Acts 10:30–43

³⁰And Cornelius said, Four days ago I had been fasting unto this hour, and the ninth I was praying in my house, and lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing, ³¹and said, Cornelius, thy prayer has been heard, and thy alms have come in remembrance before God. ³²Send therefore to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea who when he is come will speak to thee. ³³Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and thou hast well done in coming. Now therefore we are all present before God to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.

³⁴And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons, ³⁵but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him. ³⁶The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all things,) ³⁷ye know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached— ³⁸Jesus who was of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power; who went through all quarters doing good, and healing all that were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. ³⁹We also are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew, having hanged him on a cross. ⁴⁰This man God raised up the third day and gave him to be openly seen, ⁴¹not of all the people, but of witnesses who were chosen before of God, us who have eaten and drunk with him after he arose from among the dead. ⁴²And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that he it is who was determinately appointed of God to be judge of living and dead. ⁴³To him all the prophets bear witness that every one that believes on him will receive through his name remission of sins.
