Acts 10:25-43 - Peter Visits Cornelius
25 And as it chanced Peter to come in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
26 But Peter took him up, saying, "Stand Up: for even I myself am a man." 27 And as he talked with him, he came in, and found many that were come together. 28 And he said unto them, "Ye do know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to company or come unto an alien: But God hath showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean: 29 therefore came I unto you without saying nay, as soon as I was sent for. I ask therefore: for what intent have ye sent for me?"
30 And Cornelius said, "This day now four days I fasted, and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, 31 and said, 'Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms deeds are had in remembrance in the sight of God. 32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call for Simon, which is also called Peter. He is lodged in the house of one Simon, a tanner, by the seaside: the which as soon as he is come, shall speak unto thee.' 33 Then sent I for thee immediately, and thou hast well done for to come. Now are we all here, present before God to hear all things that are commanded unto thee of God."
34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, "Of a truth I perceive, that God is not partial: 35 but in all people, he that feareth him and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. 36 Ye know the preaching that God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, which is Lord over all things; 37 which preaching was published throughout all Jewry, and began in Galilee, after the baptism preached by John; 38 How God had anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy ghost, and with power; which Jesus went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devils, for God was with him. 39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did in the land of the Jews and at Jerusalem: whom they slew, and hung on tree. 40 Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly, 41 not to all the people, but unto us witnesses chosen before of God, which ate and drank with him, after he arose from death. 42 And he commanded unto us to preach unto the people and testify, that it is he that is ordained of God, a judge of quick and dead. 43 To him giveth all the prophets witness, that through his name all that believe in him shall receive remission of sins."
