Acts 10:1-8 - Cornelius Has A Vision

1 There was a man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the Italian Band. 2 He was a devout man who respected God with his entire household. He gave many gifts of mercy to the people and prayed to God always. 3 About the ninth hour of the day he clearly saw a vision. An angel of God came to him and said, Cornelius.

4 He looked at him and was afraid. What is it, Lord? He replied. The angel said: God hears your prayers and sees your gifts of mercy. 5 Send men to Joppa to bring back Simon, whose surname is Peter: 6 He is staying with a tanner named Simon whose house is by the sea.

7 When the angel who spoke to Cornelius left, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier who was his attendant. 8 He told them what happened and sent them to Joppa.
