1 ἀνὴρ δέ τις ἐν καισαρείᾳ ὀνόματι κορνήλιος, ἑκατοντάρχης ἐκ σπείρης τῆς καλουμένης ἰταλικῆς,

2 εὐσεβὴς καὶ φοβούμενος τὸν θεὸν σὺν παντὶ τῶ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ, ποιῶν ἐλεημοσύνας πολλὰς τῶ λαῶ καὶ δεόμενος τοῦ θεοῦ διὰ παντός,

3 εἶδεν ἐν ὁράματι φανερῶς ὡσεὶ περὶ ὥραν ἐνάτην τῆς ἡμέρας ἄγγελον τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσελθόντα πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἰπόντα αὐτῶ, κορνήλιε.

4 ὁ δὲ ἀτενίσας αὐτῶ καὶ ἔμφοβος γενόμενος εἶπεν, τί ἐστιν, κύριε; εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῶ, αἱ προσευχαί σου καὶ αἱ ἐλεημοσύναι σου ἀνέβησαν εἰς μνημόσυνον ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ θεοῦ.

5 καὶ νῦν πέμψον ἄνδρας εἰς ἰόππην καὶ μετάπεμψαι σίμωνά τινα ὃς ἐπικαλεῖται πέτρος·

6 οὖτος ξενίζεται παρά τινι σίμωνι βυρσεῖ, ᾧ ἐστιν οἰκία παρὰ θάλασσαν.

7 ὡς δὲ ἀπῆλθεν ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ λαλῶν αὐτῶ, φωνήσας δύο τῶν οἰκετῶν καὶ στρατιώτην εὐσεβῆ τῶν προσκαρτερούντων αὐτῶ,

8 καὶ ἐξηγησάμενος ἅπαντα αὐτοῖς ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν ἰόππην.

9 τῇ δὲ ἐπαύριον ὁδοιπορούντων ἐκείνων καὶ τῇ πόλει ἐγγιζόντων ἀνέβη πέτρος ἐπὶ τὸ δῶμα προσεύξασθαι περὶ ὥραν ἕκτην.

10 ἐγένετο δὲ πρόσπεινος καὶ ἤθελεν γεύσασθαι· παρασκευαζόντων δὲ αὐτῶν ἐγένετο ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν ἔκστασις,

11 καὶ θεωρεῖ τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνεῳγμένον καὶ καταβαῖνον σκεῦός τι ὡς ὀθόνην μεγάλην τέσσαρσιν ἀρχαῖς καθιέμενον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς,

12 ἐν ᾧ ὑπῆρχεν πάντα τὰ τετράποδα καὶ ἑρπετὰ τῆς γῆς καὶ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.

13 καὶ ἐγένετο φωνὴ πρὸς αὐτόν, ἀναστάς, πέτρε, θῦσον καὶ φάγε.

14 ὁ δὲ πέτρος εἶπεν, μηδαμῶς, κύριε, ὅτι οὐδέποτε ἔφαγον πᾶν κοινὸν καὶ ἀκάθαρτον.

15 καὶ φωνὴ πάλιν ἐκ δευτέρου πρὸς αὐτόν, ἃ ὁ θεὸς ἐκαθάρισεν σὺ μὴ κοίνου.

16 τοῦτο δὲ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ τρίς, καὶ εὐθὺς ἀνελήμφθη τὸ σκεῦος εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.

17 ὡς δὲ ἐν ἑαυτῶ διηπόρει ὁ πέτρος τί ἂν εἴη τὸ ὅραμα ὃ εἶδεν, ἰδοὺ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ ἀπεσταλμένοι ὑπὸ τοῦ κορνηλίου διερωτήσαντες τὴν οἰκίαν τοῦ σίμωνος ἐπέστησαν ἐπὶ τὸν πυλῶνα,

18 καὶ φωνήσαντες ἐπυνθάνοντο εἰ σίμων ὁ ἐπικαλούμενος πέτρος ἐνθάδε ξενίζεται.

19 τοῦ δὲ πέτρου διενθυμουμένου περὶ τοῦ ὁράματος εἶπεν [αὐτῶ] τὸ πνεῦμα, ἰδοὺ ἄνδρες τρεῖς ζητοῦντές σε·

20 ἀλλὰ ἀναστὰς κατάβηθι καὶ πορεύου σὺν αὐτοῖς μηδὲν διακρινόμενος, ὅτι ἐγὼ ἀπέσταλκα αὐτούς.

