Now may I ask why you sent for me? 30 Cornelius replied, 'Four days ago at this very hour, I was fasting and praying in my house at three in the afternoon, and suddenly a man in shining clothes stood before me. 31 He said, 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your acts of charity have been remembered before God. 32 Send someone to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter.
