2 He always tried to do what would please God; he and his entire household [MTY] [were non-Jews who] habitually worshipped God. He sometimes gave money to help poor [Jewish] people, and he prayed to God regularly.

3 [One day] at about three o’clock in the afternoon [Cornelius saw] a vision. He clearly saw an angel whom God [had sent]. The angel came into [his room] and said to him, “Cornelius!”
to perceive: see in/on/among vision plainly like/as/about about hour ninth (hour) the/this/who day angel the/this/who God to enter to/with it/s/he and to say it/s/he Cornelius
4 Cornelius stared at the angel and became terrified. Then he asked [fearfully], “Sir, what do you [(sg)] want?” The angel answered him, “You [(sg)] have pleased God because you have been praying [regularly to him] and you often give money to [help] poor people. [Those things have been] like a sacrifice [to God].
the/this/who then to gaze it/s/he and afraid to be to say which? to be lord: God to say then it/s/he the/this/who prayer you and the/this/who charity you to ascend toward memorial (before *N(k)O*) the/this/who God
5 So, now command some men to go to Joppa and [tell them to] bring back a man named Simon whose other name is Peter.
and now to send man toward Joppa and to summon Simon (one *n(o)*) which (to call (on)/name Peter *NK(o)*)
6 He is staying with a man, [also] named Simon, who makes leather. His house is near the ocean.”
this/he/she/it to host from/with/beside one Simon tanner which to be home from/with/beside sea (this/he/she/it to speak you which? you be necessary to do/make: do *K*)
7 When the angel who spoke to Cornelius had gone, Cornelius summoned two of his household servants and a soldier who served him, one who also worshipped God.
as/when then to go away the/this/who angel the/this/who to speak (the/this/who *k*) (it/s/he *N(K)O*) to call two the/this/who slave (it/s/he *k*) and soldier pious the/this/who to continue in/with it/s/he
8 He explained to them everything [that the angel had said. Then] he told them to go to Joppa [to ask Peter to come to Caesarea].
and to tell all it/s/he to send it/s/he toward the/this/who Joppa
9 About noon the next day those [three men] were traveling [along the road] and were coming near [Joppa. As they were approaching Joppa], Peter went up on the [flat] housetop to pray.
the/this/who then the next day to journey (that *NK(o)*) and the/this/who city to come near to ascend Peter upon/to/against the/this/who housetop to pray about hour sixth
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat. While someone was preparing the food, [Peter] saw [this] vision:
to be then very hungry and to will/desire to taste to prepare then (it/s/he to be *N(k)O*) upon/to/against it/s/he amazement
11 (He saw heaven open/He saw an opening in the sky) and something like a large sheet was being lowered [to the ground]. [It was tied at] its four corners [with ropes].
and to see/experience the/this/who heaven to open and to come/go down (upon/to/against it/s/he *K*) vessel one as/when sheet great four beginning (to bind and *KO*) to lower upon/to/against the/this/who earth: planet
12 Inside the sheet were all kinds of creatures. [These included animals and birds that the Mosaic laws forbade Jews to eat]. Some had four feet, others scurried across the ground, and others were wild birds.
in/on/among which be already all the/this/who four-footed (and the/this/who wild animal *K*) and (the/this/who *k*) reptile the/this/who earth: country and (the/this/who *k*) bird the/this/who heaven
13 Then [he heard] God [SYN] say to him, “Peter, stand up, kill [and cook some of these] and eat [their meat]!”
and to be voice/sound: voice to/with it/s/he to arise Peter to sacrifice and to eat
14 But Peter replied, “Lord, surely you [(sg)] do not [really want me to do that]! I have never eaten any [meat] that [our Jewish law says] is unacceptable to God or [something that we(exc)] must not eat!”
the/this/who then Peter to say surely not lord: God that/since: since never to eat all common: unsanctified (and *N(k)O*) unclean
15 [Then Peter heard] [MTY] God talk to him a second time. He said, “[I am] God, [so] if I have made something acceptable [to eat], do not say that it is not acceptable [to eat]!”
