Cornelius's Vision in Caesarea

1

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

2

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

3

This 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.

4

And 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.

5

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

6

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

7

And 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.

8

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