[1]
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band ,
[2]
A devout man , and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
[3]
He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
[4]
And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
And
1161
when he looked
816
,
5660
on him
846
,
he was
1096
,
5637
afraid
1719
,
and
2532
said
2036
,
5627
,
What
5101
is it
2076
,
5748
,
Lord
2962
?
And
1161
he said
2036
,
5627
unto him
846
,
Thy
4675
prayers
4335
and
2532
thine
4675
alms
1654
are come up
305
,
5627
for
1519
a memorial
3422
before
1799
God
2316
.
[5]
And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
[6]
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
[7]
And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
[8]
And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
[9]
On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
[10]
And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
[11]
And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
[12]
Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
[13]
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
[14]
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
[15]
And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
[16]
This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
[17]
Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
Now
1161
while
5613
Peter
4074
doubted
1280
,
5707
in
1722
himself
1438
what
5101
this vision
3705
which
3739
he had seen
1492
,
5627
should mean
302
,
1498
,
5751
,
behold
2400
,
5628
,
2532
,
the men
435
which
3588
were sent
649
,
5772
from
575
Cornelius
2883
had made enquiry
1331
,
5660
for Simon's
4613
house
3614
,
and stood
2186
,
5627
before
1909
the gate
4440
,
[18]
And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
[19]
While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
[20]
Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
[21]
Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
Then
1161
Peter
4074
went down
2597
,
5631
to
4314
the men
435
which
3588
were sent
649
,
5772
unto
4314
him
846
from
575
Cornelius
2883
;
and said
2036
,
5627
,
Behold
2400
,
5628
,
I
1473
am
1510
,
5748
he whom
3739
ye seek
2212
,
5719
:
what
5101
is
the cause
156
wherefore
1223
,
3739
ye are come
3918
,
5748
?
[22]
And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
And
1161
they said
2036
,
5627
,
Cornelius
2883
the centurion
1543
,
a just
1342
man
435
,
and
2532
one that feareth
5399
,
5740
God
2316
,
and
5037
of good report
3140
,
5746
among
5259
all
3650
the nation
1484
of the Jews
2453
,
was warned from God
5537
,
5681
by
5259
an holy
40
angel
32
to send
3343
,
5664
for thee
4571
into
1519
his
846
house
3624
,
and
2532
to hear
191
,
5658
words
4487
of
3844
thee
4675
.
[23]
Then called he them in, and lodged them . And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
[24]
And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
[25]
And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him .
[26]
But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
[27]
And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
[28]
And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
And
5037
he said
5346
,
5713
unto
4314
them
846
,
Ye
5210
know
1987
,
5736
how
5613
that it is
2076
,
5748
an unlawful thing
111
for a man
435
that is a Jew
2453
to keep company
2853
,
5745
,
or
2228
come unto
4334
,
5738
one of another nation
246
;
but
2532
God
2316
hath shewed
1166
,
5656
me
1698
that I should not
3367
,
0
call
3004
,
5721
any
3367
man
444
common
2839
or
2228
unclean
169
.
[29]
Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
[30]
And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
And
2532
Cornelius
2883
said
5346
,
5713
,
Four
5067
days
2250
ago
575
I was
2252
,
5713
fasting
3522
,
5723
until
3360
this
5026
hour
5610
;
and
2532
at the ninth
1766
hour
5610
I prayed
4336
,
5740
in
1722
my
3450
house
3624
,
and
2532
,
behold
2400
,
5628
,
a man
435
stood
2476
,
5627
before
1799
me
3450
in
1722
bright
2986
clothing
2066
,
[31]
And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
[32]
Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
Send
3992
,
5657
therefore
3767
to
1519
Joppa
2445
,
and
2532
call hither
3333
,
5669
Simon
4613
,
whose
3739
surname is
1941
,
5743
Peter
4074
;
he
3778
is lodged
3579
,
5743
in
1722
the house
3614
of
one
Simon
4613
a tanner
1038
by
3844
the sea side
2281
:
who
3739
,
when he cometh
3854
,
5637
,
shall speak
2980
,
5692
unto thee
4671
.
[33]
Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
[34]
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
[35]
But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
[36]
The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
[37]
That word, I say , ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
[38]
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
[39]
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
[40]
Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
[41]
Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
[42]
And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
[43]
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
[44]
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
[45]
And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
[46]
For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
[47]
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
[48]
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
