Acts 10

1Now there^G1161 was^G2258 a certain^G5100 man^G435 in^G1722 Caesarea^G2542, Cornelius^G2883 by name^G3686, a centurion^G1543 of^G1537 the band^G4686 called^G2564 the Italian^G2483 band, 2a devout^G2152 man, and^G2532 one that feared^G5399 God^G2316 with^G4862 all^G3956 his^G846 house^G3624, who^G5037 gave^G4160 much^G4183 alms^G1654 to the people^G2992, and^G2532 prayed^G1189 to God^G2316 always^G1275. 3He saw^G1492 in^G1722 a vision^G3705 openly^G5320, as it were about^G5616 the ninth^G1766 hour^G5610 of the day^G2250, an angel^G32 of God^G2316 coming in^G1525 unto him^G846, and^G2532 saying^G2036 to^G4314 him^G846, Cornelius^G2883. 4And^G1161 he, fastening his eyes^G816 upon him^G846, and^G2532 being^G1096 affrighted^G1719, said^G2036, What^G5101 is it^G2076, Lord^G2962? And^G1161 he said^G2036 unto him^G846, Thy^G4675 prayers^G4335 and^G2532 thine^G4675 alms^G1654 are gone up^G305 for^G1519 a memorial^G3422 before^G1799 God^G2316. 5And^G2532 now^G3568 send^G3992 men^G435 to^G1519 Joppa^G2445, and^G2532 fetch^G3343 one Simon^G4613, who^G3739 is^G1941 surnamed Peter^G4074: 6he^G3778 lodgeth^G3579 with^G3844 one^G5100 Simon^G4613 a tanner^G1038, whose^G3739 house^G3614 is^G2076 by^G3844 the sea side^G2281. 7And^G1161 when^G5613 the angel^G32 that^G3588 spake^G2980 unto him^G2883 was departed^G565, he called^G5455 two^G1417 of his^G846 household-servants^G3610, and^G2532 a devout^G2152 soldier^G4757 of them^G3588 that waited^G4342 on him^G846 continually^G4342; 8and^G2532 having rehearsed^G1834 all^G537 things^G537 unto them^G846, he sent^G649 them^G846 to^G1519 Joppa^G2445. 9Now on^G1161 the morrow^G1887, as^G1565 they were on their journey^G3596, and^G2532 drew nigh^G1448 unto the city^G4172, Peter^G4074 went up^G305 upon^G1909 the housetop^G1430 to pray^G4336, about^G4012 the sixth^G1623 hour^G5610: 10and^G1161 he became^G1096 hungry^G4361, and^G2532 desired^G2309 to eat^G1089: but^G1161 while they^G1565 made ready^G3903, he^G846 fell^G1968 into^G1909 a trance^G1611; 11and^G2532 he beholdeth^G2334 the heaven^G3772 opened^G455, and^G2532 a certain^G5100 vessel^G4632 descending^G2597, as^G5613 it were a great^G3173 sheet^G3607, let down^G2524 by^G1210 four^G5064 corners^G746 upon^G1909 the earth^G1093: 12wherein^G3739 were^G5225 all manner of^G3956 fourfooted beasts^G5074 and^G2532 creeping things^G2062 of the earth^G1093 and^G2532 birds^G4071 of the heaven^G3772. 13And^G2532 there came^G1096 a voice^G5456 to^G4314 him^G846, Rise^G450, Peter^G4074; kill^G2380 and^G2532 eat^G5315. 14But^G1161 Peter^G4074 said^G2036, Not so^G3365, Lord^G2962; for^G3754 I have^G5315 never^G3763 eaten^G5315 anything^G3956 that is common^G2839 and^G2228 unclean^G169. 15And^G2532 a voice^G5456 came unto^G4314 him^G846 again^G3825 the second time^G1208, What^G3739 God^G2316 hath cleansed^G2511, make^G2840 not^G3361 thou^G4771 common^G2840. 16And this^G5124 was done^G1096 thrice^G5151: and^G2532 straightway the vessel^G4632 was received up^G353 into^G1519 heaven^G3772. 17Now^G1161 while^G5613 Peter^G4074 was much perplexed^G1280 in^G1722 himself^G1438 what^G5101 the vision^G3705 which^G3739 he had seen^G1492 might mean^G1498, behold^G2400, the men^G435 that^G3588 were sent^G649 by^G575 Cornelius^G2883, having made inquiry^G1331 for Simon's^G4613 house^G3614, stood^G2186 before^G1909 the gate^G4440, 18and^G2532 called^G5455 and asked^G4441 whether^G1487 Simon^G4613, who^G3588 was surnamed^G1941 Peter^G4074, were lodging^G3579 there^G1759. 