Acts 10:25-43 - Peter Visits Cornelius
25 And when it came to pass that Peter was coming in, Cornelius meeting him, falling down at his feet, worshiped.
26 And Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I also am a man. 27 And conversing with him, he came in, and finds many having come together; 28 and he said to them, You know how it is an unlawful thing for a Jewish man to associate with, or come to one of another nation; and God has shown me not to call any man unconsecrated or unclean. 29 Therefore indeed, being sent for, I came unhesitatingly. Then I make inquiry for what word did you send for me?
30 And Cornelius said, From the fourth day until this hour, indeed the ninth, I was praying in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in shining apparel, 31 and says, Cornelius, thy prayer has been heard, and thine alms have been remembered before God. 32 Therefore send to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is called Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon the tanner by the sea. 33 Then I immediately sent for thee; and thou hast done well being present. Now therefore we are all present before God, to hear all things which have been commanded thee of the Lord.
34 And Peter, opening his mouth, said, In truth I apprehend that God is no respecter of persons: 35 but in every nation the one fearing him, and working righteousness, is acceptable to him; 36 the word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ: he is Lord of all. 37 This word you know, which was throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; 38 Jesus, the one from Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Ghost and power: who went about doing good, and healing all oppressed by the devil: because God is with Him. 39 And we are witnesses in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they even slew, hanging him on the wood. 40 God raised him on the third day, and gave him to be made manifest; 41 not to all the people, but to the witnesses having been chosen of God, to us, who ate and drank along with him after He arose from the dead: 42 and He commanded us to preach to the people, and to witness that He is the One ordained of God the Judge of the living and the dead. 43 And to Him give all the prophets witness, that every one believing on him receives the remission of sins through His name.
