1 Now|strong="G1161" there|strong="G1161" was|strong="G3588" a|strong="G1722" man|strong="G5100" in|strong="G1722" Caesarea|strong="G2542" named|strong="G3686" Cornelius|strong="G2883", a|strong="G1722" centurion|strong="G1543" of|strong="G1537" what|strong="G3588" was|strong="G3588" called|strong="G2564" the|strong="G1722" Italian|strong="G2483" cohort|strong="G4686".
2 He|strong="G2532" was|strong="G3588" a|strong="G2532" devout|strong="G2152" man|strong="G3956" who|strong="G3588" feared|strong="G5399" God|strong="G2316" along|strong="G4862" with|strong="G4862" his|strong="G3956" entire|strong="G3956" household|strong="G3624"; he|strong="G2532" gave|strong="G4160" generously to|strong="G2532" those|strong="G3588" in|strong="G2532" need and|strong="G2532" always|strong="G3956" prayed|strong="G1189" to|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2316".
3 About|strong="G4012" the|strong="G1722" ninth|strong="G1766" hour|strong="G5610" of|strong="G4012" the|strong="G1722" day|strong="G2250" he|strong="G2532" saw|strong="G3708" clearly|strong="G5320" in|strong="G1722" a|strong="G2532" vision|strong="G3705" an|strong="G2532" angel of|strong="G4012" God|strong="G2316", who|strong="G3588" came|strong="G1525" in|strong="G1722" and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G4314" him|strong="G3588", “Cornelius|strong="G2883"!”
4 Staring at|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588" intently, Cornelius was|strong="G1510" afraid|strong="G1719" and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", “What|strong="G5101" is|strong="G1510" it|strong="G2532", Lord|strong="G2962"?” The|strong="G2532" angel said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588", “Yoʋr prayers|strong="G4335" and|strong="G2532" charitable acts have|strong="G2532" ascended|strong="G3588" as|strong="G1519" a|strong="G1096" memorial|strong="G3422" offering|strong="G2532" before|strong="G1715" God|strong="G2316".
5 Now|strong="G3568" send|strong="G3992" men|strong="G5100" to|strong="G1519" Joppa|strong="G2445" and|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3739" bring|strong="G2532" back|strong="G1519" Simon|strong="G4613", who|strong="G3739" is|strong="G3739" called|strong="G1941" Peter|strong="G4074".
6 He|strong="G3739" is|strong="G1510" staying|strong="G3579" with|strong="G3844" a|strong="G1510" tanner|strong="G1038" named|strong="G4613" Simon|strong="G4613", whose|strong="G3739" house|strong="G3614" is|strong="G1510" by|strong="G3844" the|strong="G3739" sea|strong="G2281".”
7 When|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" angel who|strong="G3588" spoke|strong="G2980" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588" went|strong="G2532" away, Cornelius|strong="G5455" called|strong="G5455" two|strong="G1417" of|strong="G2532" his|strong="G2532" servants|strong="G3610" and|strong="G2532" a|strong="G5613" devout|strong="G2152" soldier|strong="G4757" from|strong="G2532" among|strong="G3588" his|strong="G2532" attendants|strong="G4342".
8 After|strong="G2532" explaining everything to|strong="G1519" them|strong="G3588", he|strong="G2532" sent|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588" to|strong="G1519" Joppa|strong="G2445".
9 On|strong="G1909" the|strong="G2532" next|strong="G1887" day|strong="G1887", as|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" men|strong="G3588" were|strong="G3588" traveling along|strong="G2532" and|strong="G2532" approaching|strong="G1448" the|strong="G2532" city|strong="G4172", Peter|strong="G4074" went|strong="G2532" up|strong="G2532" on|strong="G1909" the|strong="G2532" housetop|strong="G1430" to|strong="G2532" pray|strong="G4336" at|strong="G1909" about|strong="G4012" the|strong="G2532" sixth|strong="G1623" hour|strong="G5610".
10 He|strong="G2532" became|strong="G1096" hungry|strong="G4361" and|strong="G2532" wanted|strong="G2309" to|strong="G2532" eat|strong="G1089", and|strong="G2532" as|strong="G1161" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G1096" preparing a|strong="G1096" meal, a|strong="G1096" trance|strong="G1611" fell|strong="G1096" upon|strong="G1909" him|strong="G2532".
