Acts 10
1 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲕⲁⲓⲥⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲕⲟⲣⲛⲏⲗⲓⲟⲥ ⲟⲩϩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲥⲡⲓⲣⲏ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧϩⲓⲧⲁⲗⲓⲕⲏ
2 He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He gave generously to the people and prayed to God regularly.
ⲃ̅ⲉⲩⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲉϣⲁϥⲣϩⲁϩ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲛⲁ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ
3 One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩϩⲟⲣⲟⲙⲁ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϫⲡⲯⲓⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲟⲣⲛⲏⲗⲓⲉ
4 Cornelius stared at him in fear and asked, “What is it, Lord?” The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have ascended as a memorial offering before God.
ⲇ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϭⲱϣⲧ 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
5 Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter.

6 He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”

7 When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.

8 He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa.

9 The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.

10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
ⲓ̅ⲁϥϩⲕⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲣϩⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲩⲉⲅⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱϥ
11 He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲏⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲥⲕⲉⲩⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲙⲏⲣ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲟⲡ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛϩⲃⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲭⲁⲗⲁ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ
12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air.

13 Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!”

14 “No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”

15 The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲥⲙⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲉⲡⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲃⲃⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲙⲡⲣϫⲁϩⲙⲟⲩ
16 This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.

17 While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate.

18 They called out to ask if Simon called Peter was staying there.

19 As Peter continued to reflect on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡϩⲟⲣⲟⲙⲁ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲱⲕ
20 So get up! Go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”

21 So Peter went down to the men and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲗⲟⲓϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧⲥ
22 “Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ 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
23 So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.

24 The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

25 As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him.

26 But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”

28 He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.

45 All the circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.
