Stand up.
I myself, also, am a man.
Thou went'st into men uncircumsised and
didst eat with them.
I was in the city of Joppa, praying.
And in a trance I saw a vision.
A certain vessel descended.
As it had been a great sheet let down from
heaven by four corners.
Upon the which, when I had fastened mine eyes, I
considered and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild
beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
And I heard a voice saying unto me, "Arise, Peter, slay,
and eat." But I said, "Not so, Lord.
For nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into
my mouth." But the voice answered me again from heaven,
"What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common."
This was done three times.
And all were drawn up again into heaven.
And behold, immediately there were three men already come
into the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.
And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting.
Moreover, these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered
into the man's house.
Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that
is a Jew to keep company or come unto
one of another nation.
But God has showed me that I should not call any man common
on unclean.
Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as
I was sent for.
I ask, therefore, for what intent ye have sent for me?
Four days ago I was fasting until this hour.
And at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house.
And behold, a man stood before me in a bright clothing and
said, "Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are
had in remembrance in the sight of God.
Send, therefore, to Joppa and call hither Simon, whose
surname is Peter.
He's lodged in the house one Simon, a tanner, by the
seaside, who when commeth shall speak unto thee."
Immediately, therefore, I sent today.
Now, therefore, we are all here, present before God, to
hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of
persons, but in every nation, he that feareth Him, and
worketh righteousness is accepted with Him.
The word, which God sent unto the children of Israel,
preaching peace by Jesus Christ.
He is Lord of all.
That word I say ye know, which was published throughout all
Judea, and began from Galilee, after the
baptism which John preached.
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost,
and with power.
Who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed
of the devil.
For God was with Him.
And we witness this, of all things which He did, both in
the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they slew and
hanged on a tree.
Him God raised up the third day and showed Him openly, not
to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before of
God, even unto us, who did eat and drink with Him after He
rose from the dead.
And He commanded us to preach unto the people, and to
testify that it is He which was ordained of God to be the
judge of quick and dead.
To Him give all the prophets witness.
That through His name, whosoever believeth in Him
shall receive remission of sins.
Can any man forbid water that these should not be baptised,
which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
The word of the Lord, how that He said, "John, indeed,
baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the
Holy Ghost." For as much then as God gave them the like
gift, as He did unto us who did believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ.
what was I, that I could withstand God?
Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted
repentance unto life.
