Acts 10:25-43 - Peter Visits Cornelius
25 And when it came to pass that Peter entered, Cornelius, meeting him, and falling at his feet, worshipped him.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, "Stand up! I myself also am a man." 27 And, while talking with him, he entered, and finds many who had come together; 28 and he says to them, "Ye know that it is unlawful for a Jew to join himself with, or come to, one of another race; and yet God showed me that I should call no man common or unclean. 29 Wherefore, also, having been sent for, I came without gainsaying. I ask, therefore, with what intent ye sent for me."
30 And Cornelius said, "Four days ago, until this hour, I was praying during the ninth hour in my house; and, behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel, 31 and says, 'Cornelius, your prayer was heard, and your alms were remembered before God. 32 Send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; the same is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.' 33 At once, therefore, I sent to you; and you did well, in coming. Now, therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things that have been commanded you by the Lord."
34 And Peter, opening his mouth, said, "Of a truth, I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons; 35 but, in every nation, he who fears Him, and works righteousness, is acceptable to Him. 36 He sent the word to the sons of Israel, proclaiming the glad tidings of peace through Jesus Christ, (He is Lord of all): 37 Ye know the word that came throughout all Judaea, after the immersion which John preached; even Jesus of Nazareth, 38 how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power; Who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the Devil; because God was with Him. 39 And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; Whom they also slew, hanging Him on a tree. 40 Him God raised on the third day, and gave Him to become manifest; 41 not to all the people, but to witnesses before appointed by God??o us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead. 42 And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to fully testify that it is He Who hath been ordained by God Judge of the living and dead. 43 To Him all the prophets testify, that through His Name every one who believes on Him receives remission of sins."