21 καταβὰς δὲ πέτρος πρὸς τοὺς ἄνδρας εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ ἐγώ εἰμι ὃν ζητεῖτε· τίς ἡ αἰτία δι᾽ ἣν πάρεστε;

22 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν, κορνήλιος ἑκατοντάρχης, ἀνὴρ δίκαιος καὶ φοβούμενος τὸν θεὸν μαρτυρούμενός τε ὑπὸ ὅλου τοῦ ἔθνους τῶν ἰουδαίων, ἐχρηματίσθη ὑπὸ ἀγγέλου ἁγίου μεταπέμψασθαί σε εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀκοῦσαι ῥήματα παρὰ σοῦ.

23 εἰσκαλεσάμενος οὗν αὐτοὺς ἐξένισεν. τῇ δὲ ἐπαύριον ἀναστὰς ἐξῆλθεν σὺν αὐτοῖς, καί τινες τῶν ἀδελφῶν τῶν ἀπὸ ἰόππης συνῆλθον αὐτῶ.

24 τῇ δὲ ἐπαύριον εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν καισάρειαν· ὁ δὲ κορνήλιος ἦν προσδοκῶν αὐτούς, συγκαλεσάμενος τοὺς συγγενεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἀναγκαίους φίλους.

25 ὡς δὲ ἐγένετο τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν τὸν πέτρον, συναντήσας αὐτῶ ὁ κορνήλιος πεσὼν ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας προσεκύνησεν.

26 ὁ δὲ πέτρος ἤγειρεν αὐτὸν λέγων, ἀνάστηθι· καὶ ἐγὼ αὐτὸς ἄνθρωπός εἰμι.

27 καὶ συνομιλῶν αὐτῶ εἰσῆλθεν, καὶ εὑρίσκει συνεληλυθότας πολλούς,

28 ἔφη τε πρὸς αὐτούς, ὑμεῖς ἐπίστασθε ὡς ἀθέμιτόν ἐστιν ἀνδρὶ ἰουδαίῳ κολλᾶσθαι ἢ προσέρχεσθαι ἀλλοφύλῳ· κἀμοὶ ὁ θεὸς ἔδειξεν μηδένα κοινὸν ἢ ἀκάθαρτον λέγειν ἄνθρωπον·

29 διὸ καὶ ἀναντιρρήτως ἦλθον μεταπεμφθείς. πυνθάνομαι οὗν τίνι λόγῳ μετεπέμψασθέ με;

30 καὶ ὁ κορνήλιος ἔφη, ἀπὸ τετάρτης ἡμέρας μέχρι ταύτης τῆς ὥρας ἤμην τὴν ἐνάτην προσευχόμενος ἐν τῶ οἴκῳ μου, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ἔστη ἐνώπιόν μου ἐν ἐσθῆτι λαμπρᾷ

31 καὶ φησίν, κορνήλιε, εἰσηκούσθη σου ἡ προσευχὴ καὶ αἱ ἐλεημοσύναι σου ἐμνήσθησαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ.

32 πέμψον οὗν εἰς ἰόππην καὶ μετακάλεσαι σίμωνα ὃς ἐπικαλεῖται πέτρος· οὖτος ξενίζεται ἐν οἰκίᾳ σίμωνος βυρσέως παρὰ θάλασσαν.

33 ἐξαυτῆς οὗν ἔπεμψα πρὸς σέ, σύ τε καλῶς ἐποίησας παραγενόμενος. νῦν οὗν πάντες ἡμεῖς ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ πάρεσμεν ἀκοῦσαι πάντα τὰ προστεταγμένα σοι ὑπὸ τοῦ κυρίου.

34 ἀνοίξας δὲ πέτρος τὸ στόμα εἶπεν, ἐπ᾽ ἀληθείας καταλαμβάνομαι ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν προσωπολήμπτης ὁ θεός,

35 ἀλλ᾽ ἐν παντὶ ἔθνει ὁ φοβούμενος αὐτὸν καὶ ἐργαζόμενος δικαιοσύνην δεκτὸς αὐτῶ ἐστιν.

36 τὸν λόγον [ὃν] ἀπέστειλεν τοῖς υἱοῖς ἰσραὴλ εὐαγγελιζόμενος εἰρήνην διὰ ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ _ οὖτός ἐστιν πάντων κύριος _

37 ὑμεῖς οἴδατε, τὸ γενόμενον ῥῆμα καθ᾽ ὅλης τῆς ἰουδαίας, ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τῆς γαλιλαίας μετὰ τὸ βάπτισμα ὃ ἐκήρυξεν ἰωάννης,

38 ἰησοῦν τὸν ἀπὸ ναζαρέθ, ὡς ἔχρισεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεὸς πνεύματι ἁγίῳ καὶ δυνάμει, ὃς διῆλθεν εὐεργετῶν καὶ ἰώμενος πάντας τοὺς καταδυναστευομένους ὑπὸ τοῦ διαβόλου, ὅτι ὁ θεὸς ἦν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ.

