Acts 10:25–35
25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell at his feet and 1aworshiped him.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, “aStand up; I too am just a man.”
27 As he talked with him, he entered and * found amany people assembled.
28 And he said to them, “You yourselves know how aunlawful it is for a man who is a Jew to associate with a foreigner or to visit him; and yet bGod has shown me that I should not call any man 1unholy or unclean.
29 “That is why I came without even raising any objection when I was sent for. So I ask for what reason you have sent for me.”
30 Cornelius said, “aFour days ago to this hour, I was praying in my house during bthe 1ninth hour; and behold, ca man stood before me in shining garments,
31 and he * said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your 1alms have been remembered before God.
32 ‘Therefore send to aJoppa and invite Simon, who is also called Peter, to come to you; he is staying at the house of Simon the tanner by the sea.’
33 “So I sent for you immediately, and you have 1been kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here present before God to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord.”
34 aOpening his mouth, Peter said:
“I most certainly understand now that bGod is not one to show partiality,
35 but ain every nation the man who 1bfears Him and 2does what is right is welcome to Him.

| * | A star (*) is used to mark verbs that are historical presents in the Greek which have been translated with an English past tense in order to conform to modern usage. The translators recognized that in some contexts the present tense seems more unexpected and unjustified to the English reader than a past tense would have been. But Greek authors frequently used the present tense for the sake of heightened vividness, thereby transporting their readers in imagination to the actual scene at the time of occurence. However, the translators felt that it would be wise to change these historical presents to English past tenses. |