and voice/sound: voice again out from secondly to/with it/s/he which the/this/who God to clean you not to profane
16 [This happened] three [times, so Peter knew that he had to think carefully about what it might mean]. Immediately [after God had said that the third time], ([the] sheet [with the animals and birds] was the pulled back into heaven/[someone] pulled the sheet [with the animals and birds] up into the sky again).
this/he/she/it then to be upon/to/against three times and (immediately *N(K)O*) to take up the/this/who vessel toward the/this/who heaven
17 While Peter was trying to understand what that vision meant, the men who had been sent by Cornelius {whom Cornelius had sent} [arrived in Joppa. They asked people how to get to] Simon’s house. [So they found his house] and were standing outside the gate.
as/when then in/on/among themself be perplexed the/this/who Peter which? if to be the/this/who vision which to perceive: see (and *k*) look! the/this/who man the/this/who to send (by/under: by *N(k)O*) the/this/who Cornelius to ascertain the/this/who home (the/this/who *no*) Simon to approach upon/to/against the/this/who gate
18 They called and were asking if a man named Simon, whose other name was Peter, was staying there.
and to call (to inquire *NK(o)*) if Simon the/this/who to call (on)/name Peter in/to this place to host
19 While Peter was still trying to understand [what] the vision [meant], [God’s] Spirit said to him, “Three men [are here who] want to see you.
the/this/who then Peter (to ponder *N(k)O*) about the/this/who vision to say it/s/he the/this/who spirit/breath: spirit look! man (Three *NK(O)*) (to seek *N(k)O*) you
20 So get up and go downstairs and go with them! Do not think that you [(sg)] should not go with them [because of their being non-Jews], because I have sent them [here]!”
but to arise to come/go down and to travel with it/s/he nothing to judge/doubt (that/since: since *N(k)O*) I/we to send it/s/he
21 So Peter went down to the men and said to them, “[Greetings!] I am [the man] you are looking for. Why have you come?”
to come/go down then Peter to/with the/this/who man (the/this/who to send away from the/this/who Cornelius to/with it/s/he *K*) to say look! I/we to be which to seek which? the/this/who cause/charge through/because of which be present
22 One of them replied, “Cornelius, who is a [Roman] army officer, [sent us here]. He is a righteous man who worships God, and all of the Jewish people [HYP] [who know about him] say that he is a very good man. An angel (who was sent from God/whom God sent) said to him, ‘Tell some men to [go to Joppa to see Simon Peter and] bring him here, so that you [(sg)] can hear what he has to say.’”
the/this/who then to say Cornelius centurion man just and to fear the/this/who God to testify and/both by/under: by all the/this/who Gentiles the/this/who Jew to announce by/under: by angel holy to summon you toward the/this/who house: home it/s/he and to hear declaration from/with/beside you
23 So Peter [said that he would go with them, and then he] invited them into [the house] and told them that they could stay [there that night]. Acts 10:23b-26 The next day Peter got ready and went with the men. Several of the believers from Joppa went with him.
to invite therefore/then it/s/he to host the/this/who then the next day (to arise *NO*) (the/this/who *k*) (Peter *K*) to go out with it/s/he and one the/this/who brother the/this/who away from (the/this/who *k*) Joppa to assemble it/s/he
24 The day after that, they arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them. He had also invited his relatives and close friends [to come to his house, so they were there, too].
(and *k*) the/this/who (then *no*) the next day (to enter *N(k)O*) toward the/this/who Caesarea the/this/who then Cornelius to be to look for it/s/he to call together the/this/who kindred it/s/he and the/this/who necessary friendly/friend
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and bowed low in front of him to worship him.
as/when then to be the/this/who to enter the/this/who Peter to meet it/s/he the/this/who Cornelius to collapse upon/to/against the/this/who foot to worship
26 But Peter [grasped Cornelius by the hand and] lifted him to his feet. He said, “Stand up! [Do not revere/worship me] I myself am only human, [like you]!”
