    2He was a devout, God-fearing man, as was all his household; he did many acts of charity for the people and prayed to God regularly.

    3About three o’clock one afternoon he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God who came in and said to him,“Cornelius.”

    4Staring at him and becoming greatly afraid, Cornelius replied,“What is it, Lord?” The angel said to him,“Your prayers and your acts of charity have gone up as a memorial before God.

    16This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into heaven.

    17Now while Peter was puzzling over what the vision he had seen could signify, the men sent by Cornelius had learned where Simon’s house was and approached the gate.

    18They called out to ask if Simon, known as Peter, was staying there as a guest.

    19While Peter was still thinking seriously about the vision, the Spirit said to him,“Look! Three men are looking for you.

    20But get up, go down, and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”

    21So Peter went down to the men and said,“Here I am, the person you’re looking for. Why have you come?”

    22They said,“Cornelius the centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man, well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear a message from you.”

    23So Peter invited them in and entertained them as guests.On the next day he got up and set out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.

    24The following day he entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting anxiously for them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

    25So when Peter came in, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him.

    26But Peter helped him up, saying,“Stand up. I too am a mere mortal.”

    27Peter continued talking with him as he went in, and he found many people gathered together.

    28He said to them,“You know that it is unlawful for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile, yet God has shown me that I should call no person defiled or ritually unclean.

    29Therefore when you sent for me, I came without any objection. Now may I ask why you sent for me?”

    30Cornelius replied,“Four days ago at this very hour, at three o’clock in the afternoon, I was praying in my house, and suddenly a man in shining clothing stood before me

    31and said,‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your acts of charity have been remembered before God.

    32Therefore send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter. This man is staying as a guest in the house of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’

    33Therefore I sent for you at once, and you were kind enough to come. So now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to say to us.”

    34Then Peter started speaking:“I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism in dealing with people,

    35but in every nation the person who fears him and does what is right is welcomed before him.