39 καὶ ἡμεῖς μάρτυρες πάντων ὧν ἐποίησεν ἔν τε τῇ χώρᾳ τῶν ἰουδαίων καὶ [ἐν] ἰερουσαλήμ· ὃν καὶ ἀνεῖλαν κρεμάσαντες ἐπὶ ξύλου.

40 τοῦτον ὁ θεὸς ἤγειρεν [ἐν] τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν ἐμφανῆ γενέσθαι,

41 οὐ παντὶ τῶ λαῶ ἀλλὰ μάρτυσιν τοῖς προκεχειροτονημένοις ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ, ἡμῖν, οἵτινες συνεφάγομεν καὶ συνεπίομεν αὐτῶ μετὰ τὸ ἀναστῆναι αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν·

42 καὶ παρήγγειλεν ἡμῖν κηρύξαι τῶ λαῶ καὶ διαμαρτύρασθαι ὅτι οὖτός ἐστιν ὁ ὡρισμένος ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ κριτὴς ζώντων καὶ νεκρῶν.

43 τούτῳ πάντες οἱ προφῆται μαρτυροῦσιν, ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν λαβεῖν διὰ τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ πάντα τὸν πιστεύοντα εἰς αὐτόν.

44 ἔτι λαλοῦντος τοῦ πέτρου τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα ἐπέπεσεν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀκούοντας τὸν λόγον.

45 καὶ ἐξέστησαν οἱ ἐκ περιτομῆς πιστοὶ ὅσοι συνῆλθαν τῶ πέτρῳ, ὅτι καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἔθνη ἡ δωρεὰ τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος ἐκκέχυται·

46 ἤκουον γὰρ αὐτῶν λαλούντων γλώσσαις καὶ μεγαλυνόντων τὸν θεόν. τότε ἀπεκρίθη πέτρος,

47 μήτι τὸ ὕδωρ δύναται κωλῦσαί τις τοῦ μὴ βαπτισθῆναι τούτους οἵτινες τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον ἔλαβον ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς;

48 προσέταξεν δὲ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῶ ὀνόματι ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ βαπτισθῆναι. τότε ἠρώτησαν αὐτὸν ἐπιμεῖναι ἡμέρας τινάς.

1  There¹¹⁶¹ was²²⁵⁸ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ man⁴³⁵ in¹⁷²² Caesarea²⁵⁴² called³⁶⁸⁶ Cornelius,²⁸⁸³ a centurion¹⁵⁴³ of¹⁵³⁷ the band⁴⁶⁸⁶ called²⁵⁶⁴ the Italian²⁴⁸³ band,

2  A devout²¹⁵² man, and²⁵³² one that feared⁵³⁹⁹ God²³¹⁶ with⁴⁸⁶² all³⁹⁵⁶ his⁸⁴⁸ house,³⁶²⁴ which⁵⁰³⁷ gave⁴¹⁶⁰ much⁴¹⁸³ alms¹⁶⁵⁴ to the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² and²⁵³² prayed¹¹⁸⁹ to God²³¹⁶ always.¹²⁷⁵

3  He saw¹⁴⁹² in¹⁷²² a vision³⁷⁰⁵ evidently⁵³²⁰ about⁵⁶¹⁶ the ninth¹⁷⁶⁶ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ day²²⁵⁰ an angel³² of God²³¹⁶ coming in¹⁵²⁵ to⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² saying²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Cornelius.²⁸⁸³

4  And¹¹⁶¹ when he³⁵⁸⁸ looked⁸¹⁶ on him,⁸⁴⁶ he²⁵³² was¹⁰⁹⁶ afraid,¹⁷¹⁹ and said,²⁰³⁶ What⁵¹⁰¹ is²⁰⁷⁶ it, Lord?²⁹⁶² And¹¹⁶¹ he said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ prayers⁴³³⁵ and²⁵³² thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ alms¹⁶⁵⁴ are come up³⁰⁵ for¹⁵¹⁹ a memorial³⁴²² before¹⁷⁹⁹ God.²³¹⁶

5  And²⁵³² now³⁵⁶⁸ send³⁹⁹² men⁴³⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ Joppa,²⁴⁴⁵ and²⁵³² call for³³⁴³ one Simon,⁴⁶¹³ whose³⁷³⁹ surname is¹⁹⁴¹ Peter:⁴⁰⁷⁴

