10:3. This man saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the
day, an angel of God coming in unto him and saying to him: Cornelius.
10:4. And he, beholding him, being seized with fear, said: What is it,
Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a
memorial in the sight of God.
10:5. And now send men to Joppe: and call hither one Simon, who is
surnamed Peter.
10:6. He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea
side. He will tell thee what thou must do.
10:7. And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of
his household servants and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that
were under him.
10:8. To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.
10:9. And on the next day, whilst they were going on their journey and
drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up to the higher parts of the house
to pray, about the sixth hour.
10:10. And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they
were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.
10:11. And he saw the heaven opened and a certain vessel descending, as
it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to
the earth:
10:12. Wherein were all manner of four-footed beasts and creeping things
of the earth and fowls of the air.
10:13. And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter. Kill and eat.
10:14. But Peter said: Far be it from me. For I never did eat any thing
that is common and unclean.
10:15. And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God
hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
10:16. And this was done thrice. And presently the vessel was taken up
into heaven.
10:17. Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself what the vision
that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from
Cornelius, inquiring for Simon's house, stood at the gate.
10:18. And when they had called, they asked if Simon, who is surnamed
Peter, were lodged there.
10:19. And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him:
Behold three men seek thee.
10:20. Arise, therefore: get thee down and go with them, doubting
nothing: for I have sent them.
10:21. Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you
seek. What is the cause for which you are come?
10:22. Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man and one that feareth
God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received
an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house And to hear
words of thee.
10:23. Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following, he
arose and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe
accompanied him.
10:24. And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius
waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.
10:25. And it came to pass that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came
to meet him and falling at his feet adored.
10:26. But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise: I myself also am a man.
10:27. And talking with him, he went in and found many that were come
together.