19And while^G1161 Peter^G4074 thought^G1760 on^G4012 the vision^G3705, the Spirit^G4151 said unto^G2036 him^G846, Behold^G2400, three^G5140 men^G435 seek^G2212 thee^G4571. 20But^G235 arise^G450, and get thee down^G2597, and^G2532 go^G4198 with^G4862 them^G846, nothing^G3367 doubting^G1252: for^G1360 I^G1473 have sent^G649 them^G846. 21And^G1161 Peter^G4074 went down^G2597 to^G4314 the men^G435, and said^G2036, Behold^G2400, I^G1473 am^G1510 he whom^G3739 ye seek^G2212: what^G5101 is the cause^G156 wherefore^G1223 ye^G3739 are come^G3918? 22And^G1161 they said^G2036, Cornelius^G2883 a centurion^G1543, a righteous^G1342 man^G435 and^G2532 one that feareth^G5399 God^G2316, and^G5037 well reported^G3140 of by^G5259 all^G3650 the nation^G1484 of the Jews^G2453, was warned of God^G5537 by^G5259 a holy^G40 angel^G32 to send for^G3343 thee^G4571 into^G1519 his^G846 house^G3624, and^G2532 to hear^G191 words^G4487 from^G3844 thee^G4675. 23So he^G1528 called them^G846 in^G1528 and lodged^G3579 them^G846. And^G1161 on the morrow^G1887 he^G1528 arose and^G2532 went forth with^G4862 them^G846, and^G2532 certain^G5100 of the brethren^G80 from^G575 Joppa^G2445 accompanied^G4905 him^G846. 24And^G2532 on the morrow^G1887 they entered^G1525 into^G1519 Caesarea^G2542. And^G1161 Cornelius^G2883 was waiting for^G4328 them^G846, having^G2258 called together^G4779 his^G846 kinsmen^G4773 and^G2532 his near^G316 friends^G5384. 25And^G1161 when it came to pass^G5613 that Peter^G4074 entered^G1525, Cornelius^G2883 met^G4876 him^G846, and fell down^G4098 at^G1909 his feet^G4228, and worshipped^G4352 him. 26But^G1161 Peter^G4074 raised^G1453 him^G846 up^G1453, saying^G3004, Stand up^G450; I^G2504 myself^G846 also^G2504 am^G1510 a man^G444. 27And^G2532 as he talked with^G4926 him^G846, he went in^G1525, and^G2532 findeth^G2147 many^G4183 come together^G4905: 28and^G5037 he said^G5346 unto^G4314 them^G846, Ye^G5210 yourselves know^G1987 how^G5613 it is an unlawful thing^G111 for a man^G435 that is^G2076 a Jew^G2453 to join himself or^G2228 come unto^G4334 one of another nation^G246; and yet^G2532 unto^G4334 me^G1698 hath God^G2316 showed^G1166 that^G1166 I should^G3004 not^G3367 call^G3004 any man^G444 common^G2839 or^G2228 unclean^G169: 29wherefore^G1352 also^G2532 I^G2064 came without gainsaying^G369, when I was sent for^G3343. I ask^G4441 therefore^G3767 with what^G5101 intent^G3056 ye sent for^G3343 me^G3165. 30And^G2532 Cornelius^G2883 said^G5346, Four^G5067 days^G2250 ago^G575, until^G3360 this^G3778 hour^G5610, I was^G2252 keeping^G3522 the ninth^G1766 hour^G5610 of prayer^G4336 in^G1722 my^G3450 house^G3624; and^G2532 behold^G2400, a man^G435 stood^G2476 before^G1799 me^G3450 in^G1722 bright^G2986 apparel^G2066, 31and^G2532 saith^G5346, Cornelius^G2883, thy^G4675 prayer^G4335 is heard^G1522, and^G2532 thine^G4675 alms^G1654 are had in remembrance^G3415 in the sight of^G1799 God^G2316. 32Send^G3992 therefore^G3767 to^G1519 Joppa^G2445, and^G2532 call unto thee^G3333 Simon^G4613, who^G3739 is^G1941 surnamed Peter^G4074; he^G3778 lodgeth^G3579 in^G1722 the house^G3614 of^G4613 Simon^G4613 a tanner^G1038, by^G3844 the sea side^G2281. 