10:3
vidit in visu manifeste quasi hora nona diei angelum Deiintroeuntem ad se et dicentem sibi Corneli

10:4
at ille intuens eum timore correptus dixit quid est dominedixit autem illi orationes tuae et elemosynae tuae ascenderuntin memoriam in conspectu Dei

10:7
et cum discessisset angelus qui loquebatur illi vocavitduos domesticos suos et militem metuentem Dominum ex his quiilli parebant

10:8
quibus cum narrasset omnia misit illos in Ioppen

10:9
postera autem die iter illis facientibus etadpropinquantibus civitati ascendit Petrus in superiora utoraret circa horam sextam

10:10
et cum esuriret voluit gustare parantibus autem eiscecidit super eum mentis excessus

10:11
et videt caelum apertum et descendens vas quoddam velutlinteum magnum quattuor initiis submitti de caelo in terram

10:12
in quo erant omnia quadrupedia et serpentia terrae etvolatilia caeli

10:13
et facta est vox ad eum surge Petre et occide et manduca

10:14
ait autem Petrus absit Domine quia numquam manducavi omnecommune et inmundum

10:15
et vox iterum secundo ad eum quae Deus purificavit ne tucommune dixeris

10:16
hoc autem factum est per ter et statim receptum est vas incaelum

10:17
et dum intra se haesitaret Petrus quidnam esset visio quamvidisset ecce viri qui missi erant a Cornelio inquirentes domumSimonis adstiterunt ad ianuam

10:18
et cum vocassent interrogabant si Simon qui cognominaturPetrus illic haberet hospitium

10:19
Petro autem cogitante de visione dixit Spiritus ei ecceviri tres quaerunt te

10:20
surge itaque et descende et vade cum eis nihil dubitansquia ego misi illos

10:21
descendens autem Petrus ad viros dixit ecce ego sum quemquaeritis quae causa est propter quam venistis

10:22
qui dixerunt Cornelius centurio vir iustus et timens Deumet testimonium habens ab universa gente Iudaeorum responsumaccepit ab angelo sancto accersire te in domum suam et audireverba abs te

10:23

10:25
et factum est cum introisset Petrus obvius ei Cornelius etprocidens ad pedes adoravit

10:26
Petrus vero levavit eum dicens surge et ego ipse homo sum

10:27

10:29
propter quod sine dubitatione veni accersitus interrogoergo quam ob causam accersistis me

10:30
et Cornelius ait a nudius quartana die usque in hanc horamorans eram hora nona in domo mea et ecce vir stetit ante me investe candida et ait

010:001
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,

010:002
A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.

010:003
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.

010:004
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.

010:005
And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:

010:006
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.

010:007
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;

010:008
And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.

010:009
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:

010:010
And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

010:011
And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

010:012
Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

010:013
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

010:014
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

010:015
And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

010:016
This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

010:017
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 enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,

010:018
And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

010:019
While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.

010:020
Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.

010:021
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?

010:022
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.

010:023
Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

010:024
And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and near friends.

010:025
And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.

010:026
But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

010:027
And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

010:028
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 shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

010:029
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?

010:030
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,

010:031
And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

010:032
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.

010:033
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.

010:034
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

010:035
But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

010:036
The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

010:037
That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

010:038
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.

010:039
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:

010:040
Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;

010:041
Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

010:042
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.

010:043
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

010:044
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

010:045
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.

010:046
For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

010:047
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

010:048
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
