CORNELIUS’S VISION

10 There was a man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment.n 2 He was a devout man and feared God along with his whole household. He did many charitable deeds for the Jewish people and always prayed to God.o 3 About three in the afternoonB he distinctly saw in a vision an angel of God who came in and said to him, “Cornelius.”p

4 Staring at him in awe, he said, “What is it, Lord?”

The angel told him, “Your prayers and your acts of charity have ascended as a memorial offering before God.q 5 Now send men to Joppa and call for Simon, who is also named Peter. 6 He is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.”r

7 When the angel who spoke to him had gone, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier, who was one of those who attended him. 8 After explaining everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
