10:1 There
was
a
certaine
man
in
Cesarea,
called
Cornelius,
a
Centurion
of
ye
band
called
the
Italian
band,
10:2 A
deuout
man,
and
one
that
feared
God
with
all
his
house,
which
gaue
much
almes
to
the
people,
and
prayed
to
God
alway.
10:3 He
saw
in
a
vision
euidently,
about
the
ninth
houre
of
the
day,
an
Angel
of
God
comming
in
to
him,
and
saying
vnto
him
Cornelius.
10:4 And
when
he
looked
on
him,
hee
was
afraid,
and
said,
What
is
it,
Lord
And
he
said
vnto
him,
Thy
praiers
and
thine
almes
are
come
vp
for
a
memorial
before
God.
10:5 And
now
send
men
to
Ioppa,
and
call
for
one
Simon,
whose
sirname
is
Peter.
10:6 Hee
lodgeth
with
one
Simon
a
Tanner,
whose
house
is
by
the
Sea
side;
he
shall
tell
thee
what
thou
oughtest
to
doe.
10:7 And
when
the
Angel
which
spake
vnto
Cornelius,
was
departed,
he
called
two
of
his
houshold
seruants,
and
a
deuout
souldier
of
them
that
waited
on
him
continually.
10:8 And
when
he
had
declared
all
these
things
vnto
them,
he
sent
them
to
Ioppa.
10:9 On
the
morrow
as
they
went
on
their
iourney,
and
drew
nigh
vnto
the
citie,
Peter
went
vp
vpon
the
house
to
pray,
about
the
sixth
houre.
10:10 And
he
became
very
hungry,
and
would
haue
eaten:
But
while
they
made
ready,
he
fell
into
a
traunce,
10:11 And
saw
heauen
opened,
and
a
certaine
vessell
descending
vnto
him,
as
it
had
beene
a
great
sheete,
knit
at
the
foure
corners,
and
let
downe
to
the
earth:
10:12 Wherein
were
all
maner
of
foure
footed
beasts
of
the
earth,
and
wilde
beasts,
and
creeping
things,
and
foules
of
the
ayre.
10:13 And
there
came
a
voyce
to
him,
Rise,
Peter:
kill,
and
eate.
10:14 But
Peter
said,
Not
so,
Lord;
for
I
haue
neuer
eaten
any
thing
that
is
common
or
vncleane.
10:15 And
the
voice
spake
vnto
him
againe
the
second
time,
What
God
hath
cleansed,
that
call
not
thou
common.
10:16 This
was
done
thrise:
&
the
vessel
was
receiued
vp
againe
into
heauen.
10:17 Now
while
Peter
doubted
in
himselfe
what
this
vision
which
he
had
seene,
should
meane:
behold,
the
men
which
were
sent
from
Cornelius,
had
made
inquirie
for
Simons
house,
and
stood
before
the
gate,
10:18 And
called,
and
asked
whether
Simon,
which
was
sirnamed
Peter,
were
lodged
there.
10:19 While
Peter
thought
on
the
vision,
the
spirit
said
vnto
him,
Behold,
three
men
seeke
thee.
10:20 Arise
therefore,
and
get
thee
downe,
and
goe
with
them,
doubting
nothing:
for
I
haue
sent
them.
10:21 Then
Peter
went
downe
to
the
men,
which
were
sent
vnto
him
from
Cornelius,
and
said,
Behold,
I
am
hee,
whom
ye
seeke:
what
is
the
cause
wherefore
ye
are
come
10:22 And
they
saide,
Cornelius
the
Centurion,
a
iust
man,
and
one
that
feareth
God,
and
of
good
report
among
all
the
nation
of
the
Iewes,
was
warned
from
God
by
an
holy
Angel,
to
send
for
thee
into
his
house,
and
to
heare
words
of
thee.
10:23 Then
called
he
them
in,
and
lodged
them:
And
on
the
morrowe
Peter
went
away
with
them,
and
certaine
brethren
from
Ioppa
accopanied
him.
10:24 And
the
morrow
after
they
entred
into
Cesarea:
and
Cornelius
waited
for
them,
and
had
called
together
his
kinsmen
and
neere
friends.
