1And there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of that which is called the Italian band:

1But a certain man in Caesarea, — by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italic,

2A religious man, and fearing God with all his house, giving much alms to the people and always praying to God.

2pious, and fearingGod with all his house, [both] giving much alms to the people, and supplicatingGod continually,

3This 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.

3— saw plainly in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel ofGod coming unto him, and saying to him, Cornelius.

4And 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.

4But he, having fixed his eyes upon him, and become full of fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thine alms have gone up for a memorial beforeGod.

5And now send men to Joppe: and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter.

5And now send men to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter.

6He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.

6He lodges with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.

7And 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.

7And when the angel who was speaking to him had departed, having called two of his household and a pious soldier of those who were constantly with him,

8To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.

8and related all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.

9And 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.

9And on the morrow, as these were journeying and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house to pray, about the sixth hour.

10And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.

10And he became hungry and desired to eat. But as they were making ready an ecstasy came upon him:

11And 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:

11and he beholds the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as a great sheet, [bound] by [the] four corners [and] let down to the earth;

12Wherein were all manner of four-footed beasts and creeping things of the earth and fowls of the air.

12in which were all the quadrupeds and creeping things of the earth, and the fowls of the heaven.

13And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter. Kill and eat.

13And there was a voice to him, Rise, Peter, slay and eat.

14But Peter said: Far be it from me. For I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.

14And Peter said, In no wise, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common or unclean.

15And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.

15And [there was] a voice again the second time to him, WhatGod has cleansed, do not thou make common.

16And this was done thrice. And presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.

16And this took place thrice, and the vessel was straightway taken up into heaven.

17Now, 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.

17And as Peter doubted in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold also the men who were sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate,

18And when they had called, they asked if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

18and having called [some one], they inquired if Simon who was surnamed Peter was lodged there.

19And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.

19But as Peter continued pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee;

20Arise, therefore: get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.

20but rise up, go down, and go with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them.

21Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek. What is the cause for which you are come?

21And Peter going down to the men said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye come?

22Who 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.

22And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearingGod, and borne witness to by the whole nation of the Jews, has been divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and hear words from thee.

23Then 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.

23Having therefore invited them in, he lodged them. And on the morrow, rising up he went away with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him.

24And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.

24And on the morrow they came to Caesarea. But Cornelius was looking for them, having called together his kinsmen and [his] intimate friends.

25And it came to pass that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him and falling at his feet adored.

25And when Peter was now coming in, Cornelius met him, and falling down did [him] homage.

26But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise: I myself also am a man.

26But Peter made him rise, saying, Rise up: I myself also am a man.

27And talking with him, he went in and found many that were come together.

27And he went in, talking with him, and found many gathered together.

28And he said to them: you know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean.

28And he said to them, Ye know how it is unlawful for a Jew to be joined or come to one of a strange race, and to meGod has shewn to call no man common or unclean.

29For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me?

29Wherefore also, having been sent for, I came without saying anything against it. I inquire therefore for what reason ye have sent for me.

30And Cornelius said: Four days ago, unto this hour, I was praying in my house, at the ninth hour and behold a man stood before me in white apparel and said:

30And Cornelius said, Four days ago I had been [fasting] unto this hour, and the ninth [I was] praying in my house, and lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

31Cornelius, thy prayer is heard and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

31and said, Cornelius, thy prayer has been heard, and thy alms have come in remembrance beforeGod.

32Send therefore to Joppe: and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter. He lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.

32Send therefore to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea [who when he is come will speak to thee].

33Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now, therefore, all we are present in thy sight to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord.

33Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and thou hast well done in coming. Now therefore we are all present beforeGod to hear all things that are commanded thee ofGod.

34And Peter opening his mouth, said: in very deed I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons.

34And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive thatGod is no respecter of persons,

35But in every nation, he that feareth him and worketh justice is acceptable to him.

35but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

36God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all).

36The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all things,)

37You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached.

37ye know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached —

38Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost and with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

39And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem: whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree.

39We also [are] witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew, having hanged him on a cross.

40Him God raised up the third day and gave him to be made manifest,

40This [man]God raised up the third day and gave him to be openly seen,

41Not to all the people, but to witnesses preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him, after he arose again from the dead.

41not of all the people, but of witnesses who were chosen before ofGod, us who have eaten and drunk with him after he arose from among [the] dead.

42And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God to be judge of the living and of the dead.

44While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word.

44While Peter was yet speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were hearing the word.

45And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also.

45And the faithful of the circumcision were astonished, as many as came with Peter, that upon the nations also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out:

46For they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.

46for they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifyingGod. Then Peter answered,

47Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we?

47Can any one forbid water that these should not be baptised, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also [did]?

48And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they desired him to tarry with them some days.

48And he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they begged him to stay some days.
