44_ACT_10_01 there was A certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius , A centurion of the band called the Italian [ band ] ,
44_ACT_10_02 [ A ] devout [ man ] , And one that feared God with all his house , which gave much alms to the people , And prayed to God alway .
44_ACT_10_03 he saw in A vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him , And saying unto him , Cornelius .
44_ACT_10_04 And when he looked on him , he was afraid , And said , what Is it , LORD ? And he said unto him , thy prayers And thine alms are come up for A memorial before God .
44_ACT_10_05 And now send men to Joppa , And call for [ one ] Simon , whose surname Is Peter :
44_ACT_10_06 he lodgeth with one Simon A tanner , whose house Is by the sea side : he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do .
44_ACT_10_07 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed , he called two of his household servants , And A devout soldier of them that waited on him continually ;
44_ACT_10_08 And when he had declared all [ These ] things unto them , he sent them to Joppa .
44_ACT_10_09 on the morrow , as they went on their journey , And drew nigh unto the city , Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour :
44_ACT_10_10 And he became very hungry , And would have eaten : but while they made ready , he fell into A trance ,
44_ACT_10_11 And saw heaven opened , And A certain vessel descending unto him , as it had been A great sheet knit at the four corners , And let down to the earth :
44_ACT_10_12 wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth , And wild beasts , And creeping things , And fowls of the air .
44_ACT_10_13 And there came A voice to him , rise , Peter ; kill , And eat .
44_ACT_10_14 but Peter said , not So , LORD ; for I have never eaten any thing that Is common or unclean .
44_ACT_10_15 And the voice [ spake ] unto him again the second time , what God hath cleansed , [ that ] call not thou common .
44_ACT_10_16 this was done thrice : And the vessel was received up again into heaven .
44_ACT_10_17 now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean , behold , the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house , And stood before the gate ,
44_ACT_10_18 And called , And asked whether Simon , which was surnamed Peter , were lodged there .
44_ACT_10_19 while Peter thought on the vision , the spirit said unto him , behold , three men seek thee .
44_ACT_10_20 Arise therefore , And get thee down , And go with them , doubting nothing : for I have sent them .
44_ACT_10_21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius ; And said , behold , I am he whom ye seek : what [ Is ] the cause Wherefore ye are come ?
44_ACT_10_22 And they said , Cornelius the centurion , A just man , And one that feareth God , And of good report among all the nation of the Jews , was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house , And to hear words of thee .
44_ACT_10_23 Then called he them in , And lodged [ them ] . And on the morrow Peter went away with them , And certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him .
44_ACT_10_24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea . And Cornelius waited for them , And had called together his kinsmen And near friends .
44_ACT_10_25 And as Peter was coming in , Cornelius met him , And fell down at his feet , And worshipped [ him ] .
44_ACT_10_26 but Peter took him up , saying , stand up ; I myself also am A man .
44_ACT_10_27 And as he talked with him , he went in , And found Many that were come together .
44_ACT_10_28 And he said unto them , ye know how that it Is an unlawful thing for A man that Is A Jew to keep company , or come unto one of another nation ; but God hath showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean .
44_ACT_10_29 therefore came I [ unto you ] without gainsaying , as soon as I was sent for : I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me ?
44_ACT_10_30 And Cornelius said , four days ago I was fasting until this hour ; And at the ninth hour I prayed in my house , And , behold , A man stood before me in bright clothing ,
44_ACT_10_31 And said , Cornelius , thy prayer Is heard , And thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God .
44_ACT_10_32 send therefore to Joppa , And call hither Simon , whose surname Is Peter ; he Is lodged in the house of [ one ] Simon A tanner by the sea side : who , when he cometh , shall speak unto thee .
44_ACT_10_33 immediately therefore I sent to thee ; And thou hast Well done that thou art come . now therefore are we all here present before God , to hear all things that are commanded thee of God .
44_ACT_10_34 Then Peter opened [ his ] mouth , And said , of A truth I perceive that God Is no respecter of persons :
44_ACT_10_35 but in every nation he that feareth him , And worketh righteousness , Is accepted with him .
44_ACT_10_36 the word which [ God ] sent unto the children of Israel , preaching peace by Jesus Christ : [ he Is LORD of all : ]
44_ACT_10_37 that word , [ I say ] , ye know , which was published throughout all Judaea , And began from Galilee , after the baptism which John preached ;
44_ACT_10_38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy Ghost And with power : who went about doing good , And healing all that were oppressed of the devil ; for God was with him .
44_ACT_10_39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did Both in the land of the Jews , And in Jerusalem ; whom they slew And hanged on A tree :
44_ACT_10_40 him God raised up the third day , And showed him openly ;
44_ACT_10_41 not to all the people , but unto witnesses chosen before of God , [ even ] to us , who did eat And drink with him after he rose from the dead .
44_ACT_10_42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people , And to testify that it Is he which was ordained of God [ to be ] the judge of quick And dead .
44_ACT_10_43 to him give all the prophets witness , that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins .
44_ACT_10_44 while Peter yet spake These words , the holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word .
44_ACT_10_45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished , as Many as came with Peter , because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the holy Ghost .
44_ACT_10_46 for they heard them speak with tongues , And magnify God . Then answered Peter ,
44_ACT_10_47 can any man forbid water , that These should not be baptized , which have received the holy Ghost as Well as we ?
44_ACT_10_48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the LORD . Then prayed they him to tarry certain days .
