Acts 10
1 And there was a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion from a cohort that is called Italian,
But, a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italian, —
2 pious, and fearing God with all his house, also doing many kind acts to the people, and always imploring God;
Devout, and fearing God with all his house, doing many alms unto the people, and supplicating God continually,
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”;
Saw, in a vision, manifestly, as if about the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God, coming in unto him, and saying unto 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, looking steadfastly at him, and becoming full of fear, said—What is it, Lord? And he said unto him—Thy prayers and thine alms, have gone up for a memorial before God.
5 and now send men to Joppa, and send for a certain one Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
Now, therefore, send men unto Joppa, and fetch 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.”
The same is a guest with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea.
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 messenger who had been speaking with him had departed, calling two of the domestics, and a devout soldier of them that constantly attended him,
8 and having expounded all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
And relating everything unto them, he sent them off unto Joppa.
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,
Now, on the morrow, as those men were journeying, and, unto the city, drawing near, Peter went up on the housetop 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,
But he became hungry, and wished to eat, —and, while they were making ready, there came upon him a trance;
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 beholdeth heaven opened, and, corning down, a kind of vessel, like a large linen cloth, by its four corners, being let down upon 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,
In which were all the quadrupeds and creeping things of earth and birds of heaven.
13 and there came a voice to him: “Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.”
And there came a voice unto him—Rise, Peter! slay and eat.
14 And Peter said, “Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean”;
But Peter said—By no means, Lord! because, at no time, have I eaten anything common or unclean.
15 and [there is] a voice again a second time to him: “What God cleansed, you do not declare common”;
And a voice [came] again, a second time, unto him—What things, God, hath cleansed, be not, thou, making common.
16 and this was done three times, and again was the vessel received up to Heaven.
Now, this, took place thrice; and, straightway, was the vessel 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,
And, as within himself Peter was doubting what the vision which he had seen might mean, lo! the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
18 and having called, they were asking if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, lodges here.
And, calling, enquired whether, Simon who was surnamed Peter, was there being entertained.
19 And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you;
And, as Peter was pondering over the vision, the Spirit said—Lo! two men, seeking thee.
20 but having risen, go down and go on with them, doubting nothing, because I have sent them”;
But rise, go down, and be journeying with them, nothing, doubting; because, 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?”
And Peter, going down unto the men, said—Lo! I, am he whom ye are seeking: What is the cause, for which ye 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.”
And they said—Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well-attested by the whole nation of the Jews, hath been divinely instructed by a holy messenger to send for thee unto his house, and to hear words from 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,
Inviting them in, therefore, he entertained them; but, on the morrow, he rose up and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren who were from Joppa went with 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, on the morrow, he entered into Caesarea. And, Cornelius, was expecting them, having called together his kinsfolk and intimate friends.
25 and as it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at [his] feet, worshiped [him];
And, when it came about that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and, falling at his feet, did homage.
26 and Peter raised him, saying, “Stand up; I am also a man myself”;
But, Peter, raised him up, saying—Arise! I also myself, am, a man.
27 and talking with him he went in, and finds many having come together.
And, conversing with him, he went in, and findeth many 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 said unto the—Ye, well know, how unlawful it is, for, a Jew, to be joining himself or coming in unto one of another race. And yet, unto me, hath God pointed out that I should be calling 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?”
Wherefore, even without gainsaying, came I when sent for. I ask, therefore, for what reason ye 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, counting unto this very hour, I was keeping, the ninth hour, as one of prayer, in my house. And lo! a man stood before me, in bright clothing,
31 and he said, Cornelius, your prayer was heard, and your kind acts were remembered before God;
And saith—Cornelius! thy prayer hath been heard, and, thine alms, have been remembered before 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, unto Joppa, and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter. The same is being entertained in the house of one Simon a tanner, by the sea.
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 unto thee: Thou, also hast, well, done in coming. Now, therefore, all we, before God are present, to hear all things that have been enjoined upon 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—Of a truth, I find that God is no 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 righteousness, is acceptable unto 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),
As touching the word he hath sent unto the sons of Israel, announcing the glad tidings of peace through Jesus Christ—the same, 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;
Ye yourselves, know what hath come to pass throughout the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee, after the immersion which John proclaimed, respecting Jesus who was of Nazareth: —
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;
How God anointed him with Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the adversary, because, 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.
We also, are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the country of the Jews and Jerusalem; whom they even slew by suspending upon a tree; —
40 This One God raised up [on] the third day, and gave Him to become visible,
The same, God raised up on the third day, and gave him to become, 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 unto all the people, but unto witnesses who had been fore-appointed by God, unto us, who, indeed, did eat and drink with him after his rising from among 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 charged us to proclaim unto the people, and bear full witness, that—This, is he that hath been marked out by God to be judge of living and dead.
43 to this One do all the Prophets testify, that through His Name everyone that is believing in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”
Unto the same, do all the prophets bear witness, That, remission of sins, is to be received through his name, by every one that believeth on 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 Spirit fell upon all who were hearing 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 had come with Peter, were amazed, —in that, upon the nations also, the free-gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out;
46 for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.
For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God. Then answered Peter—
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?”
Surely then, the water, can no man forbid, that these should not be immersed, —seeing that, the Holy Spirit, they have received, 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 in the name of Jesus Christ to be immersed. Then, requested they him, to abide still some days.
