1 But a certain man in Caesarea, — by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italic,
And there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of that which is called the Italian band;
2 pious, and fearing God with all his house, [both] giving much alms to the people, and supplicating God continually,

3 — saw plainly in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming unto him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
This man saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him, and saying to him: Cornelius.
4 But he, having fixed his eyes upon him, and become full of fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thine alms have gone up for a memorial before God.
And he, beholding him, being seized with fear, said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God.
5 And now send men to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
6 He lodges with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.
7 And when the angel who was speaking to him had departed, having called two of his household and a pious soldier of those who were constantly with him,
And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him.
8 and related all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.
9 And on the morrow, as these were journeying and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house to pray, about the sixth hour.
And on the next day, whilst they were going on their journey, and drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up to the higher parts of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.
10 And he became hungry and desired to eat. But as they were making ready an ecstasy came upon him:
And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.
11 and he beholds the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as a great sheet, [bound] by [the] four corners [and] let down to the earth;
And he saw the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth:
12 in which were all the quadrupeds and creeping things of the earth, and the fowls of the heaven.
Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.
13 And there was a voice to him, Rise, Peter, slay and eat.
And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
14 And Peter said, In no wise, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common or unclean.
But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.
15 And [there was] a voice again the second time to him, What God has cleansed, do not thou make common.
And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
16 And this took place thrice, and the vessel was straightway taken up into heaven.
And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.
17 And as Peter doubted in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold also the men who were sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself, what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon’s house, stood at the gate.
18 and having called [some one], they inquired if Simon who was surnamed Peter was lodged there.
And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19 But as Peter continued pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee;
And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.
20 but rise up, go down, and go with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them.
Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21 And Peter going down to the men said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye come?
Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you are come?
22 And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearing God, and borne witness to by the whole nation of the Jews, has been divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and hear words from thee.
Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
23 Having therefore invited them in, he lodged them. And on the morrow, rising up he went away with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him.
Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following he arose, and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied him.
24 And on the morrow they came to Caesarea. But Cornelius was looking for them, having called together his kinsmen and [his] intimate friends.
And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.
25 And when Peter was now coming in, Cornelius met him, and falling down did [him] homage.
And it came to pass, that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him, Cornelius came to meet him, and falling at his feet adored.
26 But Peter made him rise, saying, Rise up: I myself also am a man.
But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.
27 And he went in, talking with him, and found many gathered together.
And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
28 And he said to them, Ye know how it is unlawful for a Jew to be joined or come to one of a strange race, and to me God has shewn to call no man common or unclean.
And he said to them: You know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew, to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean.
29 Wherefore also, having been sent for, I came without saying anything against it. I inquire therefore for what reason ye have sent for me.
For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me?
30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I had been [fasting] unto this hour, and the ninth [I was] praying in my house, and lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
And Cornelius said: Four days ago, unto this hour, I was praying in my house, at the ninth hour, and behold a man stood before me in white apparel, and said:
31 and said, Cornelius, thy prayer has been heard, and thy alms have come in remembrance before God.
Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
32 Send therefore to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea [who when he is come will speak to thee].
Send therefore to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.
33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and thou hast well done in coming. Now therefore we are all present before God to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore all we are present in thy sight, to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord.
34 And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,
And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive, that God is not a respecter of persons.
35 but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him.
36 The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all things, )

37 ye know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached —
You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,
38 Jesus who [was] of Nazareth: how God anointed him with [the] Holy Spirit and with power; who went through [all quarters] doing good, and healing all that were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree.
40 This [man] God raised up the third day and gave him to be openly seen,
Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
41 not of all the people, but of witnesses who were chosen before of God, us who have eaten and drunk with him after he arose from among [the] dead.
Not to all the people, but to witnesses preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he arose again from the dead;
42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that he it is who was determinately appointed of God [to be] judge of living and dead.

44 While Peter was yet speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were hearing the word.

45 And the faithful of the circumcision were astonished, as many as came with Peter, that upon the nations also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out:
And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished, for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also.
46 for they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.
47 Can any one forbid water that these should not be baptised, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also [did]?
Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we?
48 And he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they begged him to stay some days.
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they desired him to tarry with them some days.