6  He³⁷⁷⁸ lodgeth³⁵⁷⁹ with³⁸⁴⁴ one⁵¹⁰⁰ Simon⁴⁶¹³ a tanner,¹⁰³⁸ whose³⁷³⁹ house³⁶¹⁴ is²⁰⁷⁶ by³⁸⁴⁴ the sea side:²²⁸¹ he³⁷⁷⁸ shall tell²⁹⁸⁰ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ what⁵¹⁰¹ thou⁴⁵⁷¹ oughtest¹¹⁶³ to do.⁴¹⁶⁰

7  And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ angel³² which spake²⁹⁸⁰ unto Cornelius²⁸⁸³ was departed,⁵⁶⁵ he called⁵⁴⁵⁵ two¹⁴¹⁷ of his⁸⁴⁸ household servants,³⁶¹⁰ and²⁵³² a devout²¹⁵² soldier⁴⁷⁵⁷ of them that waited on him continually;^{4342 846}

8  And²⁵³² when he had declared¹⁸³⁴ all⁵³⁷ these things unto them,⁸⁴⁶ he sent⁶⁴⁹ them⁸⁴⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ Joppa.²⁴⁴⁵

9  On¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ morrow,¹⁸⁸⁷ as they¹⁵⁶⁵ went on their journey,³⁵⁹⁶ and²⁵³² drew nigh¹⁴⁴⁸ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ city,⁴¹⁷² Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ went up³⁰⁵ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ housetop¹⁴³⁰ to pray⁴³³⁶ about⁴⁰¹² the sixth¹⁶²³ hour:⁵⁶¹⁰

10  And¹¹⁶¹ he became¹⁰⁹⁶ very hungry,⁴³⁶¹ and²⁵³² would²³⁰⁹ have eaten:¹⁰⁸⁹ but¹¹⁶¹ while they¹⁵⁶⁵ made ready,³⁹⁰³ he fell¹⁹⁶⁸ into¹⁹⁰⁹ a⁸⁴⁶ trance,¹⁶¹¹

11  And²⁵³² saw²³³⁴ heaven³⁷⁷² opened,⁴⁵⁵ and²⁵³² a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ vessel⁴⁶³² descending²⁵⁹⁷ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ him,⁸⁴⁶ as it had been⁵⁶¹³ a great³¹⁷³ sheet³⁶⁰⁷ knit¹²¹⁰ at the four⁵⁰⁶⁴ corners,⁷⁴⁶ and²⁵³² let down²⁵²⁴ to¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth:¹⁰⁹³

12  Wherein^{1722 3739} were⁵²²⁵ all manner³⁹⁵⁶ of fourfooted beasts⁵⁰⁷⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth,¹⁰⁹³ and²⁵³² wild beasts,²³⁴² and²⁵³² creeping things,²⁰⁶² and²⁵³² fowls⁴⁰⁷¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ air.³⁷⁷²

13  And²⁵³² there came¹⁰⁹⁶ a voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ to⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ Rise,⁴⁵⁰ Peter;⁴⁰⁷⁴ kill,²³⁸⁰ and²⁵³² eat.⁵³¹⁵

14  But¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ said,²⁰³⁶ Not so,³³⁶⁵ Lord;²⁹⁶² for³⁷⁵⁴ I have never³⁷⁶³ eaten⁵³¹⁵ any thing³⁹⁵⁶ that is common²⁸³⁹ or²²²⁸ unclean.¹⁶⁹

15  And²⁵³² the voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ spake unto⁴³¹⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ again³⁸²⁵ the¹⁵³⁷ second time,¹²⁰⁸ What³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ hath cleansed,²⁵¹¹ that call not thou common.^{2840 3361 4771}

16  ¹¹⁶¹ This⁵¹²⁴ was¹⁰⁹⁶ done¹⁹⁰⁹ thrice:⁵¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ vessel⁴⁶³² was received up³⁵³ again³⁸²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ heaven.³⁷⁷²

17  Now¹¹⁶¹ while⁵⁶¹³ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ doubted¹²⁸⁰ in¹⁷²² himself¹⁴³⁸ what⁵¹⁰¹ this vision³⁷⁰⁵ which³⁷³⁹ he had seen¹⁴⁹² should mean,^{1498 302 2532} behold,²⁴⁰⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ men⁴³⁵ which were sent⁶⁴⁹ from⁵⁷⁵ Cornelius²⁸⁸³ had made inquiry¹³³¹ for Simon's⁴⁶¹³ house,³⁶¹⁴ and stood²¹⁸⁶ before¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ gate,⁴⁴⁴⁰

18  And²⁵³² called,⁵⁴⁵⁵ and asked⁴⁴⁴¹ whether¹⁴⁸⁷ Simon,⁴⁶¹³ which was surnamed¹⁹⁴¹ Peter,⁴⁰⁷⁴ were lodged³⁵⁷⁹ there.¹⁷⁵⁹

