Acts 10
1 But a certain man in Caesarea, — by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italic,
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
2 pious, and fearing God with all his house, [both] giving much alms to the people, and supplicating God continually,
A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.
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.
He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto 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 when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Your prayers and your alms are come up for a memorial before God.
5 And now send men to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
6 He lodges with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.
He lodges with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell you what you ought to 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 which spoke unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
8 and related all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
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.
On the next day, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop 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 he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
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 saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down 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 four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, 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, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 And Peter said, In no wise, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common or unclean.
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or 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 unto him again the second time, What God has cleansed, that call not you common.
16 And this took place thrice, and the vessel was straightway taken up into heaven.
This was done three times: and the vessel was received up again 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 while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
18 and having called [some one], they inquired if Simon who was surnamed Peter was lodged there.
And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19 But as Peter continued pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee;
While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit (pneuma) said unto him, Behold, three men seek you.
20 but rise up, go down, and go with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them.
Arise therefore, and get you 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 went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom all of you seek: what is the cause wherefore all of 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.
And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that fears God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for you into his house, and to hear words (rhema) of you.
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 called he them in, and lodged them. And on the next day Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa 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 next day after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25 And when Peter was now coming in, Cornelius met him, and falling down did [him] homage.
And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
26 But Peter made him rise, saying, Rise up: I myself also am a man.
But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
27 And he went in, talking with him, and found many gathered together.
And as he talked 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 unto them, All of you know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God has showed me that I should not call any 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.
Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent (logos) all of 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 I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 and said, Cornelius, thy prayer has been heard, and thy alms have come in remembrance before God.
And said, Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your 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 Joppa, and call here Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he comes, shall speak unto you.
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 you; and you have well done that you are come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded you of God.
34 And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Truthfully I perceive that God is no 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 fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted with him.
36 The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all things, )
The word (logos) which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all: )
37 ye know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached —
That word, (rhema) I say, all of you know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and 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.
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit (pneuma) and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
39 We also [are] witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew, having hanged him on a cross.
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on 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 showed him openly;
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 unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose 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.
And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
43 To him all the prophets bear witness that every one that believes on him will receive through his name remission of sins.
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believes in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 While Peter was yet speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were hearing the word.
While Peter yet spoke these words, (rhema) the Holy Spirit (pneuma) fell on all them which heard the word. (logos)
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 they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
46 for they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 Can any one forbid water that these should not be baptised, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also [did]?
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Spirit (pneuma) 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. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