11 He|strong="G2532" saw|strong="G2334" heaven|strong="G3772" opened and|strong="G2532" an|strong="G2532" object|strong="G4632" like|strong="G5613" a|strong="G5613" large|strong="G3173" sheet|strong="G3607" coming|strong="G2597" down|strong="G2597" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588". It|strong="G2532" was|strong="G3588" tied at|strong="G1909" its four|strong="G5064" corners and|strong="G2532" was|strong="G3588" being|strong="G2532" lowered|strong="G2524" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" earth|strong="G1093".
12 In|strong="G1722" it|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" all|strong="G3956" kinds|strong="G3956" of|strong="G2532" four-footed|strong="G5074" animals|strong="G5074" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" earth|strong="G1093", as|strong="G1722" well|strong="G2532" as|strong="G1722" wild|strong="G2532" beasts|strong="G5074", reptiles|strong="G2062", and|strong="G2532" birds|strong="G4071" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" sky|strong="G3772".
13 Then|strong="G2532" a|strong="G1096" voice|strong="G5456" came|strong="G1096" to|strong="G4314" him|strong="G2532": “Rise, \+w Peter|strong="G4074"\+w*, \+w kill|strong="G2380"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w eat|strong="G2068"\+w*.”
14 But|strong="G1161" Peter|strong="G4074" said|strong="G3004", “Surely not|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" defiled|strong="G2839" or|strong="G2532" unclean|strong="G2839".”
15 The|strong="G2532" voice|strong="G5456" came|strong="G2532" to|strong="G4314" him|strong="G3588" again|strong="G3825" a|strong="G2532" second|strong="G1208" time|strong="G1208": “\+w Do|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3361"\+w* \+w regard|strong="G4314"\+w* \+w as|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w defiled|strong="G2840"\+w* \+w what|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w God|strong="G2316"\+w* \+w has|strong="G2316"\+w* \+w made|strong="G2316"\+w* \+w clean|strong="G2511"\+w*.”
16 This|strong="G3778" happened|strong="G1096" three|strong="G5151" times|strong="G5151", and|strong="G2532" then|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" object|strong="G4632" was|strong="G1096" taken|strong="G1096" up|strong="G1519" again|strong="G1519" into|strong="G1519" heaven|strong="G3772".
17 While|strong="G1722" Peter|strong="G4074" was|strong="G1510" greatly|strong="G1280" perplexed|strong="G1280", pondering within|strong="G1722" himself|strong="G1438" what|strong="G5101" the|strong="G1722" vision|strong="G3705" he|strong="G1161" had|strong="G1510" seen|strong="G3708" might mean|strong="G1510", behold|strong="G2400", the|strong="G1722" men|strong="G3588" sent by|strong="G1722" Cornelius|strong="G2883" had|strong="G1510" asked|strong="G1331" for|strong="G1909" Simon|strong="G4613"'s house|strong="G3614" and|strong="G1161" were|strong="G1510" standing|strong="G2186" at|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" gate|strong="G4440".
18 They|strong="G2532" called|strong="G5455" out|strong="G2532" and|strong="G2532" asked|strong="G4441" if|strong="G1487" Simon|strong="G4613", who|strong="G3588" was|strong="G3588" called|strong="G5455" Peter|strong="G4074", was|strong="G3588" staying|strong="G3579" there|strong="G2532".
19 As|strong="G1161" Peter|strong="G4074" continued pondering the|strong="G1161" vision|strong="G3705", the|strong="G1161" Spirit|strong="G4151" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" him|strong="G3588", “Behold|strong="G2400", some|strong="G3588" men|strong="G3588" are|strong="G3588" looking|strong="G2212" for|strong="G4012" yoʋ.
20 Now|strong="G2532" get|strong="G2532" up|strong="G2532", go|strong="G4198" downstairs|strong="G2597", and|strong="G2532" go|strong="G4198" with|strong="G4862" them|strong="G1438" without|strong="G3367" any|strong="G3367" misgivings|strong="G1252", for|strong="G3754" I|strong="G1473" have|strong="G2532" sent|strong="G2532" them|strong="G1438".”
