Simon

And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria hath received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and John,

And Peter said unto him, `Thy silver with thee--may it be to destruction! because the gift of God thou didst think to possess through money;

And it came to pass that Peter passing throughout all quarters , came down also unto the saints who were dwelling at Lydda,

and Peter said to him, `Aeneas, heal thee doth Jesus the Christ; arise and spread for thyself;' and immediately he rose,

and Lydda being nigh to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in that place , sent two men unto him, calling on him not to delay to come through unto them.

And Peter having risen, went with them, whom having come, they brought into the upper chamber, and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing coats and garments, as many as Dorcas was making while she was with them.

And Peter having put them all forth without, having bowed the knees, did pray, and having turned unto the body said, `Tabitha, arise;' and she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up,

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

And on the morrow, as these are proceeding on the way, and are drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour,

and Peter having come down unto the men who have been sent from Cornelius unto him, said, `Lo, I am he whom ye seek, what is the cause for which ye are present?'

Having called them in, therefore, he lodged them, and on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him,

and as it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at his feet, did bow before him ;

and Peter raised him, saying, `Stand up; I also myself am a man;'

send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one doth lodge in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, shall speak to thee;

And Peter having opened his mouth, said, `Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,

While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy spirit fell upon all those hearing the word,

and those of the circumcision believing were astonished--as many as came with Peter--because also upon the nations the gift of the Holy Spirit hath been poured out,

for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.

and when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision were contending with him,

And Peter having begun, did expound to them in order saying,
