¹ Now there was a man at Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian^a Or battalioncohort, ² a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, and gave many^b Or gifts of charityalms to the Jewish people and prayed to God continually. ³ About the^c I.e. 3 p.m.ninth hour of the day he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God who had just come in and said to him, “Cornelius!” ⁴ And fixing his gaze on him and being much alarmed, he said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and^d Or deeds of charityalms have ascended as a memorial before God. ⁵ Now dispatch some men to Joppa and send for a man named Simon, who is also called Peter; ⁶ he is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the sea.” ⁷ When the angel who was speaking to him had left, he summoned two of his^e Or household slavesservants and a devout soldier of those who were his personal attendants, ⁸ and after he had explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.	1 Act 8:40 Act 10:24 Mat 27:27 Mar 15:16 Joh 18:3 Joh 18:12 Act 21:31 Act 27:1 2 Act 10:22 Act 10:35 Act 13:16 Act 13:26 Luk 7:4 3 Act 3:1 Act 9:10 Act 10:17 Act 10:19 Act 5:19 4 Act 3:4 Rev 8:4 Mat 26:13 Php 4:18 Heb 6:10 5 Act 9:36 6 Act 9:43 8 Act 9:36
⁹ On the next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the^f I.e. noonsixth hour to pray. ¹⁰ But he became hungry and was desiring to eat; but while they were making preparations, he fell into a trance; ¹¹ and he saw the^g Or heavensky opened up, and an^h Or vesselobject like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground, ¹² and there were in it all kinds of four-footed animals andⁱ Or reptilescrawling creatures of the earth and birds of the^j Or heavenair. ¹³ A voice came to him, “Get up, Peter,^k Or sacrificekill and eat!” ¹⁴ But Peter said, “By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything^l Or profane; lit commonunholy and unclean.” ¹⁵ Again a voice came to him a second time, “What God has cleansed, no longer consider^m Lit make commonunholy.” ¹⁶ This happened three times, and immediately theⁿ Or vesselobject was taken up into the^o Or heaven*sky.	9 Act 10:9-32 Act 11:5-14 Jer 19:13 Jer 32:29 Zep 1:5 Mat 24:17 Psa 55:17 Act 10:3 10 Act 11:5 Act 22:17 11 Joh 1:51 14 Mat 8:2 Joh 4:11 Act 9:5 Act 22:8 Lev 11:20-25 Deu 14:4-20 Eze 4:14 Dan 1:8 Act 10:28 15 Mat 15:11 Mar 7:19 Rom 14:14 Co1 10:25 Ti1 4:4 Tit 1:15
¹⁷ Now while Peter was greatly perplexed in^p Lit himselfmind as to what the vision which he had seen might be, behold, the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having asked directions for Simon’s house, appeared at the gate; ¹⁸ and calling out, they were asking whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was staying there. ¹⁹ While Peter was reflecting on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold,^q One early ms reads twothree men are looking for you. ²⁰ But get up, go downstairs and accompany them^r Lit doubting nothingwithout misgivings, for I have sent them Myself.” ²¹ Peter went down to the men and said, “Behold, I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason for which you have come?” ²² They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man well spoken of by the entire nation of the Jews, was divinely directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and hear^s Lit wordsa message from you.”	17 Act 10:3 Act 10:8 19 Act 10:3 Act 8:29 20 Act 15:7-9 22 Act 10:2 Mat 2:12 Mar 8:38 Luk 9:26 Rev 14:10 Act 11:14
