48 So he ordered that they be
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them
for a few days. (3)
43 All
the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives
forgiveness of sins through His name.”
(7)
44 While Peter was
still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message.
45 The circumcised believers who
had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been
poured out even on Gentiles.
369
34 Then
Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show
favoritism (7)
35 but accepts from every nation
the one who fears Him and does what is right.
36 You know the
message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace
through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of
all.
369
25 As
Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence. (7)
26 But Peter made him
get up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”
27 While talking with
him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people.
369
16 This
happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.
(7)
17 While Peter was
wondering about the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius
found out where Simon’s house was and stopped at the gate.
18 They called out,
asking if Simon who was known as Peter was staying there.
369
7 When
the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a
devout soldier who was one of his attendants. (7)
8 He told
them everything that had happened and sent them to Joppa.
Peter’s Vision
9 About noon the
following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter
went up on the roof to pray.
369
40 but God raised Him from the dead
on the third day and caused Him to be seen. (4)
41 He was not seen by all the
people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate and drank
with Him after He rose from the dead.
42 He commanded us to preach to the
people and to testify that He is the One whom God appointed as judge of the
living and the dead.
369
31 and
said, ‘Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and remembered your gifts to the
poor. (4)
32 Send to Joppa for Simon
who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, who lives
by the sea.’
33 So I sent for you
immediately, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here in the
presence of God to listen to everything
the Lord has commanded you to tell us.”
369
22 The
men replied, “We have come from Cornelius the centurion. He is a righteous and
God-fearing man, who is respected by all the Jewish people. A holy angel told
him to ask you to come to his house so that he could hear what you have to say.” (4)
23 Then Peter invited
the men into the house to be his guests.
Peter at
Cornelius’s House
The
next day Peter started out with them, and some of the believers from Joppa went
along.
24 The following day
he arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together
his relatives and close friends.
369
13 Then
a voice told him, “Get up, Peter.
Kill and eat.” (4)
14 “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or
unclean.”
15 The voice spoke to
him a second time, “Do not call
anything impure that God has made clean.”
369
4 Cornelius
stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked. The angel answered, “Your
prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God. (4)
5 Now send men to
Joppa to bring back a man named Simon
who is called Peter.
6 He is staying with
Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
369
46 For
they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter
said,
(1)
47 “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with
water.
They have received
the Holy Spirit just as we have.”
258
37 You
know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee
after the baptism that John preached—
(1)
38 how God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how He went around doing good and
healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with Him.
39 “We are witnesses
of everything He did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed Him by hanging Him
on a cross,
138
28 He
said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to
associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone
impure or unclean. (1)
29 So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection.
May I ask why you sent for me?”
30 Cornelius answered: “Three days
ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly
a man in shining clothes stood before me
138
19 While
Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit
said to him, “Simon, three
men are looking for you.
(1)
20 So get up and go
downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.”
21 Peter went down and
said to the men, “I’m the one
you’re looking for. Why have you come?”
138
10 He
became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being
prepared, he fell into a trance.
(1)
11 He saw heaven
opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four
corners.
12 It contained all kinds of
four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds.

Cornelius Calls for
Peter
10 At Caesarea there
was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. (1)
2 He and all his
family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and
prayed to God regularly.
3 One day at about three in the
afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God, who came to him
and said, “Cornelius!”
