< Acts 10 >

1 There was a certain man in Cæsarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian [band],
ⲁ̅ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲕⲉⲥⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲕⲟⲣⲛⲏⲗⲓⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲥⲡⲩⲣⲁ ⳿ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯϩⲩⲇⲁⲗⲓⲕⲏ.
2 [A] devout [man], and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
ⲃ̅⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ϧⲁ⳿ⲧϩⲏ ⳿ⲙⲪϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲉϥ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲑⲛⲁⲏⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲙⲪϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
3 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.
ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲣⲁⲙⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲫϯ ⲁϥϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲁϫⲡ ϧ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲟⲣⲛⲏⲗⲓⲉ.
4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
ⲇ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲟϯ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ Ⲡ⳪ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲩⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲉⲑⲛⲁⲏⲧ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲉⲣ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲪϯ.
5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for [one] Simon, whose surname is Peter:
ⲉ̅ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲓⲟⲡⲡⲏⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϫⲉ Ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲫⲏ⳿⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ Ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ.
6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.

7 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
ⲍ̅⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲉⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲃ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲏⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
8 And when he had declared all [these] things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.

9 On the morrow, 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 very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
ⲓ̅ⲛⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ϩⲕⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲃϯ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲧⲱⲙⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ.
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲏⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲕⲉⲩⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲭⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲓⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲇ̅ ⳿ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲏ.
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅Ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫⲱⲣ Ⲡ⳪ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲉⲙ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⳿⳿ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲉϥϭⲁϧⲉⲙ ⲓⲉ ⲉϥⲥⲟϥ.
15 And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.

16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

17 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,
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϩⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲣⲁⲙⲁ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲕⲟⲣⲛⲏⲗⲓⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩϣⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⳿ⲡⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲤⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲣⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡⲩⲗⲱⲛ.
18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.

20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.

21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what [is] the cause wherefore ye are come?

22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.

23 Then called he them in, and lodged [them]. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped [him].

28 And he said unto them, Ye 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 hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

42 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 give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

45 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 Ghost.

47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
