    1Peter Visits Cornelius Now there was a man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort.

    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.”

    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.
