CORNELIUS, CENTURION
ACTS 10
1 In Caesarea, there was a man named Cornelius, the centurion of a band of soldiers called the Italian Detachment,
2 a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave many alms to the people and continually prayed to God. 3
3 About the ninth hour of the day, he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius.”
3 About the ninth hour of the day, he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius.”
4 When he looked at him he was afraid, and said, “What is it, Lord?”
He said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up as a memorial before God.
5 Now send men to Joppa, and bring back Simon whose surname is Peter.
6 He is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. He will tell you what you must do.”
17 Now while Peter wondered what this vision which he had seen might mean, the men who were sent by Cornelius had inquired for Simon’s house and stood at the gate, 18 and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was lodging there.
19 While Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Three men are looking for you. 20 So rise and go down, and go with them, doubting nothing. For I have sent them.”
21 Then Peter went down to the men who were sent to him by Cornelius and said, “Here I am, the one you are seeking. Why have you come?”
22 They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a man who is righteous and fears God and is of good report throughout the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house to hear your words.”
23 Then he invited them in and gave them lodging.
34 Then Peter began to speak, saying, “Truthfully, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons.
35 But in every nation, he who fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
45 All the believers of the circumcision who had come with Peter were astonished because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.
46 For they heard them speaking in other tongues and magnifying God.
