44:010:024 And the morrow after they entered into
Caesarea. And Cornelius
waited
for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and
near
friends.
44:010:025 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met
him, and fell down
at
his feet, and worshipped him.
44:010:026 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up;
I myself also am a
man.
44:010:027 And as he talked with him, he went in,
and found many that
were
come together.
44:010:028 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.
44:010:029 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?
44:010:030 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,
44:010:031 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard,
and thine alms are
had
in remembrance in the sight of God.
44:010:032 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.
44:010:033 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.
44:010:034 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said,
Of a truth I perceive
that
God is no respecter of persons:
44:010:035 But in every nation he that feareth him,
and worketh
righteousness,
is accepted with him.
44:010:036 The word which God sent unto the children
of Israel, preaching
peace
by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
44:010:037 That word, I say, ye know, which was published
throughout all
Judaea,
and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John
preached;
44:010:038 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.
44:010:039 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:
44:010:040 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
44:010:041 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.
