1 Now|strong="G1161" there|strong="G1161" was|strong="G3588" a|strong="G1722" certain|strong="G5100" man|strong="G5100" in|strong="G1722" Caesarea|strong="G2542", Cornelius|strong="G2883" by|strong="G1722" name|strong="G3686", a|strong="G1722" centurion|strong="G1543" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1722" band|strong="G4686" called|strong="G2564" the|strong="G1722" Italian|strong="G2483" band,
2 a|strong="G2532" devout|strong="G2152" man|strong="G3956", and|strong="G2532" one|strong="G3956" that|strong="G3588" feared|strong="G5399" God|strong="G2316" with|strong="G4862" all|strong="G3956" his|strong="G3956" house|strong="G3624", who|strong="G3588" also|strong="G2532" gave|strong="G4160" much|strong="G4183" alms|strong="G1654" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G2992", and|strong="G2532" prayed|strong="G1189" to|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2316" always|strong="G3956".
3 He|strong="G2532" saw|strong="G3708" in|strong="G1722" a|strong="G2532" vision|strong="G3705" openly|strong="G5320", about|strong="G4012" the|strong="G1722" ninth|strong="G1766" hour|strong="G5610" of|strong="G4012" the|strong="G1722" day|strong="G2250", an|strong="G2532" angel of|strong="G4012" God|strong="G2316" coming|strong="G2316" in|strong="G1722" unto|strong="G4314" him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" saying|strong="G3004" to|strong="G4314" him|strong="G3588", Cornelius|strong="G2883".
4 And|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532", fastening his|strong="G1519" eyes upon|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" being|strong="G1510" affrighted|strong="G1719", said|strong="G3004", What|strong="G5101" is|strong="G1510" it|strong="G2532", Lord|strong="G2962"? And|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" unto|strong="G3004" him|strong="G3588", Thy|strong="G3588" prayers|strong="G4335" and|strong="G2532" thine alms|strong="G1654" are|strong="G1510" gone up|strong="G1519" for|strong="G1519" a|strong="G1096" memorial|strong="G3422" before|strong="G1715" God|strong="G2316".
5 And|strong="G2532" now|strong="G3568" send|strong="G3992" men|strong="G5100" to|strong="G1519" Joppa|strong="G2445", and|strong="G2532" fetch Simon|strong="G4613", who|strong="G3739" is|strong="G3739" surnamed|strong="G1941" Peter|strong="G4074":
6 he|strong="G3739" lodgeth|strong="G3579" with|strong="G3844" one|strong="G5100" Simon|strong="G4613" a|strong="G1510" tanner|strong="G1038", whose|strong="G3739" house|strong="G3614" is|strong="G1510" by|strong="G3844" the|strong="G3739" seaside.
7 And|strong="G2532" when|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" angel that|strong="G3588" spake|strong="G2980" unto|strong="G2980" Cornelius|strong="G5455" was|strong="G3588" departed, he|strong="G2532" called|strong="G5455" two|strong="G1417" of|strong="G2532" his|strong="G2532" household|strong="G3610" servants|strong="G3610", and|strong="G2532" a|strong="G5613" devout|strong="G2152" soldier|strong="G4757" of|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" waited|strong="G4342" on|strong="G1161" him|strong="G3588" continually|strong="G4342";
8 and|strong="G2532" having|strong="G2532" rehearsed all|strong="G2532" things|strong="G3588" unto|strong="G1519" them|strong="G3588", he|strong="G2532" sent|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588" to|strong="G1519" Joppa|strong="G2445".
