Acts 10
1 And there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of that which is called the Italian band;
Ther was a certayne man in Cesarea called Cornelius a captayne of ye soudiers of Italy
2 A religious man, and fearing God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and always praying to God.
a devoute man and one yt feared God wt all his housholde which gave moche almes to the people and prayde God alwaye.
3 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.
The same man sawe in a vision evydetly aboute ye nynthe houre of ye daye an angell of god comynge into him and sayinge vnto him: Cornelius.
4 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.
When he looked on him he was afrayde and sayde: what is it lorde? He sayde vnto him. Thy prayers and thy almeses ar come vp into remembraunce before God.
5 And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
And now sende men to Ioppa and call for one Simon named also Peter.
6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner whose housse is by ye see syde. He shall tell the what thou oughtest to doo.
7 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.
When the angell which spake vnto Cornelius was departed he called two of his housholde servauntes and a devoute soudier of them that wayted on him
8 To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.
and tolde them all the mater and sent them to Ioppa.
9 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.
On the morowe as they wet on their iorney and drewe nye vnto the cite Peter went vp into the toppe of ye housse to praye aboute the. vi. houre.
10 And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.
Then wexed he an hongred and wolde have eate. But whyll they made redy. He fell into a trauce
11 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:
and sawe heven opened and a certayne vessell come doune vnto him as it had bene a greate shete knyt at the. iiii. corners and was let doune to the erth
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.
where in wer all maner of. iiii. foted beastes of the erth and vermen and wormes and foules of the ayer.
13 And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
And ther came a voyce to him: ryse Peter kyll and eate.
14 But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.
But Peter sayde: God forbyd Lorde for I have never eaten eny thinge that is comen or vnclene.
15 And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
And the voyce spake vnto him agayne the seconde tyme: what God hath clensed that make thou not comen.
16 And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.
This was done thryse and the vessell was receaved vp agayne into heven.
17 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.
Whyle Peter mused in him selfe what this vision which he had sene meant beholde the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquirance for Simons housse and stode before the dore.
18 And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
And called out won and axed whether Simon which was also called Peter were lodged there.
19 And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.
Whyll Peter thought on this vision the sprete sayde vnto him: Beholde men seke the:
20 Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
aryse therfore get the doune and goo with them and doute not. For I have sent them.
21 Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you are come?
Peter went doune to ye men which were sent vnto him from Cornelius and sayde Beholde I am he whom ye seke what is the cause wherfore ye are come?
22 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.
And they sayde vnto him: Cornelius the captayne a iust man and won that feareth God and of good reporte amonge all the people of the Iewes was warned by an holy angell to sende for the into his housse and to heare wordes of the.
23 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.
Then called he them in and lodged them. And on ye morowe Peter wet awaye with them and certayne brethren from Ioppa accompanyed hym.
24 And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.
And the thyrd daye entred they into Cesaria. And Cornelius wayted for them and had called to gether his kynsmen and speciall frendes.
25 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.
And as it chaunsed Peter to come in Cornelius met hym and fell doune at his fete and worshipped hym.
26 But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.
But Peter toke him vp sayinge: stonde vp: for evyn I my silfe am a ma.
27 And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
And as he talked with him he cam in and founde many that were come to gether.
28 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.
And he sayde vnto them: Ye do knowe how that yt ys an vnlawfull thynge for a man that is a Iewe to company or come vnto an alient: But god hath shewed me that I shuld not call eny man commen or vnclene:
29 For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me?
therfore came I vnto you with oute sayege naye assone as I was sent for. I axe therfore for what intent have ye sent for me?
30 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:
And Cornelius sayde: This daye now. iiii. dayes I fasted and at the nynthe houre I prayde in my housse: and beholde a man stode before me in bright clothynge
31 Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
and sayde: Cornelius thy prayer is hearde and thyne almes dedes are had in remembraunce in the sight of God.
32 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.
Sende therfore to Ioppa and call for Simon which is also called Peter. He is lodged in the housse of one Simon a tanner by the see syde ye wich assone as he is come shall speake vnto ye.
33 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.
Then sent I for ye immediatly and thou hast well done for to come. Now are we all here present before god to heare all thynges yt are commaunded vnto the of God.
34 And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive, that God is not a respecter of persons.
Then Peter opened his mouth and sayde: Of a trueth I perseave that God is not parciall
35 But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him.
but in all people he that feareth him and worketh rightewesnes is accepted with him.
36 God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.)
Ye knowe the preachynge that God sent vnto the chyldren of Israel preachinge peace by Iesus Christe (which is Lorde over all thinges):
37 You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,
Which preachinge was published thorow oute all Iewrye and begane in Galile after the baptyme which Iohn preached
38 Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
how God had annoynted Iesus of Nazareth with the holy goost and with power which Iesus went aboute doinge good and healynge all yt were oppressed of the develles for God was with him.
39 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.
And we are witnesses of all thinges which he dyd in the londe of the Iewes and at Ierusalem whom they slew and honge on tree.
40 Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
Him God reysed vp ye thyrde daye and shewed him openly
41 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;
not to all the people but vnto vs witnesses chosyn before of God which ate and dronke with him after he arose from deeth.
42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God, to be judge of the living and of the dead.
And he comaunded vs to preache vnto the people and testifie that it is he that is ordened of God a iudge of quycke and deed.
43 To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.
To him geve all the Prophetes witnes that thorowe his name shall receave remission of synnes all that beleve in him.
44 While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word.
Whyle Peter yet spake these wordes the holy gost fell on all them which hearde the preachinge.
45 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.
And they of ye circucision which beleved were astonyed as many as came wt Peter because that on the Gentyls also was sheed oute ye gyfte of the holy gost.
46 For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.
For they hearde them speake with tonges and magnify God. Then answered Peter:
47 Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we?
can eny man forbyd water that these shuld not be baptised which have receaved the holy goost as well as we?
48 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.
And he comaunded them to be baptysed in the name of the Lorde. Then prayde they him to tary a feawe dayes.
