him ,
Rise
, Peter ;
kill
, and eat.
and there came a voice unto
him :
`Having
risen
, Peter, slay
and eat. '
But
Peter said, Not so, Lord; for
I have
never
eaten
any
thing
that
is
common or unclean .
And
Peter said, `
Not so, Lord; because
at
no
time
did
I eat
anything
common or unclean ;'
And the
voice spake
unto
him
again the
second time ,
What God hath
cleansed
, that
call
not thou common .
and `there
is'
a
voice again a
second time unto

and the vessel was
received up again
into
heaven.

Now
while
Peter doubted
in himself what this
vision which
he had
seen
should
mean
, behold
, the men which
were
sent from Cornelius had
made enquiry
for Simon's
house, and
stood before
the gate,
And
as
Peter was
perplexed
in himself what the
vision that
he saw
might
be
, then
, lo,
the men who
have
been
sent from Cornelius ,
having
made inquiry
for the
house of
Simon
, stood at
the gate,
And called, and
asked
whether
Simon, which
was
surnamed Peter, were
lodged
there.
and having
called, they
were
asking
if
Simon, who
is
surnamed Peter, doth
lodge
here?
While
Peter thought
on
the vision, the Spirit said unto
him, Behold
, three men seek thee .
And
Peter thinking
about
the vision, the Spirit said to
him, `Lo
, three men do
seek thee ;
Arise
therefore
, and
get
thee
down ,
and go with them, doubting
nothing :
for
I have sent them .
but
having
risen
, go
down and go on
with them, nothing doubting,
because
I have sent them ;'
Then
Peter went
down to
the men which
were
sent unto
him
from Cornelius ;
and
said, Behold
, I am he whom ye seek :
what is the cause wherefore
ye are come
?
and
Peter having
come
down unto
the men who
have
been
sent from Cornelius unto
him,
said, `Lo
, I am he whom ye seek ,
what `
is '
the cause for
which
ye are present
? '
And they said, Cornelius the
centurion, a just
man ,
and one
that
feareth
God, and
of
good
report
among
all the nation of the Jews, was warned from
God
by an
holy angel
to send for thee into
his house, and to hear words
of
thee.
And they said, `
Cornelius ,
a
centurion, a man righteous
and fearing
God, well
testified
to,
also,
by
all the nation of the Jews, was divinely
warned by a
holy messenger
to send for thee ,
to
his house, and to hear sayings
from
thee. '
Then
called he
them in, and
lodged them .
And on the morrow Peter went away
with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied
him .
Having
called them in, therefore,
he
lodged them ,
and on the morrow Peter went forth
with them, and certain of
the
brethren from Joppa went
with
him ,
And the morrow after
they entered
into Caesarea.
And Cornelius waited
for them, and
he
had
called together his kinsmen
and near friends .
and on
the morrow they did
enter
into Cesarea;
and Cornelius was
waiting
for them, having
called together his kindred
and near friends ,
And as Peter was
coming
in, Cornelius met him, and
fell
down
at his feet, and
worshipped
him .
and as it
came
that
Peter entered
in, Cornelius having
met him, having
fallen
at `
his '
feet, did
bow
before
`
him ';
But
Peter took
him up
, saying, Stand up; I myself
also am a man .
and
Peter raised
him, saying, `
Stand up; I also myself
am a man ;'
And as
he
talked
with him ,
he went in, and found
many that
were
come together.
and talking
with him he went in, and doth
find
many having
come together.
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 .
And he said unto them, `
Ye know how it is unlawful for a man ,
a Jew ,
to keep company with
, or to
come unto ,
one of another race,
but to
me God
did
shew
to
call no
man common or unclean ;
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?
therefore also
without gainsaying I came,
having
been
sent for ;
I ask ,
therefore ,
for what matter
ye did
send
for me? '
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,
And Cornelius said, `
Four days ago till
this
hour,
I was fasting ,
and `
at '
the ninth hour praying
in my house, and, lo
, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is
heard, and thine
alms
are
had
in
remembrance
in
the
sight
of
God .
and he
said, Cornelius, thy prayer was
heard, and thy
kind
acts
were
remembered
before
God ;
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 .
send ,
therefore ,
to Joppa, and call for
Simon, who
is surnamed
Peter; this
one
doth
lodge
in the house of Simon a tanner ,
by the sea, who
having
come
, shall speak to
thee ;
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.
at
once,
therefore ,
I sent to thee; thou also
didst
do
well ,
having
come ;
now ,
therefore ,
are we all before God present
to hear all things that have
been
commanded thee by
God. '
Then
Peter opened his mouth, and
said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons :
And
Peter having
opened his mouth, said, `
Of a truth ,
I perceive that God is no respecter of persons ,
But in every nation he that
feareth
him, and worketh
righteousness, is accepted
with
him .
but in every nation he who
is
fearing
Him, and is
working
righteousness, is acceptable
to
Him ;

God
sent unto
the children
of Israel, preaching
peace by
Jesus Christ :

is Lord of all :
)

he
sent to
the sons
of Israel, proclaiming
good
news
--
peace through
Jesus Christ ( this
one
is Lord of all ,
)
That
word,
I
say,
ye know,
which
was
published
throughout all Judaea
, and
began
from Galilee, after the baptism which
John preached;
ye --
ye
have
known;
--
the
word
that
came
throughout all Judea
, having
begun
from Galilee, after the baptism that
John preached;
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 .
Jesus who
`is'
from
Nazareth --
how
God
did
anoint
him
with the Holy Spirit
and power ;
who went through,
doing good, and healing all those
oppressed by
the devil ,
because
God was with him ;
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 :
and we --
we
are witnesses of all things that
he did ,
both in the country
of the Jews, and in Jerusalem ,
--
whom they did
slay,
having
hanged upon
a tree .
Him
God raised
up the third day, and shewed
him openly;
`This
one
God did
raise
up the third day, and gave
him to
become
manifest,
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 .
not to all the people, but to
witnesses ,
to
those
having
been
chosen before by
God --
to us who did eat with
`him',
and did
drink with him ,
after his
rising
out
of
the dead ;
And he commanded us to preach unto
the people, and to testify that it is he which
was
ordained of
God to
be
the
Judge of quick
and dead .
and he commanded us to preach to
the people, and to testify fully
that it is he who
hath
been
ordained by
God judge of living
and dead --
To him
give
all the prophets witness
, that through his name whosoever
believeth
in him shall
receive remission of sins.
to this
one
do
all the prophets testify
, that through his name every
one
that
is
believing
in him doth
receive remission of sins. '
While Peter yet spake
these words
, the Holy Ghost
fell on
all them
which
heard
the word .
While Peter is
yet speaking
these sayings
, the Holy spirit
fell upon
all those
hearing
the word ,
And they
of the circumcision which
believed
were astonished ,
as many as came with Peter ,
because that
on
the
Gentiles
also was
poured
out
the gift of the Holy Ghost.
and those
of the circumcision believing
were astonished --
as many as came with Peter --
because also upon
the nations
the
gift of the Holy Spirit
hath
been
poured
out,
For they heard
them speak
with tongues ,
and magnify
God. Then
answered
Peter,
for they were
hearing
them speaking
with tongues and magnifying
God.
Can
any man
forbid water
, that these should
not be baptized, which
have
received
the Holy Ghost
as
well
as we?
Then
answered
Peter,
`The
water
is
any one
able
to
forbid, that these may
not be baptized, who
the Holy Spirit
did
receive
--
even
as also
we? '
And
he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord .
Then prayed
they him to tarry
certain days.
he commanded them also
to be baptized in the name of the Lord ;
then they besought
him to remain
certain days.