9 Now|strong="G1161" on|strong="G1909" the|strong="G2532" morrow|strong="G1887", as|strong="G1161" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" on|strong="G1909" their|strong="G2532" journey|strong="G3596", and|strong="G2532" drew|strong="G2532" nigh|strong="G1448" unto|strong="G1909" the|strong="G2532" city|strong="G4172", Peter|strong="G4074" went|strong="G2532" up|strong="G2532" upon|strong="G1909" the|strong="G2532" housetop|strong="G1430" to|strong="G2532" pray|strong="G4336", about|strong="G4012" the|strong="G2532" sixth|strong="G1623" hour|strong="G5610":
10 and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" became|strong="G1096" hungry|strong="G4361", and|strong="G2532" desired|strong="G2309" to|strong="G2532" eat|strong="G1089": but|strong="G1161" while|strong="G1161" they|strong="G2532" made|strong="G1096" ready|strong="G3903", a|strong="G1096" trance|strong="G1611" fell|strong="G1096" upon|strong="G1909" him|strong="G2532";
11 and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" beholdeth the|strong="G2532" heaven|strong="G3772" opened, and|strong="G2532" a|strong="G5613" certain|strong="G5100" vessel|strong="G4632" descending|strong="G2597" unto|strong="G1909" him|strong="G3588", as|strong="G5613" it|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" a|strong="G5613" great|strong="G3173" sheet|strong="G3607", bound at|strong="G1909" the|strong="G2532" four|strong="G5064" corners, and|strong="G2532" let|strong="G2524" down|strong="G2597" upon|strong="G1909" the|strong="G2532" earth|strong="G1093":
12 wherein|strong="G1722" were|strong="G3588" all|strong="G3956" manner|strong="G3956" of|strong="G2532" four-footed|strong="G5074" beasts|strong="G5074" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" earth|strong="G1093" and|strong="G2532" wild|strong="G2532" beasts|strong="G5074" and|strong="G2532" creeping|strong="G2532" things|strong="G3956" and|strong="G2532" birds|strong="G4071" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" heaven|strong="G3772".
13 And|strong="G2532" there|strong="G2532" came|strong="G1096" a|strong="G1096" voice|strong="G5456" to|strong="G4314" him|strong="G2532", Rise, Peter|strong="G4074"; kill|strong="G2380" and|strong="G2532" eat|strong="G2068".
14 But|strong="G1161" Peter|strong="G4074" said|strong="G3004", Not|strong="G2532" so|strong="G2532", Lord|strong="G2962"; for|strong="G3754" I|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2532" never|strong="G3763" eaten|strong="G5315" anything|strong="G3956" that|strong="G3754" is|strong="G3588" common|strong="G2839" or|strong="G2532" unclean|strong="G2839".
15 And|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" voice|strong="G5456" came unto|strong="G4314" him|strong="G3588" again|strong="G3825" the|strong="G2532" second|strong="G1208" time|strong="G1208", What|strong="G3739" God|strong="G2316" hath|strong="G2316" cleansed|strong="G2511", make|strong="G2511" not|strong="G3361" thou|strong="G4771" common|strong="G2840".
16 And|strong="G2532" this|strong="G3778" was|strong="G1096" done|strong="G1096" thrice|strong="G5151": and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" vessel|strong="G4632" was|strong="G1096" received up|strong="G1519" again|strong="G1519" into|strong="G1519" heaven|strong="G3772".
17 Now|strong="G1161" while|strong="G1722" Peter|strong="G4074" was|strong="G1510" much perplexed|strong="G1280" in|strong="G1722" himself|strong="G1438" what|strong="G5101" the|strong="G1722" vision|strong="G3705" which|strong="G3739" he|strong="G1161" had|strong="G1510" seen|strong="G3708" might mean|strong="G1510", then|strong="G1161", behold|strong="G2400", the|strong="G1722" men|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3739" were|strong="G1510" sent from|strong="G5259" Cornelius|strong="G2883", having made|strong="G1161" inquiry for|strong="G1909" Simon|strong="G4613"’s house|strong="G3614", stood|strong="G2186" before|strong="G1909" the|strong="G1722" gate|strong="G4440",
18 and|strong="G2532" called|strong="G5455" and|strong="G2532" asked|strong="G4441" whether|strong="G1487" Simon|strong="G4613", who|strong="G3588" was|strong="G3588" surnamed|strong="G1941" Peter|strong="G4074", were|strong="G3588" lodging|strong="G3579" there|strong="G2532".
