Acts 10:1-8 - Cornelius Has A Vision
1 There was then in Caesarea a man named Cornelius, a Captain in the regiment known as the 'Italian Regiment,' 2 A religious man and one who reverenced God, with all his household. He was liberal in his charities to the people, and prayed to God constantly. 3 One afternoon, about three o'clock, he distinctly saw in a vision an angel from God come to him, and call him by name.
4 Cornelius fixed his eyes on him and, in great alarm, said: "What is it, Lord?" "Your prayers and your charities," the angel answered, "have been an acceptable offering to God. 5 And now, send messengers to Jaffa and fetch a man called Simon, who is also known as Peter. 6 He is lodging with a tanner named Simon, who has a house near the sea."
7 When the angel, who had spoken to him, had gone, Cornelius called two menservants and a religious soldier, who was one of his constant attendants, 8 And, after telling them the whole story, sent them to Jaffa.