19  While¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ thought¹⁷⁶⁰ on⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ vision,³⁷⁰⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ three⁵¹⁴⁰ men⁴³⁵ seek²²¹² thee.⁴⁵⁷¹

20  Arise⁴⁵⁰ therefore,²³⁵ and get thee down,²⁵⁹⁷ and²⁵³² go⁴¹⁹⁸ with⁴⁸⁶² them,⁸⁴⁶ doubting¹²⁵² nothing:³³⁶⁷ for¹³⁶⁰ I¹⁴⁷³ have sent⁶⁴⁹ them.⁸⁴⁶

21  Then¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ went down²⁵⁹⁷ to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ men⁴³⁵ which were sent⁶⁴⁹ unto⁴³¹⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ Cornelius;²⁸⁸³ and said,²⁰³⁶ Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ he whom³⁷³⁹ ye seek:²²¹² what⁵¹⁰¹ is the³⁵⁸⁸ cause¹⁵⁶ wherefore^{1223 3739} ye are come?³⁹¹⁸

22  And¹¹⁶¹ they³⁵⁸⁸ said,²⁰³⁶ Cornelius²⁸⁸³ the centurion,¹⁵⁴³ a just¹³⁴² man,⁴³⁵ and²⁵³² one that feareth⁵³⁹⁹ God,²³¹⁶ and⁵⁰³⁷ of good report³¹⁴⁰ among⁵²⁵⁹ all³⁶⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ nation¹⁴⁸⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews,²⁴⁵³ was warned from God⁵⁵³⁷ by⁵²⁵⁹ a holy⁴⁰ angel³² to send for³³⁴³ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ house,³⁶²⁴ and²⁵³² to hear¹⁹¹ words⁴⁴⁸⁷ of³⁸⁴⁴ thee.⁴⁶⁷⁵

23  Then³⁷⁶⁷ called he them in,^{1528 846} and lodged³⁵⁷⁹ them. And¹¹⁶¹ on the³⁵⁸⁸ morrow¹⁸⁸⁷ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ went away¹⁸³¹ with⁴⁸⁶² them,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² certain⁵¹⁰⁰ brethren⁸⁰ from⁵⁷⁵ Joppa²⁴⁴⁵ accompanied⁴⁹⁰⁵ him.⁸⁴⁶

24  And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ morrow after¹⁸⁸⁷ they entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ Caesarea.²⁵⁴² And¹¹⁶¹ Cornelius²⁸⁸³ waited for^{2258 4328} them,⁸⁴⁶ and had called together⁴⁷⁷⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ kinsmen⁴⁷⁷³ and²⁵³² near³¹⁶ friends.⁵³⁸⁴

25  And¹¹⁶¹ as⁵⁶¹³ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ was¹⁰⁹⁶ coming in,¹⁵²⁵ Cornelius²⁸⁸³ met⁴⁸⁷⁶ him,⁸⁴⁶ and fell down⁴⁰⁹⁸ at¹⁹⁰⁹ his feet,⁴²²⁸ and worshipped⁴³⁵² him.

26  But¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ took him up,^{1453 846} saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Stand up;⁴⁵⁰ I myself also^{2504 846} am¹⁵¹⁰ a man.⁴⁴⁴

27  And²⁵³² as he talked with⁴⁹²⁶ him,⁸⁴⁶ he went in,¹⁵²⁵ and²⁵³² found²¹⁴⁷ many⁴¹⁸³ that were come together.⁴⁹⁰⁵

28  And⁵⁰³⁷ he said⁵³⁴⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ Ye⁵²¹⁰ know¹⁹⁸⁷ how⁵⁶¹³ that it is²⁰⁷⁶ an unlawful thing¹¹¹ for a man⁴³⁵ that is a Jew²⁴⁵³ to keep company,²⁸⁵³ or²²²⁸ come unto⁴³³⁴ one of another nation;²⁴⁶ but²⁵³² God²³¹⁶ hath showed¹¹⁶⁶ me¹⁶⁹⁸ that I should not call³⁰⁰⁴ any³³⁶⁷ man⁴⁴⁴ common²⁸³⁹ or²²²⁸ unclean.¹⁶⁹

29  Therefore^{1352 2532} came²⁰⁶⁴ I unto you without gainsaying,³⁶⁹ as soon as I was sent for:³³⁴³ I ask⁴⁴⁴¹ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ for what⁵¹⁰¹ intent³⁰⁵⁶ ye have sent for³³⁴³ me?³¹⁶⁵

