Simon

Nowe when the Apostles, which were at Hierusalem, heard say, that Samaria had receiued the worde of God, they sent vnto them Peter and Iohn.

Then saide Peter vnto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou thinkest that the gift of God may be obteined with money.

And it came to passe, as Peter walked throughout all quarters, hee came also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.

Then said Peter vnto him, Aeneas, Iesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise and trusse thy couch together. And he arose immediately.

Now forasmuch as Lydda was neere to Ioppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent vnto him two men, desiring that he would not delay to come vnto them.

Then Peter arose and came with them: and when hee was come, they brought him into the vpper chamber, where all the widowes stoode by him weeping, and shewing the coates and garments, which Dorcas made, while she was with them.

But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled downe, and prayed, and turned him to the body, and sayd, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and when she sawe Peter, sate vp.

Nowe therefore send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.

On the morow as they went on their iourney, and drew neere vnto the citie, Peter went vp vpon the house to pray, about the sixt houre.

And there came a voyce to him, Arise, Peter: kill, and eate.

But Peter sayd, Not so, Lord: for I haue neuer eaten any thing that is polluted, or vncleane.

Nowe while Peter douted in himselfe what this vision which he had seene, meant, beholde, the men which were sent from Cornelius, had inquired for Simons house, and stoode at the gate,

And called, and asked, whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit sayde vnto him, Beholde, three men seeke thee.

Then Peter went downe to the men, which were sent vnto him from Cornelius, and sayd, Beholde, I am he whome ye seeke: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?

Then called he them in, and lodged them, and the next day, Peter went foorth with them, and certaine brethren from Ioppa accompanied him.

And it came to passe as Peter came in, that Cornelius met him, and fell downe at his feete, and worshipped him.

But Peter tooke him vp, saying, Stand vp: for euen I my selfe am a man.

Send therefore to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter (he is lodged in the house of Simon a Tanner by the sea side) who when he commeth, shall speake vnto thee.

Then Peter opened his mouth, and sayd, Of a trueth I perceiue, that God is no accepter of persons.

While Peter yet spake these wordes, the holy Ghost fell on al them which heard the word.

So they of the circumcision which beleeued, were astonied, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was powred out the gift of the holy Ghost.

For they heard them speake with tongues, and magnifie God. Then answered Peter,

And when Peter was come vp to Hierusalem, they of the circumcision contended against him,

Then Peter beganne, and expounded the thing in order to them, saying,