21 So|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" the|strong="G1161" one|strong="G3739" you|strong="G3739" are|strong="G1510" looking|strong="G2212" for|strong="G1223". For|strong="G1223" what|strong="G5101" reason|strong="G1223" have|strong="G1473" you|strong="G3739" come|strong="G2597"?”
22 They|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", “Cornelius|strong="G2883", a|strong="G2532" centurion|strong="G1543", a|strong="G2532" righteous|strong="G1342" and|strong="G2532" God-fearing|strong="G5399" man|strong="G1342", who|strong="G3588" is|strong="G3588" well|strong="G2532" spoken|strong="G3004" of|strong="G5259" by|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2532" entire|strong="G3650" Jewish|strong="G2453" nation|strong="G1484", was|strong="G3588" directed|strong="G5537" by|strong="G5259" a|strong="G2532" holy angel to|strong="G1519" send|strong="G3343" for|strong="G1519" yoʋ to|strong="G1519" come|strong="G2532" to|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1519" house|strong="G3624" so|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" he|strong="G2532" could|strong="G3588" hear a|strong="G2532" message|strong="G4487" from|strong="G3844" yoʋ.”
23 So|strong="G3767" Peter|strong="G1831" invited|strong="G1528" them|strong="G3588" in|strong="G2532" and|strong="G2532" put|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588" up|strong="G2532" for|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" night.
24 The|strong="G2532" following|strong="G1887" day|strong="G1887" they|strong="G2532" entered|strong="G1525" Caesarea|strong="G2542". Cornelius|strong="G2883" was|strong="G1510" expecting|strong="G4328" them|strong="G3588" and|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" called|strong="G4779" together|strong="G4779" his|strong="G1438" relatives|strong="G4773" and|strong="G2532" close friends|strong="G5384".
25 When|strong="G1161" Peter|strong="G4074" entered|strong="G1525" the|strong="G1161" house, Cornelius|strong="G2883" met|strong="G4876" him|strong="G3588", fell|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" too|strong="G2532" am|strong="G1510" just|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" man.”
27 As|strong="G2532" Peter|strong="G4926" talked|strong="G4926" with|strong="G2532" him|strong="G2532", he|strong="G2532" went|strong="G1525" in|strong="G1525" and|strong="G2532" found|strong="G2147" many|strong="G4183" people|strong="G1525" gathered|strong="G4905" together|strong="G4905".
28 Peter said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G4314" them|strong="G3588", “You|strong="G5210" know|strong="G1987" that|strong="G3588" it|strong="G1510" is|strong="G1510" forbidden for|strong="G4314" a|strong="G5613" Jewish|strong="G2453" man|strong="G3367" to|strong="G4314" keep|strong="G3367" company|strong="G2853" with|strong="G4314" or|strong="G2228" associate|strong="G2853" with|strong="G4314" a|strong="G5613" foreigner, but|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316" has|strong="G2316" shown|strong="G1166" me|strong="G3004" that|strong="G3588" I|strong="G2504" should|strong="G2316" call|strong="G3004" no|strong="G3367" one|strong="G3367" defiled|strong="G2839" or|strong="G2228" unclean|strong="G2839".
29 That|strong="G2532" is|strong="G5101" why|strong="G5101" I|strong="G1473" came|strong="G2064" without|strong="G2532" objection when|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" was|strong="G2532" sent|strong="G3343" for|strong="G2532". I|strong="G1473" ask|strong="G4441" then|strong="G3767", what|strong="G5101" is|strong="G5101" the|strong="G2532" reason|strong="G1352" you|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2532" sent|strong="G3343" for|strong="G2532" me|strong="G1473"?”
30 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". At|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" ninth|strong="G1766" hour|strong="G5610" I|strong="G1473" was|strong="G1510" praying|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" clothing|strong="G2066".
