Peter Arrives at Cornelius's House

24

And the day after, they entred into Cesarea. Nowe Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsemen, and special friends.

25

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

26

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

27

And as he talked with him, he came in, and found many that were come together.

28

And he sayd vnto them, Ye know that it is an vnlawfull thing for a man that is a Iewe, to company, or come vnto one of another nation: but God hath shewed me, that I should not call any man polluted, or vncleane.

29

Therefore came I vnto you without saying nay, when I was sent for. I aske therefore, for what intent haue ye sent for me?

30

Then Cornelius sayd, Foure dayes agoe, about this houre, I fasted, and at the ninth houre I prayed in mine house, and beholde, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

31

And sayd, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine almes are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

32

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.

33

Then sent I for thee immediately, and thou hast well done to come. Nowe therefore are we all here present before God, to heare all things that are commanded thee of God.
