Acts 10
1 Ther was a certayne man in Cesarea called Cornelius a captayne of ye soudiers of Italy
And a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian,
2 a devoute man and one yt feared God wt all his housholde which gave moche almes to the people and prayde God alwaye.
devout, and fearing God with all his house, and doing many alms to the people, and praying to God always;
3 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.
saw openly in a vision about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, Cornelius.
4 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.
And he looking upon him, and being afraid, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayer and thine alms have come up for a memorial before God.
5 And now sende men to Ioppa and call for one Simon named also Peter.
And now send men to Joppa, and call for a certain Simon, who is called Peter:
6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner whose housse is by ye see syde. He shall tell the what thou oughtest to doo.
he is lodging with a certain Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea.
7 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
And when the angel speaking to him went away, calling two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually;
8 and tolde them all the mater and sent them to Ioppa.
and having related all things to them, he sent them away to Joppa.
9 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.
And on the following day, they traveling, and drawing nigh the city, Peter went up on the house to pray about the sixth hour.
10 Then wexed he an hongred and wolde have eate. But whyll they made redy. He fell into a trauce
And he became hungry, and wished to eat: but they getting it ready, an ecstasy came on him,
11 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
and he saw the heaven open, and a certain vessel like a great sheet came down, and resting upon the earth with four rope ends:
12 where in wer all maner of. iiii. foted beastes of the erth and vermen and wormes and foules of the ayer.
in which were all quadrupeds, and creeping things of the earth, and birds of the heaven.
13 And ther came a voyce to him: ryse Peter kyll and eate.
And a voice came to him, Arising, Peter, slay, and eat.
14 But Peter sayde: God forbyd Lorde for I have never eaten eny thinge that is comen or vnclene.
And Peter said, By no means, Lord, because I never was in the habit of eating anything unconsecrated and unclean.
15 And the voyce spake vnto him agayne the seconde tyme: what God hath clensed that make thou not comen.
And the voice again the second time came to him, Whatsoever things God has cleansed, do not count unclean;
16 This was done thryse and the vessell was receaved vp agayne into heven.
and this took place the third time; and immediately the vessel was received up into the heaven.
17 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.
And while Peter was at a loss within himself, as to what the vision he saw might be, behold, the men having been sent by Cornelius, making inquiry for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
18 And called out won and axed whether Simon which was also called Peter were lodged there.
and having called, they were asking, if Simon, called Peter, lodges there.
19 Whyll Peter thought on this vision the sprete sayde vnto him: Beholde men seke the:
And Peter meditating concerning the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men are seeking thee;
20 aryse therfore get the doune and goo with them and doute not. For I have sent them.
but rising up, come down, and go with them, doubting nothing: because I have sent them.
21 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?
And Peter having come down to the men, said, Behold, I am he whom you are seeking: what is the cause on account of which you are present?
22 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.
And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, and being of good report by all the nation of the Jews, was warned by a holy angel to send for thee to come into his house, and to hear words with thee.
23 Then called he them in and lodged them. And on ye morowe Peter wet awaye with them and certayne brethren from Ioppa accompanyed hym.
Then having called them in, he lodged them. And on the following day, rising up he went out with them, and certain ones of the brethren, who were from Joppa went along with him.
24 And the thyrd daye entred they into Cesaria. And Cornelius wayted for them and had called to gether his kynsmen and speciall frendes.
And on the following day they came into Caesarea; and Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his own relatives and near friends.
25 And as it chaunsed Peter to come in Cornelius met hym and fell doune at his fete and worshipped hym.
And when it came to pass that Peter was coming in, Cornelius meeting him, falling down at his feet, worshiped.
26 But Peter toke him vp sayinge: stonde vp: for evyn I my silfe am a ma.
And Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I also am a man.
27 And as he talked with him he cam in and founde many that were come to gether.
And conversing with him, he came in, and finds many having come together;
28 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:
and he said to them, You know how it is an unlawful thing for a Jewish man to associate with, or come to one of another nation; and God has shown me not to call any man unconsecrated or unclean.
29 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?
Therefore indeed, being sent for, I came unhesitatingly. Then I make inquiry for what word did you send for me?
30 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
And Cornelius said, From the fourth day until this hour, indeed the ninth, I was praying in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in shining apparel,
31 and sayde: Cornelius thy prayer is hearde and thyne almes dedes are had in remembraunce in the sight of God.
and says, Cornelius, thy prayer has been heard, and thine alms have been remembered before God.
32 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.
Therefore send to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is called Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon the tanner by the sea.
33 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.
Then I immediately sent for thee; and thou hast done well being present. Now therefore we are all present before God, to hear all things which have been commanded thee of the Lord.
34 Then Peter opened his mouth and sayde: Of a trueth I perseave that God is not parciall
And Peter, opening his mouth, said, In truth I apprehend that God is no respecter of persons:
35 but in all people he that feareth him and worketh rightewesnes is accepted with him.
but in every nation the one fearing him, and working righteousness, is acceptable to him;
36 Ye knowe the preachynge that God sent vnto the chyldren of Israel preachinge peace by Iesus Christe (which is Lorde over all thinges):
the word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ: he is Lord of all.
37 Which preachinge was published thorow oute all Iewrye and begane in Galile after the baptyme which Iohn preached
This word you know, which was throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 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.
Jesus, the one from Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Ghost and power: who went about doing good, and healing all oppressed by the devil: because God is with Him.
39 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.
And we are witnesses in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they even slew, hanging him on the wood.
40 Him God reysed vp ye thyrde daye and shewed him openly
God raised him on the third day, and gave him to be made manifest;
41 not to all the people but vnto vs witnesses chosyn before of God which ate and dronke with him after he arose from deeth.
not to all the people, but to the witnesses having been chosen of God, to us, who ate and drank along with him after He arose from the dead:
42 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.
and He commanded us to preach to the people, and to witness that He is the One ordained of God the Judge of the living and the dead.
43 To him geve all the Prophetes witnes that thorowe his name shall receave remission of synnes all that beleve in him.
And to Him give all the prophets witness, that every one believing on him receives the remission of sins through His name.
44 Whyle Peter yet spake these wordes the holy gost fell on all them which hearde the preachinge.
Peter yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all those hearing the word.
45 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.
And the faithful ones who were of the circumcision, so many as came along with Peter, were astonished, because the gift of the Holy Ghost was poured out on the Gentiles also;
46 For they hearde them speake with tonges and magnify God. Then answered Peter:
for they were hearing them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.
47 can eny man forbyd water that these shuld not be baptised which have receaved the holy goost as well as we?
Then Peter responded, Whether is any one able to forbid the water, that these shall not be baptized, whosoever received the Holy Ghost as we indeed?
48 And he comaunded them to be baptysed in the name of the Lorde. Then prayde they him to tary a feawe dayes.
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to tarry some days.