30  And²⁵³² Cornelius²⁸⁸³ said,⁵³⁴⁶ Four⁵⁰⁶⁷ days²²⁵⁰ ago⁵⁷⁵ I was²²⁵² fasting³⁵²² until³³⁶⁰ this⁵⁰²⁶ hour;⁵⁶¹⁰ and²⁵³² at the³⁵⁸⁸ ninth¹⁷⁶⁶ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ I prayed⁴³³⁶ in¹⁷²² my³⁴⁵⁰ house,³⁶²⁴ and,²⁵³² behold,²⁴⁰⁰ a man⁴³⁵ stood²⁴⁷⁶ before¹⁷⁹⁹ me³⁴⁵⁰ in¹⁷²² bright²⁹⁸⁶ clothing,²⁰⁶⁶

31  And²⁵³² said,⁵³⁴⁶ Cornelius,²⁸⁸³ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ prayer⁴³³⁵ is heard,¹⁵²² and²⁵³² thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ alms¹⁶⁵⁴ are had in remembrance³⁴¹⁵ in the sight¹⁷⁹⁹ of God.²³¹⁶

32  Send³⁹⁹² therefore³⁷⁶⁷ to¹⁵¹⁹ Joppa,²⁴⁴⁵ and²⁵³² call hither³³³³ Simon,⁴⁶¹³ whose³⁷³⁹ surname is¹⁹⁴¹ Peter;⁴⁰⁷⁴ he³⁷⁷⁸ is lodged³⁵⁷⁹ in¹⁷²² the house³⁶¹⁴ of one Simon⁴⁶¹³ a tanner¹⁰³⁸ by³⁸⁴⁴ the sea side:²²⁸¹ who,³⁷³⁹ when he cometh,³⁸⁵⁴ shall speak²⁹⁸⁰ unto thee.⁴⁶⁷¹

33  Immediately¹⁸²⁴ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ I sent³⁹⁹² to⁴³¹⁴ thee;⁴⁵⁷¹ and⁵⁰³⁷ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ hast well²⁵⁷³ done⁴¹⁶⁰ that thou art come.³⁸⁵⁴ Now³⁵⁶⁸ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ are we all here present^{3918 2249 3956} before¹⁷⁹⁹ God,²³¹⁶ to hear¹⁹¹ all things³⁹⁵⁶ that are commanded⁴³⁶⁷ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ of⁵²⁵⁹ God.²³¹⁶

34  Then¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ opened⁴⁵⁵ his mouth,⁴⁷⁵⁰ and said,²⁰³⁶ Of¹⁹⁰⁹ a truth²²⁵ I perceive²⁶³⁸ that³⁷⁵⁴ God²³¹⁶ is²⁰⁷⁶ no³⁷⁵⁶ respecter of persons:⁴³⁸¹

35  But²³⁵ in¹⁷²² every³⁹⁵⁶ nation¹⁴⁸⁴ he that feareth⁵³⁹⁹ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² worketh²⁰³⁸ righteousness,¹³⁴³ is²⁰⁷⁶ accepted¹¹⁸⁴ with him.⁸⁴⁶

36  The³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ which³⁷³⁹ God sent⁶⁴⁹ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ children⁵²⁰⁷ of Israel,²⁴⁷⁴ preaching²⁰⁹⁷ peace¹⁵¹⁵ by¹²²³ Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ:⁵⁵⁴⁷ (he³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ Lord²⁹⁶² of all:)³⁹⁵⁶

37  That word,⁴⁴⁸⁷ I say, ye⁵²¹⁰ know,¹⁴⁹² which was published¹⁰⁹⁶ throughout²⁵⁹⁶ all³⁶⁵⁰ Judea,²⁴⁴⁹ and began⁷⁵⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ Galilee,¹⁰⁵⁶ after³³²⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ baptism⁹⁰⁸ which³⁷³⁹ John²⁴⁹¹ preached;²⁷⁸⁴

38  How⁵⁶¹³ God²³¹⁶ anointed⁵⁵⁴⁸ Jesus²⁴²⁴ of⁵⁷⁵ Nazareth³⁴⁷⁸ with the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² with power:¹⁴¹¹ who³⁷³⁹ went about¹³³⁰ doing good,²¹⁰⁹ and²⁵³² healing²³⁹⁰ all³⁹⁵⁶ that were oppressed²⁶¹⁶ of⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ devil;¹²²⁸ for³⁷⁵⁴ God²³¹⁶ was²²⁵⁸ with³³²⁶ him.⁸⁴⁶

39  And²⁵³² we²²⁴⁹ are²⁰⁷⁰ witnesses³¹⁴⁴ of all things³⁹⁵⁶ which³⁷³⁹ he did⁴¹⁶⁰ both⁵⁰³⁷ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ land⁵⁵⁶¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews,²⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² in¹⁷²² Jerusalem;²⁴¹⁹ whom³⁷³⁹ they slew³³⁷ and hanged²⁹¹⁰ on¹⁹⁰⁹ a tree:³⁵⁸⁶

