    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.”

    14But Peter said,“Certainly not, Lord, for I have never eaten anything defiled and ritually unclean!”
