Cornelius's Vision in Caesarea

1

At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment.

2

He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He gave generously to the people and prayed to God regularly.

3

One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”

4

Cornelius stared at him in fear and asked, “What is it, Lord?” The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have ascended as a memorial offering before God.

5

Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter.

6

He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”

7

When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.

8

He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa.