40  Him⁵¹²⁶ God²³¹⁶ raised up¹⁴⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ third⁵¹⁵⁴ day,²²⁵⁰ and²⁵³² showed him openly;^{1325 846 1096 1717}

41  Not³⁷⁵⁶ to all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² but²³⁵ unto witnesses³¹⁴⁴ chosen before⁴⁴⁰¹ of⁵²⁵⁹ God,²³¹⁶ even to us,²²⁵⁴ who³⁷⁴⁸ did eat⁴⁹⁰⁶ and²⁵³² drink with⁴⁸⁴⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ after he⁸⁴⁶ rose⁴⁵⁰ from¹⁵³⁷ the dead.³⁴⁹⁸

42  And²⁵³² he commanded³⁸⁵³ us²²⁵⁴ to preach²⁷⁸⁴ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² and²⁵³² to testify¹²⁶³ that³⁷⁵⁴ it is²⁰⁷⁶ he⁸⁴⁶ which was ordained³⁷²⁴ of⁵²⁵⁹ God²³¹⁶ to be the Judge²⁹²³ of quick²¹⁹⁸ and²⁵³² dead.³⁴⁹⁸

43  To him⁵¹²⁹ give all the prophets witness,^{3140 3956 3588 4396} that through¹²²³ his⁸⁴⁶ name³⁶⁸⁶ whosoever³⁹⁵⁶ believeth⁴¹⁰⁰ in¹⁵¹⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ shall receive²⁹⁸³ remission⁸⁵⁹ of sins.²⁶⁶

44  While Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ yet²⁰⁸⁹ spake²⁹⁸⁰ these⁵⁰²³ words,⁴⁴⁸⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ fell¹⁹⁶⁸ on¹⁹⁰⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ them which heard¹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word.³⁰⁵⁶

45  And²⁵³² they of the circumcision which believed^{4103 1537 4061} were astonished,¹⁸³⁹ as many as³⁷⁴⁵ came with⁴⁹⁰⁵ Peter,⁴⁰⁷⁴ because³⁷⁵⁴ that on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴ also²⁵³² was poured out¹⁶³² the³⁵⁸⁸ gift¹⁴³¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost.⁴¹⁵¹

46  For¹⁰⁶³ they heard¹⁹¹ them⁸⁴⁶ speak²⁹⁸⁰ with tongues,¹¹⁰⁰ and²⁵³² magnify³¹⁷⁰ God.²³¹⁶ Then⁵¹¹⁹ answered⁶¹¹ Peter,⁴⁰⁷⁴

47  Can¹⁴¹⁰ any man⁵¹⁰⁰ forbid^{2967 3385} water,⁵²⁰⁴ that these⁵¹²⁸ should not³³⁶¹ be baptized,⁹⁰⁷ which³⁷⁴⁸ have received²⁹⁸³ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ as well as^{2531 2532} we?²²⁴⁹

48  And⁵⁰³⁷ he commanded⁴³⁶⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ to be baptized⁹⁰⁷ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord.²⁹⁶² Then⁵¹¹⁹ prayed²⁰⁶⁵ they him⁸⁴⁶ to tarry¹⁹⁶¹ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ days.²²⁵⁰

Vul

1 Vir autem quidam erat in Cæsarea, nomine Cornelius, centurio cohortis quæ dicitur Italica,

2 religiosus, ac timens Deum cum omni domo sua, faciens eleemosynas multas plebi, et deprecans Deum semper.

3 Is vidit in visu manifeste, quasi hora diei nona, angelum Dei introëuntem ad se, et dicentem sibi: Corneli.

4 At ille intuens eum, timore correptus, dixit: Quid est, domine? Dixit autem illi: Orationes tuæ et eleemosynæ tuæ ascenderunt in memoriam in conspectu Dei.

5 Et nunc mitte viros in Joppen, et accersi Simonem quemdam, qui cognominatur Petrus:

6 hic hospitatur apud Simonem quemdam coriarium, cujus est domus juxta mare: hic dicet tibi quid te oporteat facere.

7 Et cum discessisset angelus qui loquebatur illi, vocavit duos domesticos suos, et militem metuentem Dominum ex his qui illi parebant.

8 Quibus cum narrasset omnia, misit illos in Joppen.

9 Postera autem die, iter illis facientibus, et appropinquantibus civitati, ascendit Petrus in superiora ut oraret circa horam sextam.

10 Et cum esuriret, voluit gustare. Parantibus autem illis, cecidit super eum mentis excessus:

11 et vidit cælum apertum, et descendens vas quoddam, velut linteum magnum, quatuor initiis submitti de cælo in terram,

12 in quo erant omnia quadrupedia, et serpentia terræ, et volatilia cæli.