19 And|strong="G1161" while|strong="G1161" Peter|strong="G4074" thought|strong="G1760" on|strong="G4012" the|strong="G1161" vision|strong="G3705", the|strong="G1161" Spirit|strong="G4151" said|strong="G3004" unto|strong="G3004" him|strong="G3588", Behold|strong="G2400", men|strong="G3588" are|strong="G3588" seeking|strong="G2212" thee.
20 But|strong="G2532" arise, and|strong="G2532" get|strong="G2532" thee down|strong="G2597", and|strong="G2532" go|strong="G4198" with|strong="G4862" them|strong="G1438", nothing|strong="G3367" doubting|strong="G1252": for|strong="G3754" I|strong="G1473" have|strong="G2532" sent|strong="G2532" them|strong="G1438".
21 And|strong="G1161" Peter|strong="G4074" went|strong="G2597" down|strong="G2597" to|strong="G4314" the|strong="G1161" men|strong="G3588", and|strong="G1161" said|strong="G3004", Behold|strong="G2400", I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1510" he|strong="G1161" whom|strong="G3739" ye|strong="G3739" seek|strong="G2212": what|strong="G5101" is|strong="G1510" the|strong="G1161" cause|strong="G1223" wherefore|strong="G1223" ye|strong="G3739" are|strong="G1510" come|strong="G2597"?
22 And|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", Cornelius|strong="G2883" a|strong="G2532" centurion|strong="G1543", a|strong="G2532" righteous|strong="G1342" man|strong="G1342" and|strong="G2532" one|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" feareth|strong="G5399" God|strong="G2316", and|strong="G2532" well|strong="G2532" reported|strong="G3140" of|strong="G5259" by|strong="G5259" all|strong="G3650" the|strong="G2532" nation|strong="G1484" of|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2532" Jews|strong="G2453", was|strong="G3588" warned|strong="G5537" of God by|strong="G5259" a|strong="G2532" holy angel to|strong="G1519" send|strong="G3343" for|strong="G1519" thee into|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1519" house|strong="G3624", and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G1519" hear words|strong="G4487" from|strong="G3844" thee.
23 So|strong="G3767" he|strong="G2532" called|strong="G3767" them|strong="G3588" in|strong="G2532" and|strong="G2532" lodged|strong="G3579" them|strong="G3588".
24 And|strong="G2532" on|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" morrow|strong="G1887" they|strong="G2532" entered|strong="G1525" into|strong="G1519" Caesarea|strong="G2542". And|strong="G2532" Cornelius|strong="G2883" was|strong="G1510" waiting|strong="G4328" for|strong="G1519" them|strong="G3588", having|strong="G2532" called|strong="G4779" together|strong="G4779" his|strong="G1438" kinsmen|strong="G4773" and|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1438" near|strong="G1519" friends|strong="G5384".
25 And|strong="G1161" when|strong="G1161" it|strong="G1161" came|strong="G1096" to|strong="G1909" pass|strong="G1096" that|strong="G3588" Peter|strong="G4074" entered|strong="G1525", Cornelius|strong="G2883" met|strong="G4876" him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G1161" fell|strong="G4098" down|strong="G4098" at|strong="G1909" his|strong="G1909" feet|strong="G4228", and|strong="G1161" worshiped|strong="G4352" him|strong="G3588".
26 But|strong="G1161" Peter|strong="G4074" raised|strong="G1453" him|strong="G3588" up|strong="G1453", saying|strong="G3004", Stand|strong="G1453" up|strong="G1453"; I|strong="G1473" myself|strong="G1473" also|strong="G2532" am|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2532" man.
