10 Now a certain man was in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion from the regiment called Italian, 2 devout and fearing God with all his household, making many gifts of alms to the people and praying to God through all. 3 About the ninth hour of the day, he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, “Cornelius!” 4 But he, staring at him and having become terrified, said, “What is it, lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have gone up for a memorial offering before God. 5 And now, send men to Joppa and summon a certain Simon who is called Peter. 6 He is being hosted by a certain Simon, a tanner, to whom is a house by the sea.” 7 And when the angel speaking to him left, calling two of his house servants and a devout soldier of the ones serving him, 8 and having told them everything, he sent them to Joppa.

9 And on the next day, as those were traveling and approaching the city, Peter went up to the housetop to pray at about the sixth hour. 10 And he became hungry and was wanting to eat, but while they were preparing, a vision came upon him, 11 and he sees the sky opened and a certain container, like a large sheet, descending, being let down by its four corners to the earth, 12 in which were all the four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth and birds of the sky. 13 And a voice came to him: “Peter, arising, kill and eat.” 14 But Peter said, “Not at all, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common and unclean.” 15 And the voice came to him again, for a second time: “What God has cleansed, you, do not make common.” 16 And this happened three times, and the container was immediately taken back up to the sky.

17 And while Peter was doubting within himself what the vision that he had seen might mean, behold, the men sent by Cornelius, having found by inquiry the house of Simon, stood before the gate. 18 And calling out, they were asking whether Simon, called Peter, was being hosted there. 19 And while Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are seeking you.[fn] 20 But arising, go down and go with them, not hesitating, because I have sent them.” 21 So Peter, having gone down to the men, said, “Behold, I am he whom you are seeking. What is the reason for which you are here?” 22 And they said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God and attested by the whole nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear words from you.” 23 Therefore, having invited them, he hosted them.

And on the next day, arising, he went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him. 24 And on the next day they came to Caesarea. And Cornelius was awaiting them, having called together his relatives and close friends. 25 And it happened that as Peter entered, Cornelius, meeting him and falling down at his feet, worshiped him. 26 But Peter lifted him up, saying, “Arise! I too am a man myself.” 27 And talking with him, he went in and finds many gathered together. 28 And he was saying to them, “You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to associate or to visit with a foreigner, but God has shown me not to call any man common or unclean. 29 And therefore, having been summoned, I came without objection. Therefore I ask you, for what reason did you summon me?” 30 And Cornelius was saying, “Four days ago, at this hour, I was praying at the ninth hour in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, 31 and he says, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your alms have been remembered before God. 32 Therefore, send to Joppa and summon Simon who is called Peter. He is being hosted in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.’[fn] 33 So immediately I sent for you, and you did well in coming. Now therefore, we are all here before God to hear all the things you have been instructed by the Lord to say.”[fn] 34 And opening his mouth, Peter said, “In truth, I perceive that God is not a favoritism-shower. 35 Instead, in every nation the one fearing him and working righteousness is acceptable to him. 36 The word that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming peace through Jesus Christ—he is the Lord of all— 37 you know the word having happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism that John announced; 38 Jesus, the one from Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all the ones being oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. 39 And we are witnesses of all that he did, both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree. 40 God raised this one up on the third day and caused him to be seen, 41 not by all the people, but by witnesses chosen beforehand by God—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he commanded us to announce to the people and to testify that he is the one chosen by God as a Judge of the living and the dead. 43 To this one all the prophets bear witness, that everyone believing in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

44 While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all the ones listening to his word. 45 And the faithful from the circumcision—as many as had come with Peter—marveled, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out also on the Gentiles. 46 For they heard them speaking in languages and praising God. Then Peter responded, 47 “No one is able to withhold water, is he, so that these are not baptized who have received the Holy Spirit as we also did?” 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for several days.

Some ancient copies read two men are looking for you or some men are looking for you.

Some ancient copies add When he comes, he will speak to you.

Instead of instructed by the Lord, some ancient copies read instructed by God to say.
