Acts 10:25-43 - Peter Visits Cornelius
25 And when it came about for Peter to enter, Cornelius, having met him, after falling down at his feet, worshiped.
26 But Peter lifted him up, saying, Stand up. I am also myself a man. 27 And as he conversed with him, he went in and found many who came together. 28 And he said to them, Ye understand how it is unlawful for a Jewish man to fraternize or to visit with a foreign man, and yet God demonstrated to me not to call one man profane or unclean. 29 And so I came without objection when summoned. I ask therefore for what matter ye summoned me.
30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour, and the ninth hour praying in my house. And behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel. 31 And he says, Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thy charities are remembered before God. 32 Send therefore to Joppa, and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. This man lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, beside the sea, who, after coming, will speak to thee. 33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and thou did well having come. Now therefore we are all present in the sight of God, to hear all the things commanded thee by God.
34 And having opened his mouth, Peter said, In truth, I am overwhelmed that God is not partial, 35 but in every nation, he who fears him, and works righteousness, is acceptable to him. 36 The word that he sent forth to the sons of Israel, preaching good-news, peace by Jesus Christ (this man is Lord of all), 37 ye know, the word having occurred throughout the whole of Judea beginning from Galilee after the immersion that John preached-- 38 Jesus of Nazareth--how God anointed him with Holy Spirit and with power, who passed through doing good, and healing all those who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with him. 39 And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem, whom also they killed, having hung on a tree. 40 This man God raised up the third day, and granted him to become manifest, 41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were previously chosen by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he arose from the dead. 42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to solemnly testify that this is the man designated by God, Judge of the living and the dead. 43 To this man all the prophets testify, that every man who believes in him, to receive remission of sins through his name.
