Acts 10:1-8 - Cornelius Has A Vision

¹ There was at Caesarea a man named Cornelius, a captain in what was known as the Italian regiment. ² He was a devout man, who feared God, as did all the members of his household. He was liberal in charities to the people, and always prayed to God. ³ One afternoon, about three o'clock, he had a vision, and distinctly saw an angel of God come into his room and say to him, "Cornelius!"

⁴ He stared at him in terror, and said, "What is it, sir?" "Your prayers and charities," the angel answered, "have gone up and been remembered before God. ⁵ Now send men to Joppa, for a man named Simon, who is also called Peter. ⁶ He is being entertained at the house of a tanner named Simon, which is close to the sea."

⁷ When the angel who had spoken to him was gone, Cornelius called two of his servants, and a devout soldier who was one of his personal attendants, ⁸ and after telling them the whole story, sent them to Joppa.