27 And|strong="G2532" as|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" talked|strong="G4926" with|strong="G2532" him|strong="G2532", he|strong="G2532" went|strong="G1525" in|strong="G1525", and|strong="G2532" findeth|strong="G2147" many|strong="G4183" come|strong="G1525" together|strong="G4905":
28 and|strong="G5037" he|strong="G3588" said|strong="G3004" unto|strong="G4314" them|strong="G3588", Ye|strong="G5210" yourselves|strong="G1438" know|strong="G1987" how|strong="G5613" it|strong="G1510" is|strong="G1510" an|strong="G2228" unlawful thing|strong="G3367" for|strong="G4314" a|strong="G5613" man|strong="G3367" that|strong="G3588" is|strong="G1510" a|strong="G5613" Jew|strong="G2453" to|strong="G4314" join|strong="G2853" himself|strong="G1438" or|strong="G2228" come|strong="G1510" unto|strong="G4314" one|strong="G3367" of|strong="G2316" another|strong="G1438" nation; and|strong="G5037" yet unto|strong="G4314" me|strong="G3004" hath|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316" shown|strong="G1166" that|strong="G3588" I|strong="G2504" should|strong="G2316" not|strong="G3367" call|strong="G3004" any|strong="G3367" man|strong="G3367" common|strong="G2839" or|strong="G2228" unclean|strong="G2839":
29 wherefore|strong="G1352" also|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" came|strong="G2064" without|strong="G2532" gainsaying, when|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" was|strong="G2532" sent|strong="G3343" for|strong="G2532". I|strong="G1473" ask|strong="G4441" therefore|strong="G3767" with|strong="G2532" what|strong="G5101" intent|strong="G3056" ye|strong="G2532" sent|strong="G3343" for|strong="G2532" me|strong="G1473".
30 And|strong="G2532" Cornelius|strong="G2883" said|strong="G5346", Four|strong="G5067" days|strong="G2250" ago, I|strong="G1473" was|strong="G1510" fasting until|strong="G3360" this|strong="G3778" hour|strong="G5610"; and|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" was|strong="G1510" keeping the|strong="G1722" ninth|strong="G1766" hour|strong="G5610" of|strong="G2250" prayer|strong="G4336" in|strong="G1722" my|strong="G3708" house|strong="G3624"; and|strong="G2532" behold|strong="G2400", a|strong="G2532" man|strong="G3778" stood|strong="G2476" before|strong="G1799" me|strong="G1473" in|strong="G1722" bright|strong="G2986" apparel|strong="G2066",
31 and|strong="G2532" saith|strong="G5346", Cornelius|strong="G2883", thy|strong="G3588" prayer|strong="G4335" is|strong="G3588" heard|strong="G1522", and|strong="G2532" thine alms|strong="G1654" are|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2532" in|strong="G2532" remembrance|strong="G3403" in|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" sight|strong="G1799" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316".
32 Send|strong="G3992" therefore|strong="G3767" to|strong="G1519" Joppa|strong="G2445", and|strong="G2532" call|strong="G1941" unto|strong="G1519" thee Simon|strong="G4613", who|strong="G3739" is|strong="G3778" surnamed|strong="G1941" Peter|strong="G4074"; he|strong="G2532" lodgeth|strong="G3579" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" house|strong="G3614" of|strong="G2532" Simon|strong="G4613" a|strong="G2532" tanner|strong="G1038", by|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" seaside: who|strong="G3739", when|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" cometh|strong="G3767", shall|strong="G2532" speak|strong="G3778" unto|strong="G1519" thee.
33 Forthwith therefore|strong="G3767" I|strong="G1473" sent|strong="G3992" to|strong="G4314" thee; and|strong="G5037" thou|strong="G4771" hast|strong="G4771" well|strong="G2573" done|strong="G4160" that|strong="G3588" thou|strong="G4771" art|strong="G4771" come|strong="G3854". Now|strong="G3568" therefore|strong="G3767" we|strong="G2249" are|strong="G3588" all|strong="G3956" here|strong="G3918" present|strong="G3568" in|strong="G2316" the|strong="G3956" sight|strong="G1799" of|strong="G5259" God|strong="G2316", to|strong="G4314" hear all|strong="G3956" things|strong="G3956" that|strong="G3588" have|strong="G1473" been|strong="G3568" commanded|strong="G4367" thee of|strong="G5259" God|strong="G2316".
34 And|strong="G1161" Peter|strong="G4074" opened his|strong="G1909" mouth|strong="G4750", and|strong="G1161" said|strong="G3004",
35 but|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" every|strong="G3956" nation|strong="G1484" he|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" feareth|strong="G5399" him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" worketh|strong="G2038" righteousness|strong="G1343", is|strong="G1510" acceptable|strong="G1184" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588".