10:25 And
as
Peter
was
comming
in,
Cornelius
met
him,
and
fell
downe
at
his
feete,
and
worshipped
him.
10:26 But
Peter
tooke
him
vp,
saying,
Stand
vp,
I
my
selfe
also
am
a
man.
10:27 And
as
he
talked
with
him,
hee
went
in,
and
found
many
that
were
come
together.
10:28 And
he
said
vnto
them,
Ye
know
how
that
it
is
an
vnlawfull
thing
for
a
man
that
is
a
Iewe,
to
keepe
company
or
come
vnto
one
of
another
nation:
but
God
hath
shewed
me,
that
I
should
not
call
any
man
common
or
vncleane.
10:29 Therfore
came
I
vnto
you
without
gainesaying,
as
soone
as
I
was
sent
for.
I
aske
therefore,
for
what
intent
ye
haue
sent
for
me.
10:30 And
Cornelius
said,
Foure
daies
agoe
I
was
fasting
vntill
this
houre,
and
at
the
ninth
houre
I
prayed
in
my
house,
and
behold,
a
man
stood
before
me
in
bright
clothing,
10:31 And
said,
Cornelius,
thy
prayer
is
heard,
and
thine
almes
are
had
in
remembrance
in
the
sight
of
God.
10:32 Send
therfore
to
Ioppa,
and
call
hither
Simon,
whose
sirname
is
Peter;
he
is
lodged
in
the
house
of
one
Simon
a
Tanner,
by
the
Sea
side,
who
when
he
cometh,
shall
speake
vnto
thee.
10:33 Immediately
therefore
I
sent
to
thee,
and
thou
hast
well
done,
that
thou
art
come.
Now
therefore
are
we
all
heere
present
before
God,
to
heare
all
things
that
are
comanded
thee
of
God.
10:34 Then
Peter
opened
his
mouth,
and
said,
Of
a
trueth
I
perceiue
that
God
is
no
respecter
of
persons:
10:35 But
in
euery
nation,
he
that
feareth
him,
and
worketh
righteousnesse,
is
accepted
with
him.
10:36 The
word
which
God
sent
vnto
the
children
of
Israel,
preaching
peace
by
Iesus
Christ
(he
is
Lord
of
all.)
10:37 That
word
(I
say)
you
knowe
which
was
published
thorowout
all
Iudea,
and
began
from
Galilee,
after
the
baptisme
which
Iohn
preached:
10:38 How
God
anointed
Iesus
of
Nazareth
with
the
holy
Ghost,
and
with
power,
who
went
about
doing
good,
and
healing
all
that
were
oppressed
of
the
deuill:
for
God
was
with
him.
10:39 And
we
are
witnesses
of
all
things
which
hee
did
both
in
the
land
of
the
Iewes,
and
in
Hierusalem,
whom
they
slew
and
hanged
on
a
tree,
10:40 Him
God
raised
vp
the
third
day,
and
shewed
him
openly,
10:41 Not
to
all
the
people,
but
vnto
witnesses,
chosen
before
of
God,
euen
to
vs
who
did
eate
and
drinke
with
him
after
he
rose
from
the
dead.
10:42 And
he
commanded
vs
to
preach
vnto
the
people,
and
to
testifie
that
it
is
he
which
was
ordeined
of
God
to
be
the
Iudge
of
quicke
and
dead.
10:43 To
him
giue
all
the
Prophets
witnesse,
that
through
his
Name
whosoeuer
beleeueth
in
him,
shall
receiue
remission
of
sinnes.
10:44 While
Peter
yet
spake
these
words,
the
holy
Ghost
fell
on
all
them
which
heard
the
word.
10:45 And
they
of
the
circumcision
which
beleeued,
were
astonished,
as
many
as
came
with
Peter,
because
that
on
the
Gentiles
also
was
powred
out
the
gift
of
the
holy
Ghost.
10:46 For
they
heard
them
speake
with
tongues,
and
magnifie
God.
Then
answered
Peter,
10:47 Can
any
man
forbid
water,
that
these
should
not
bee
baptized,
which
haue
receiued
the
holy
Ghost,
as
well
as
wee
10:48 And
hee
commanded
them
to
be
baptized
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord.
Then
prayed
they
him
to
tarie
certaine
dayes.
