓⲛⲏⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲓϣⲗⲏⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲏⲓ ⲙⲡⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϫⲡⲯⲓⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲁⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲃⲥⲱ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲃϣ
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
and said: ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms are remembered before God.
32 ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ ⲙⲁϫⲟⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲉⲓⲟⲡⲡⲏ ⲛⲅⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲏϩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲏⲓ ⲛⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲃⲁⲕϣⲁⲁⲕ ϩⲁⲧⲛ ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛϥϫⲱ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲛϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲕⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ
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 ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲕ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲁⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲁⲕⲉⲓ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲟⲩⲉϩ ⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
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.”
So opening his mouth Peter said: “Really, I comprehend that God is not One to show partiality,
but in every ethnic nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is acceptable to Him.
36 ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ ⲡⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲓⲏⲗ ⲉϥⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ
The word that He sent to the sons of Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—
37 ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⲉⲁϥⲁⲣⲭⲉⲓ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲕⲩⲣⲏⲥⲥⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
that spoken word you know, that was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached:

Jesus of Natsareth, how God anointed Him with Holy Spirit and power, who went about doing good and healing all those being oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him
39 ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲛⲟ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲭⲱⲣⲁ ⲛϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲑⲓⲗⲏⲙ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧϥ ⲉⲁⲩⲁϣⲧϥ ⲉⲩϣⲉ
—yes, we are witnesses of all that He did, both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem—whom they also killed, hanging Him on a tree.
Him God raised on the third day, and gave Him to become visible,
41 ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲁⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲟϣⲟⲩ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲥⲱ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲧⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛϩⲙⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ
not to all the people but to witnesses who had been chosen beforehand by God, to us, who ate and drank with Him after He arose out from the dead.
42 ⲙ̅ⲃ̅ ⲉⲁϥⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲓⲗⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲕⲏⲣⲩⲥⲥⲉ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲟϣϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲕⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ
And He ordered us to proclaim to the people, that is, to testify that He is the One who has been ordained by God as Judge of living and dead.
43 ⲙ̅ⲅ̅ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ
To Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes into Him will receive forgiveness of sins.”
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were hearing the message.
45 ⲙ̅ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲡⲱϣⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲃⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲇⲱⲣⲉⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲡⲱϩⲧ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛ ⲛⲕⲉϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ
Well the believers of the circumcision [Jews] who had come with Peter were astonished, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had also been poured out on the Gentiles,
in that they heard them speaking languages and magnifying God. Then Peter responded:
47 ⲙ̅ⲍ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ϣϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲕⲱⲗⲩ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲓ ⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲛϩⲉ
“Surely no one can forbid the water, can he, that these should not be baptized who received the Holy Spirit just like we did?”
So he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they asked him to stay a few days.
