Acts 10
1 Now there was a certain man at Cesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band: a pious man,
And there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of that which is called the Italian band;
2 and one that feared God, with all his house; giving also much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.
A religious man, and fearing God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and always praying to God.
3 He evidently saw in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto 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 looking earnestly at him, and being afraid, said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up as 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 fetch hither one Simon, whose sirname is Peter.
And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea-side: he shall tell thee what thou 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 As soon as the angel, that spake to Cornelius, was departed, he called two of his domestic servants, and a devout soldier, that constantly attended him.
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 when he had related all to them, he sent them to Joppa.
To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.
9 On the morrow, while they were on their journey, and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the top of the house 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 was very hungry, and desired something to eat: but while they were getting it ready, he fell into a trance; and saw heaven opened,
And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.
11 and some thing descending to him, like a great sheet tied at the four corners, and let down to 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 kinds of four-footed creatures, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.
13 And there was a voice which said to him, Rise, Peter, kill and eat.
And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
14 But Peter said, By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing polluted or unclean.
But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.
15 And the voice said to him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, do not thou account polluted.
And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
16 This was done thrice, and the vessel was taken up again into heaven.
And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.
17 Now while Peter was doubting in himself what might be the meaning of the vision which he had seen, behold the men that were sent from Cornelius, having enquired for Simon's house, stood at the door;
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 called, and asked, if Simon sirnamed Peter lodged there.
And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19 And as Peter was pondering upon the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold there are three men enquiring for thee:
And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.
20 arise therefore and go down, and go along with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.
Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21 Then Peter went down to the men that were sent to him from Cornelius, and said, Behold I am the person whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye are come?
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 the centurion, a righteous man, and one that feareth God, and of a good character among all the nation of the Jews, hath been warned from God by an holy angel, to send for thee to his house, and to hear what thou shalt say.
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 Then he invited them in, and entertained them that night. And on the morrow Peter set out with them; and some of the brethren 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 the next day they came into Cesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relations and intimate 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 Peter came in, Cornelius met him, and falling down at his feet did him reverence.
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 But Peter raised him up, saying, I myself also am a man.
But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.
27 And as he was conversing with him, he went in, and found many assembled together.
And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
28 And he said unto them, Ye know how unlawful it is for a man that is a Jew, to associate with or go to the house of one of another nation: but God hath shewn me, that I should not call any man polluted 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 And therefore I came to you, when I was sent for, without demur. I ask therefore on what account ye 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 I was fasting till this hour, and at the ninth hour I was praying in my house, when behold a man stood before me in bright raiment,
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 said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are 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 hither Simon, who is sirnamed Peter, (he lodgeth in the house of one Simon a tanner, by the sea-side, ) who when he cometh, will talk with thee.
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 Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and thou hast done well that thou art come. And now we are all here present before God, to hear all the things which God hath charged thee with to us.
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 Then Peter opened his mouth and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
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 that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to Him.
But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him.
36 According to the declaration which He made to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.)
37 Ye know the report that was spread through all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached: concerning Jesus of Nazareth,
You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,
38 how God anointed Him with the holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil: for 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 Judea, and in the city of Jerusalem: whom notwithstanding they put to death, hanging 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 Him God raised up the third day, and gave Him to be seen openly; not to all the people,
Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
41 but to witnesses before appointed by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with Him, after He rose from 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 unto the people, and to testify that it is He who is appointed by God to be judge of the living and of the dead.
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 Him do all the prophets bear witness, that whosoever believeth on Him shall receive the forgiveness of their sins through his name.
To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.
44 While Peter was yet speaking these words, the holy Spirit fell upon all them that heard the word.
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word.
45 And those of the circumcision that were believers, who came with Peter, were astonished, that the gift of the holy Spirit was conferred upon the Gentiles also:
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 heard them speaking in divers languages, and glorifying God.
For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.
47 Then said Peter, Can any one forbid water, that these persons should not be baptized, who have received the holy Spirit, as well as we?
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 And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. And they desired him to stay there some 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.