31 The|strong="G2532" man|strong="G2316" said|strong="G5346", ‘Cornelius|strong="G2883", yoʋr prayer|strong="G4335" has|strong="G2316" been|strong="G2532" heard|strong="G1522", and|strong="G2532" yoʋr charitable acts have|strong="G2532" been|strong="G2532" remembered|strong="G3403" before|strong="G1799" God|strong="G2316".
32 Therefore|strong="G3767" send|strong="G3992" to|strong="G1519" Joppa|strong="G2445" and|strong="G2532" ask for|strong="G1519" Simon|strong="G4613", who|strong="G3739" is|strong="G3778" called|strong="G1941" Peter|strong="G4074". He|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3778" staying|strong="G3579" by|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" sea|strong="G2281" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" house|strong="G3614" of|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" tanner|strong="G1038" named|strong="G4613" Simon|strong="G4613". When|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" arrives, he|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2532" speak|strong="G3778" to|strong="G1519" yoʋ.’
33 So|strong="G3767" I|strong="G1473" sent|strong="G3992" for|strong="G4314" yoʋ at|strong="G4314" once|strong="G1824", and|strong="G5037" yoʋ have|strong="G1473" done|strong="G4160" well|strong="G2573" by|strong="G5259" coming|strong="G3854". Now|strong="G3568" then|strong="G3767", we|strong="G2249" are|strong="G3588" all|strong="G3956" here|strong="G3918" in|strong="G2316" the|strong="G3956" presence|strong="G1799" of|strong="G5259" God|strong="G2316" to|strong="G4314" hear all|strong="G3956" that|strong="G3588" yoʋ have|strong="G1473" been|strong="G3568" commanded|strong="G4367" by|strong="G5259" God|strong="G2316".”
34 Then|strong="G1161" Peter|strong="G4074" opened his|strong="G1909" mouth|strong="G4750" and|strong="G1161" said|strong="G3004", “Now|strong="G1161" I|strong="G1161" truly|strong="G1909" understand|strong="G2638" that|strong="G3754" God|strong="G2316" shows no|strong="G3756" partiality|strong="G4381",
35 but|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" every|strong="G3956" nation|strong="G1484" anyone|strong="G3956" who|strong="G3588" fears|strong="G5399" him|strong="G3588" and|strong="G2532" does|strong="G1510" what|strong="G3588" is|strong="G1510" right|strong="G1343" is|strong="G1510" acceptable|strong="G1184" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588".
36 You|strong="G3739" yourselves know the|strong="G3956" message|strong="G3056" he|strong="G3739" sent|strong="G2424" to|strong="G2424" the|strong="G3956" sons|strong="G5207" of|strong="G5207" Israel|strong="G2474", preaching|strong="G2097" the|strong="G3956" good|strong="G2097" news|strong="G2097" of|strong="G5207" peace|strong="G1515" through|strong="G1223" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547", who|strong="G3739" is|strong="G1510" Lord|strong="G2962" of|strong="G5207" all|strong="G3956",
37 the|strong="G2596" message|strong="G4487" that|strong="G3739" spread|strong="G1096" throughout|strong="G2596" all|strong="G3650" Judea|strong="G2449", beginning from|strong="G2596" Galilee|strong="G1056" after|strong="G3326" the|strong="G2596" baptism that|strong="G3739" John|strong="G2491" preached|strong="G2784":
38 how|strong="G5613" God|strong="G2316" anointed|strong="G5548" Jesus|strong="G2424" of|strong="G5259" Nazareth|strong="G3478" with|strong="G3326" the|strong="G2532" Holy|strong="G4151" Spirit|strong="G4151" and|strong="G2532" power|strong="G1411", who|strong="G3739" then|strong="G2532" went|strong="G2424" around doing|strong="G1330" good|strong="G3956" and|strong="G2532" healing|strong="G2390" all|strong="G3956" who|strong="G3739" were|strong="G1510" oppressed|strong="G2616" by|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2532" devil|strong="G1228", because|strong="G3754" God|strong="G2316" was|strong="G1510" with|strong="G3326" him|strong="G3588".
