Cornelius's Vision in Caesarea

1

And there was a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion from a band called Italian,

2

pious, and fearing God with all his house, doing also many kind acts to the people, and beseeching God always,

3

he saw in a vision manifestly, as it were the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, `Cornelius;'

4

and he having looked earnestly on him, and becoming afraid, said, `What is it, Lord?' And he said to him, `Thy prayers and thy kind acts came up for a memorial before God,

5

and now send men to Joppa, and send for a certain one Simon, who is surnamed Peter,

6

this one doth lodge with a certain Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea; this one shall speak to thee what it behoveth thee to do.'

7

And when the messenger who is speaking to Cornelius went away, having called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier of those waiting on him continually,

8

and having declared to them all things, he sent them to Joppa.