33Forthwith^G1824 therefore^G3767 I sent^G3992 to^G4314 thee^G4571; and^G5037 thou^G4771 hast^G4160 well^G2573 done^G4160 that thou^G4771 art come^G3854. Now^G3568 therefore^G3767 we^G2249 are all^G3956 here present^G3918 in the sight^G1799 of God^G2316, to hear^G191 all things^G3956 that^G3588 have been commanded^G4367 thee^G4671 of^G5259 the Lord. 34And^G1161 Peter^G4074 opened^G455 his mouth^G4750 and said^G2036, Of^G1909 a truth^G225 I perceive^G2638 that^G3754 God^G2316 is^G2076 no^G3756 respecter of persons^G4381: 35but^G235 in^G1722 every^G3956 nation^G1484 he^G3588 that feareth^G5399 him^G846, and^G2532 worketh^G2038 righteousness^G1343, is^G2076 acceptable^G1184 to him^G846. 36The word^G3056 which^G3739 he sent^G649 unto the children^G5207 of Israel^G2474, preaching^G2097 good tidings of peace^G1515 by^G1223 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 (He^G3778 is^G2076 Lord^G2962 of all^G3956.)— 37that saying^G4487 ye^G5210 yourselves know^G1492, which was published^G1096 throughout^G2596 all^G3650 Judaea^G2449, beginning^G756 from^G575 Galilee^G1056, after^G3326 the baptism^G908 which^G3739 John^G2491 preached^G2784; 38 even Jesus^G2424 of^G575 Nazareth^G3478, how^G5613 God^G2316 anointed^G5548 him^G846 with the Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151 and^G2532 with power^G1411: who^G3739 went about^G1330 doing good^G2109, and^G2532 healing^G2390 all^G3956 that^G3588 were oppressed^G2616 of^G5259 the devil^G1228; for^G3754 God^G2316 was^G2258 with^G3326 him^G846. 39And^G2532 we^G2249 are^G2070 witnesses^G3144 of all things^G3956 which^G3739 he did^G4160 both^G5037 in^G1722 the country^G5561 of the Jews^G2453, and^G2532 in^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419; whom^G3739 also they slew^G337, hanging^G2910 him on^G1909 a tree^G3586. 40Him^G5126 God^G2316 raised up^G1453 the third^G5154 day^G2250, and^G2532 gave^G1325 him^G846 to be made^G1096 manifest^G1717, 41not^G3756 to all^G3956 the people^G2992, but^G235 unto witnesses^G3144 that were chosen before^G4401 of^G5259 God^G2316, even to us^G2254, who^G3748 ate^G4906 and^G2532 drank with^G4844 him^G846 after^G3326 he^G846 rose^G450 from^G1537 the dead^G3498. 42And^G2532 he charged^G3853 us^G2254 to preach^G2784 unto the people^G2992, and^G2532 to testify^G1263 that^G3754 this is^G2076 he who^G3588 is^G2076 ordained^G3724 of^G5259 God^G2316 to be the Judge^G2923 of^G5259 the living and^G2532 the dead^G3498. 43To him^G5129 bear^G3140 all^G3956 the prophets^G4396 witness^G3140, that through^G1223 his^G846 name^G3686 every one^G3956 that believeth^G4100 on^G1519 him^G846 shall receive^G2983 remission^G859 of sins^G266. 44While Peter^G4074 yet^G2089 spake^G2980 these^G5023 words^G4487, the Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151 fell^G1968 on^G1909 all^G3956 them^G3588 that heard^G191 the word^G3056. 45And^G2532 they^G3588 of^G1537 the circumcision^G4061 that believed^G4103 were amazed^G1839, as many as^G3745 came^G4905 with Peter^G4074, because that^G3754 on^G1909 the Gentiles^G1484 also^G2532 was poured out^G1632 the gift^G1431 of the Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151. 46For^G1063 they heard^G191 them^G846 speak^G2980 with tongues^G1100, and^G2532 magnify^G3170 God^G2316. Then^G5119 answered^G611 Peter^G4074, 47Can^G1410 any man^G5100 forbid^G2967 the water^G5204, that^G2967 these^G5128 should^G907 not^G3361 be baptized^G907, who^G3748 have received^G2983 the Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151 as well^G2531 as^G2532 we^G2249? 48And^G5037 he commanded^G4367 them^G846 to be baptized^G907 in^G1722 the name^G3686 of Jesus Christ^G2962. Then^G5119 prayed they^G2065 him^G846 to tarry^G1961 certain^G5100 days^G2250.