39 We|strong="G2249" are|strong="G3588" witnesses|strong="G3144" of|strong="G2532" everything|strong="G3956" he|strong="G2532" did|strong="G4160" both|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" country|strong="G5561" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" Jews|strong="G2453" and|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" Jerusalem|strong="G2419". They|strong="G2532" put|strong="G4160" him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G2532" death by|strong="G1722" hanging|strong="G2910" him|strong="G3588" on|strong="G1909" a|strong="G2532" cross|strong="G3586",
40 but|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2316" raised|strong="G1453" him|strong="G3588" up|strong="G1453" on|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" third|strong="G5154" day|strong="G2250" and|strong="G2532" allowed him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1096" seen|strong="G1717",
41 not|strong="G3756" by|strong="G5259" all|strong="G3956" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G2992", but|strong="G2532" by|strong="G5259" us|strong="G2249", the|strong="G2532" witnesses|strong="G3144" who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2532" been|strong="G2532" chosen|strong="G3144" beforehand|strong="G4401" by|strong="G5259" God|strong="G2316", who|strong="G3588" ate|strong="G4906" and|strong="G2532" drank|strong="G4844" with|strong="G3326" him|strong="G3588" after|strong="G3326" he|strong="G2532" rose|strong="G2532" from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" dead|strong="G3498".
42 He|strong="G2532" commanded|strong="G3853" us|strong="G2249" to|strong="G2532" preach|strong="G2784" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G2992" and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" testify|strong="G1263" that|strong="G3754" he|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" the|strong="G2532" one|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" has|strong="G2316" been|strong="G1510" appointed|strong="G3724" by|strong="G5259" God|strong="G2316" as|strong="G2532" judge|strong="G2923" of|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2532" living|strong="G2198" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" dead|strong="G3498".
43 All|strong="G3956" the|strong="G1519" prophets|strong="G4396" testify|strong="G3140" about|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" everyone|strong="G3956" who|strong="G3588" believes|strong="G4100" in|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588" receives|strong="G2983" remission of|strong="G1223" sins through|strong="G1223" his|strong="G3956" name|strong="G3686".”
44 While|strong="G2980" Peter|strong="G4074" was|strong="G3588" still|strong="G2089" speaking|strong="G2980" these|strong="G3778" words|strong="G3056", the|strong="G3956" Holy|strong="G4151" Spirit|strong="G4151" fell|strong="G1968" upon|strong="G1909" all|strong="G3956" who|strong="G3588" were|strong="G3588" listening to|strong="G1909" the|strong="G3956" message|strong="G3056".
45 All|strong="G3745" the|strong="G2532" believers|strong="G4103" from|strong="G1537" among|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" circumcised|strong="G4061" who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2532" come|strong="G4905" with|strong="G1537" Peter|strong="G4074" were|strong="G3588" astonished|strong="G1839", because|strong="G3754" the|strong="G2532" gift|strong="G1431" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" Holy|strong="G4151" Spirit|strong="G4151" was|strong="G3588" being|strong="G2532" poured|strong="G1632" out|strong="G1537" even|strong="G2532" on|strong="G1909" the|strong="G2532" Gentiles|strong="G1484".
46 For|strong="G1063" they|strong="G2532" heard them|strong="G3588" speaking|strong="G2980" in|strong="G2532" tongues|strong="G1100" and|strong="G2532" magnifying God|strong="G2316". Then|strong="G2532" Peter|strong="G4074" responded,
47 “Can|strong="G1410" anyone|strong="G5100" withhold|strong="G2967" water|strong="G5204" for|strong="G2532" baptizing these|strong="G3778" people|strong="G2983" who|strong="G3588" have|strong="G2532" received|strong="G2983" the|strong="G2532" Holy|strong="G4151" Spirit|strong="G4151" just|strong="G5613" as|strong="G5613" we|strong="G2249" have|strong="G2532"?”
48 So|strong="G1161" he|strong="G1161" gave|strong="G3588" orders to|strong="G1722" have|strong="G5100" them|strong="G3588" baptized in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" name|strong="G3686" of|strong="G2250" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G3588". Then|strong="G5119" they|strong="G1161" asked|strong="G2065" him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G1722" stay|strong="G1961" on|strong="G1722" for|strong="G1161" a|strong="G1722" few|strong="G5100" days|strong="G2250".
