Acts Chapter 10

            10^:1Now a-certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by-name, (a) centurion of (the) cohort [the] called Italian, ² devout and fearing [the] God with all the house of-him, doing many alms/gifts-of-mercy-to-needy-people and praying-to/asking-of [the] God through everything²/continually², ³ saw in (a) vision clearly/manifestly at-about/around² (the) ninth hour of-the day (an) angel of-[the] God having-come-inside to him and having-said to-him, “Cornelius.”

⁴ And the-one/he having-fixed-his-eyes-on him and having-become fearful, said, “What is-it, sir?”

And he-said to-him, “The prayers of-you and the alms of-you came-up for (a) memorial before [the] God. ⁵ And now send men to Joppa and summon a-certain Simon who is-called Peter. ⁶ This-one is-lodging with a-certain Simon, (a) tanner, (a) house to-whom is beside (the) sea.”

⁷ And when the angel the-one speaking to-him went-away, having-called two of-the domestic-servants and (a) devout soldier of-the-ones being-in-close-company-with him; ⁸ and having-explained all-things to-them, he-sent them to [the] Joppa.

            ⁹ And on-the next-day, those traveling-on-the road and nearing the city, Peter went-up on the housetop to-pray about (the) sixth hour. ¹⁰ And he-became hungry and was-wanting to-taste (something). And they making-preparation, (a) trance came on him, ¹¹ and he-sees the sky opened and (a) container like (a) large piece-of-linen-cloth being-let-down to the earth by four corners, 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, “Get-up, Peter; kill and eat.”

¹⁴ And Peter said, “Not-at-all, sir; because I┘never└ate anything common or unclean.”

¹⁵ And (a) voice (came) again from (a) second (time) to him, “What-things [the] God cleansed, do┘not you└consider common.”

¹⁶ And this-thing happened up-to three (times) and immediately the container was-taken-back/up into the sky.

            ¹⁷ And while [the] Peter was-wondering in himself what the vision would be that he-saw, behold, the men [the-ones] having-been-sent by [the] Cornelius, having-asked-around-for the house of-[the] Simon, stood at the gate, ¹⁸ and having-called-out were-asking whether Simon [the-one] called Peter was-lodging there.

¹⁹ And [the] Peter trying-to-understand about the vision, the Spirit said to-him, “Behold, three men are-seeking you. ²⁰ But having-gotten-up, go-down and travel with them, doubting nothing because I have-sent them.”

²¹ And Peter having-gone-down to the men, said, “Behold, I am whom you-seek. What is the matter on-account-of which you-are-present?”

²² And the-ones/they said, “Cornelius (a) centurion, (a) righteous man and one-fearing [the] God, and testified-to by the whole nation of-the Jews, was-instructed by (a) holy angel to-summon you to the house of-him and to-hear words from you.”

²³ So having-invited┘them└in, he-entertained (them).

And on-the next-day, having-arisen, he-went-out with them and some of-the brothers [the] from Joppa went-with him. ²⁴ And on-the next-day he-entered into [the] Caesarea. And [the] Cornelius was expecting them, having-called-together the relatives of-him and the/his close friends. ²⁵ And when [the] Peter’s entering, [the] Cornelius having-met him, having-fallen at the/his feet, worshiped (him).

²⁶ But [the] Peter raised┘him└up, saying, “Arise; I also myself am (a) man.”

 ²⁷ And talking-with him, he-entered and finds many gathered. ²⁸ And he-said to them,

“You know that it-is forbidden for-(a)-Jewish man to-associate or visit-with (a) foreigner. And┘[the] God showed└to-me to-call no man common or unclean. ²⁹ Wherefore also without-objection I-came having-been-summoned. So I-ask-for what reason did-you-send-after me?”

³⁰ And [the] Cornelius said,

“(The) fourth day ago during this [the] hour I-was praying the ninth (hour) in the house of-me, and, behold, (a) man stood in-front-of me in shining clothing, ³¹ and says, ‘Cornelius, the prayer of-you was-heard and the alms of-you were-remembered before [the] God; ³² so send to Joppa and summon Simon who is-called Peter; this-one is-lodging in (the) house of Simon (the) tanner beside (the) sea. ³³ So immediately I-sent to you, and you did well arriving. Now then we all are-present before [the] God to-hear all the-things commanded to-you by the Lord.”

            ³⁴ And Peter, having-opened the/his mouth, said,

“Truly² I-perceive that [the] God is not (a) respecter-of-persons, ³⁵ but in every nation the-one fearing him and working righteousness is acceptable to-him. ³⁶ The message that he-sent to-the sons of-Israel preaching peace through Jesus Christ—this-One is Lord of-all. ³⁷ You know the thing having-taken place throughout all [the] Judaea, beginning from [the] Galilee after the baptism that John preached, ³⁸ Jesus [the] from Nazareth, how [the] God anointed him with-(the)-Holy Spirit and power, who went-around doing-good and healing all the-ones being-oppressed by the devil, because [the] God was with him. ³⁹ And we (are) witnesses of-all-things that he-did both in the country of-the Jews and in Jerusalem; who also they-killed, having-hanged (him) on (a) tree— ⁴⁰ this-One [the] God raised-up on the third day and gave him to-become visible, ⁴¹ not to-all the people, but to-witnesses [the] being-hand-picked by [the] God, to-us, who ate with (him) and drank-with him after [the] his resurrecting from (the) dead; ⁴² and ordered us to-preach to-the people and to-thoroughly-testify that this-One is the-One appointed by [the] God (as) judge of-(the)-living and (the) dead. ⁴³ To-this-One all the prophets testify that everybody (the) believing in him to-receive forgiveness of-sins through the name of-him.”

            ⁴⁴ [The] Peter still speaking [the] these words, the Holy [the] Spirit fell-on all the ones hearing the word. ⁴⁵ And the believers of-(the) Circumcision, as-many-as came-with [the] Peter, were-amazed that on the Gentiles the gift of-the Holy Spirit has/had-been-poured-out. ⁴⁶ For they were-hearing them speaking with-languages and magnifying [the] God.

Then Peter answered, ⁴⁷ “Anybody is┘not┘┘└able to-prevent [the] [not] these being-baptized who received the Holy [the] Spirit as we also, └└are-they?”

⁴⁸ And he-ordered them to-be-baptized in the name of-Jesus Christ. Then they-asked him to-remain certain days.
