Acts 10:1-8

Peter and Cornelius

1 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of ^awhat was known as the Italian Cohort, 2 a devout man ^bwho feared God with all his household, gave alms generously to the people, and prayed continually to God. 3 ^cAbout the ninth hour of the day ^{▼▼That is, 3 p.m.} ^ehe saw clearly in a vision ^fan angel of God come in and say to him, “Cornelius.” 4 And he stared at him in terror and said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms ^ghave ascended ^has a memorial before God. 5 And now send men to Joppa and bring one Simon who is called Peter. 6 He is lodging ⁱwith one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.” 7 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who attended him, 8 and having related everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
