Acts 10
1 And there was a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion from a cohort that is called Italian,
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, also doing many kind acts to the people, and always imploring God;
A religious man, and fearing God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and always praying to God.
3 he saw in a vision openly, as it were the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in to 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 and he having looked earnestly on him, and becoming afraid, said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your kind acts came 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 send for a certain one Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
6 this one lodges with a certain Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea; this one will speak to you what you must do.”
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 messenger who is speaking to Cornelius went away, having called two of his servants, and a pious soldier of those waiting on him continually,
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 having expounded 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 next day, as these are proceeding on the way, and are drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the housetop 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 very hungry, and wished to eat; and they making ready, there fell on him a trance,
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 Heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending to him, as a great sheet, bound at the four corners, and let down on 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 four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky,
Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.
13 and there came a voice to him: “Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.”
And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
14 And Peter said, “Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat 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 is] a voice again a second time to him: “What God cleansed, you do not declare common”;
And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
16 and this was done three times, and again was the vessel received up to Heaven.
And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.
17 And as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision that he saw might be, then, behold, the men who have been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for 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, they were asking if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, lodges here.
And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19 And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you;
And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.
20 but having risen, go down and go on with them, doubting nothing, because I have sent them”;
Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21 and Peter having come down to the men who have been sent from Cornelius to him, said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek, what [is] the cause for which you are present?”
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 man righteous and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for you, to his house, and to hear sayings from you.”
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 called them in, therefore, he lodged them, and on the next day Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brothers 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 next day they entered into Caesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and near friends,
And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.
25 and as it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at [his] feet, worshiped [him];
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 and Peter raised him, saying, “Stand up; I am also a man myself”;
But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.
27 and talking with him he went in, and finds many having come together.
And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
28 And he said to them, “You know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come to, one of another race, but God showed to me 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 therefore also without contradicting I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter you 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 until this hour, I was fasting, and [at] the ninth hour praying in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in radiant 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 he said, Cornelius, your prayer was heard, and your kind acts were remembered 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 call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one lodges in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, will speak to you;
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 at once, therefore, I sent to you; you also did well, having come; now, therefore, we are all present before God to hear all things that have been commanded you by 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 having opened his mouth, said, “Of a truth, I perceive that God is not favoring by appearance,
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 who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him;
But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him.
36 the word that He sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news—peace through Jesus Christ (this One is Lord of all),
God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.)
37 you have known the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the immersion that 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 [is] from Nazareth—how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the Devil, because God was with Him;
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.
39 and we are witnesses of all things that He did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem—whom they slew, having hanged [Him] on a tree.
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 One God raised up [on] the third day, and gave Him to become visible,
Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God—to us who ate with [Him], and drank with Him, after His rising out of 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 fully testify that it is He who has been ordained judge of living and dead by God—
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.
43 to this One do all the Prophets testify, that through His Name everyone that is believing in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”
To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.
44 While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy Spirit fell on all those hearing the word,
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word.
45 and those of circumcision [who were] believing were astonished—as many as came with Peter—because the gift of the Holy Spirit has also been poured out on the nations,
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 were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.
For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.
47 Then Peter answered, “Is anyone able to forbid the water, that these may not be immersed, who received the Holy Spirit—even as us also?”
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 He commanded them to also be immersed in the Name of the LORD; then they implored him to remain certain 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.