the/this/who then Peter to arise it/s/he to say to arise and I/we it/s/he a human to be
27 While he was talking to Cornelius, Peter [and the others] entered [a large room inside the house]. Peter saw that many people had gathered together [there].
and to converse it/s/he to enter and to find/meet to assemble much
28 Then Peter said to them, “You all know that any [of us] Jews think we are disobeying [our Jewish] laws if we [(exc)] associate with a non-Jewish person or [if we even] visit him. However, God has shown me [in a vision] that I should not say about anyone that God will not accept him.
to assert and/both to/with it/s/he you to know/understand as/when unlawful to be man Jew to join or to come near/agree foreign I/we and the/this/who God to show nothing common: unsanctified or unclean to say: call a human
29 So when you sent [some men] to ask me to come [here], I came [right away. I] did not say that I could not go [with non-Jewish people. So, please tell me], why have you asked me to come [here]?”
therefore and without objection to come/go to summon to inquire therefore/then which? word to summon me
30 Cornelius replied, “About this time four days ago I was praying [to God] in my house, [as I regularly do] at three o’clock in the afternoon. Suddenly a man whose clothes [shone] brightly stood in front of me,
and the/this/who Cornelius to assert away from fourth day until this/he/she/it the/this/who hour to be (to fast and *K*) the/this/who ninth (hour) (hour *k*) to pray in/on/among the/this/who house: home me and look! man to stand before me in/on/among clothing shining
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, when you [(sg)] have prayed, you have been heard by God {God has heard [when] you [(sg)] have prayed [to him]}. He has also noticed that you have [often] given money to [help] poor people, [and he is pleased with that].
and to assert Cornelius to listen to you the/this/who prayer and the/this/who charity you to remember before the/this/who God
32 So now, send [messengers to go] to Joppa, [in order] to ask Simon whose other name is Peter to come [here]. He is staying near the ocean in a house that belongs to [another] man named Simon, who makes leather. [When Simon Peter comes, he will tell you a message from God].’
to send therefore/then toward Joppa and to summon Simon which to call (on)/name Peter this/he/she/it to host in/on/among home Simon tanner from/with/beside sea (which to come to speak you *K*)
33 So I immediately sent [some men who asked] you [(sg) to come here], and I [certainly] thank you for coming. Now we [(exc)] all are gathered [here, knowing that] God is with us, in order to hear all the things that the Lord [God] has commanded you [to say. So please speak to us].”
immediately therefore/then to send to/with you you and/both well to do/make: do to come now therefore/then all me before the/this/who God be present to hear all the/this/who to order you by/under: by the/this/who (lord: God *N(K)O*)
34 So Peter began to speak [MTY] to them. He said, “[Now] I understand that it is true that God does not favor only certain groups [of people].
to open then Peter the/this/who mouth to say upon/to/against truth to grasp that/since: that no to be prejudiced person the/this/who God
35 Instead, from every group of people he accepts [everyone who] honors him and who does what pleases him.
but in/on/among all Gentiles the/this/who to fear it/s/he and to work righteousness acceptable it/s/he to be
36 [You know] the message that God sent to [us] Israelis. [He] proclaimed [to us the good news that he] would cause [people] to have peace [with him] because of what Jesus Christ [has done]. This [Jesus is Lord not only over us Israelis. He] is [also the] Lord [who rules] over all [people].
the/this/who word which to send the/this/who son Israel to speak good news peace through/because of Jesus Christ this/he/she/it to be all lord: God
37 You know what [he] did throughout the land of Judea, beginning in Galilee. He began [to do those things] after John had been proclaiming [to people that they should turn away from their sinful behavior before] he baptized them.
you to know the/this/who to be declaration according to all the/this/who Judea (be first *N(k)O*) away from the/this/who Galilee with/after the/this/who baptism which to preach John
38 You know that God gave [MTY] his Holy Spirit to Jesus, [the Man] from Nazareth [town], and gave him the power [to do miracles. You also know] how Jesus went to many places, always doing good deeds and healing [people. Specifically], he was continually healing all the people whom the devil was causing to suffer. [Jesus was able to do those things] because God was always helping him.”