13 Et facta est vox ad eum: Surge, Petre: occide, et manduca.

14 Ait autem Petrus: Absit Domine, quia numquam manducavi omne commune et immundum.

15 Et vox iterum secundo ad eum: Quod Deus purificavit, tu commune ne dixeris.

16 Hoc autem factum est per ter: et statim receptum est vas in cælum.

17 Et dum intra se hæsitaret Petrus quidnam esset visio quam vidisset, ecce viri qui missi erant a Cornelio, inquirentes domum Simonis astiterunt ad januam.

18 Et cum vocassent, interrogabant, si Simon qui cognominatur Petrus illic haberet hospitium.

19 Petro autem cogitante de visione, dixit Spiritus ei: Ecce viri tres quærunt te.

20 Surge itaque, descende, et vade cum eis nihil dubitans: quia ego misi illos.

21 Descendens autem Petrus ad viros, dixit: Ecce ego sum, quem quæritis: quæ causa est, propter quam venistis?

22 Qui dixerunt: Cornelius centurio, vir justus et timens Deum, et testimonium habens ab universa gente Judæorum, responsum accepit ab angelo sancto accersire te in domum suam, et audire verba abs te.

23 Introducens ergo eos, recepit hospitio. Sequenti autem die, surgens profectus est cum illis, et quidam ex fratribus ab Joppe comitati sunt eum.

24 Altera autem die introivit Cæsaream. Cornelius vero exspectabat illos, convocatis cognatis suis et necessariis amicis.

25 Et factum est cum introisset Petrus, obvius venit ei Cornelius, et procidens ad pedes ejus adoravit.

26 Petrus vero elevavit eum, dicens: Surge: et ego ipse homo sum.

27 Et loquens cum illo intravit, et invenit multos qui convenerant:

28 dixitque ad illos: Vos scitis quomodo abominatum sit viro Judæo conjungi aut accedere ad alienigenam: sed mihi ostendit Deus neminem communem aut immundum dicere hominem.

29 Propter quod sine dubitatione veni accersitus. Interrogo ergo, quam ob causam accersistis me?

30 Et Cornelius ait: A nudiusquarta die usque ad hanc horam, orans eram hora nona in domo mea, et ecce vir stetit ante me in veste candida, et ait:

31 Corneli, exaudita est oratio tua, et eleemosynæ tuæ commemoratæ sunt in conspectu Dei.

32 Mitte ergo in Joppen, et accersi Simonem qui cognominatur Petrus: hic hospitatur in domo Simonis coriarii juxta mare.

33 Confestim ergo misi ad te: et tu benefecisti veniendo. Nunc ergo omnes nos in conspectu tuo adsumus audire omnia quæcumque tibi præcepta sunt a Domino.

34 Aperiens autem Petrus os suum, dixit: In veritate comperi quia non est personarum acceptor Deus;

35 sed in omni gente qui timet eum, et operatur justitiam, acceptus est illi.

36 Verbum misit Deus filiis Israël, annuntians pacem per Jesum Christum (hic est omnium Dominus).

37 Vos scitis quod factum est verbum per universam Judæam: incipiens enim a Galilæa post baptismum quod prædicavit Joannes,

38 Jesum a Nazareth: quomodo unxit eum Deus Spiritu Sancto, et virtute, qui pertransiit benefaciendo, et sanando omnes oppressos a diabolo, quoniam Deus erat cum illo.

39 Et nos testes sumus omnium quæ fecit in regione Judæorum, et Jerusalem, quem occiderunt suspendentes in ligno.

40 Hunc Deus suscitavit tertia die, et dedit eum manifestum fieri,

41 non omni populo, sed testibus præordinatis a Deo: nobis, qui manducavimus et bibimus cum illo postquam resurrexit a mortuis.

42 Et præcepit nobis prædicare populo, et testificari, quia ipse est qui constitutus est a Deo judex vivorum et mortuorum.

43 Huic omnes prophetæ testimonium perhibent remissionem peccatorum accipere per nomen ejus omnes qui credunt in eum.

44 Adhuc loquente Petro verba hæc, cecidit Spiritus Sanctus super omnes qui audiebant verbum.

45 Et obstupuerunt ex circumcisione fideles qui venerant cum Petro, quia et in nationes gratia Spiritus Sancti effusa est.

46 Audiebant enim illos loquentes linguis, et magnificantes Deum.

47 Tunc respondit Petrus: Numquid aquam quis prohibere potest ut non baptizentur hi qui Spiritum Sanctum acceperunt sicut et nos?

48 Et jussit eos baptizari in nomine Domini Jesu Christi. Tunc rogaverunt eum ut maneret apud eos aliquot diebus.