Jesus the/this/who away from Nazareth as/when to anoint it/s/he the/this/who God spirit/breath: spirit holy and power which to pass through to do good and to heal all the/this/who to oppress by/under: by the/this/who devilish/the Devil that/since: since the/this/who God to be with/after it/s/he
39 “We [apostles] tell people about all the things that [we saw Jesus] do in Jerusalem and in the [rest of] Israel. [The leaders in Jerusalem] had him killed by being nailed to a cross.
and me (to be *k*) witness all which to do/make: do in/on/among and/both the/this/who country the/this/who Jew and in/on/among Jerusalem which (and *no*) to kill to hang upon/to/against wood
40 However, God caused him to become alive again on the third day [after he had died]. God [also] enabled [some of us(exc)] to see him [so that we would know that he was alive again].
this/he/she/it the/this/who God to arise (in/on/among *n*) the/this/who third day and to give it/s/he revealed to be
41 God [did] not [let] all the [Jewish] people see him. Instead, he had chosen us [apostles] beforehand to see [Jesus after he became alive again], and to tell others [about him]. We [apostles are the people] who ate meals with him (after he had become alive [again]/after he had risen from the dead).
no all the/this/who a people but witness the/this/who to choose by/under: by the/this/who God me who/which to eat with and to drink with it/s/he with/after the/this/who to arise it/s/he out from dead
42 God commanded us to preach to the people and tell them that Jesus is the one whom he has appointed to judge [everyone some day. He will judge all] those who will [still] be living and all those who will have died [by that time].
and to order me to preach the/this/who a people and to testify solemnly that/since: that (this/he/she/it *N(k)O*) to be the/this/who to determine by/under: by the/this/who God judge to live and dead
43 All of the prophets [who wrote about the Messiah long ago] told [people] about him. [They wrote] that if people believe in the Messiah [MTY], God would forgive [them for] their sins, because of what [the Messiah would do] for them.”
this/he/she/it all the/this/who prophet to testify forgiveness sin to take through/because of the/this/who name it/s/he all the/this/who to trust (in) toward it/s/he
44 While Peter was still speaking those words, suddenly the Holy Spirit (came down on/began to control) all [those non-Jewish people] who were listening to the message.
still to speak the/this/who Peter the/this/who declaration this/he/she/it to fall/press upon the/this/who spirit/breath: spirit the/this/who holy upon/to/against all the/this/who to hear the/this/who word
45 The Jewish believers who had come with Peter [from Joppa] were amazed that [God] had generously given the Holy Spirit to the non-Jewish people, too.
and to amaze the/this/who out from circumcision faithful (just as/how much *NK(O)*) to assemble the/this/who Peter that/since: that and upon/to/against the/this/who Gentiles the/this/who free gift the/this/who holy (the/this/who *o*) spirit/breath: spirit to pour out
46 [The Jewish believers knew that God had done that] because they were hearing those people speaking languages [MTY] [that they had not learned] and telling how great God is.
to hear for it/s/he to speak tongue and to magnify the/this/who God then to answer (the/this/who *k*) Peter
47 Then Peter said [to the other Jewish believers who were there], “[God] has given them the Holy Spirit just like [he gave him] to us [Jewish believers], so (surely all of you would agree that [we(exc)] should baptize these people!/would any of you forbid that these people should be baptized?) [RHQ]”
surely not the/this/who water be able to prevent one the/this/who not to baptize this/he/she/it who/which the/this/who spirit/breath: spirit the/this/who holy to take (as/when *N(k)O*) and me
48 Then Peter told those [non-Jewish] people that they should be baptized [to show that they had believed] [MTY] in the [Lord] Jesus Christ. [So they baptized all of them. After they were baptized], they requested that Peter stay [with them] several days. [So Peter and the other Jewish believers did that].
to order (then *N(k)O*) it/s/he in/on/among the/this/who name (Jesus Christ *NO*) to baptize (the/this/who lord: God *K*) then to ask it/s/he to remain/keep on day one
