43 And it came to pass that he remained many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
Acts 10
1 But a man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italian,
2 devout and fearing God with all his house who gave many charities to the people and prayed to God
always,
3 saw in a vision, evidently about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him and
saying to him: Cornelius.
4 But looking earnestly on him and becoming afraid, he said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy
prayers and thy charities have come up for a memorial before God.
5 And now, send men to Joppa and call for one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
6 he lodges with one Simon, a tanner, who has a house by the sea.
7 And when the angel that spoke to him had gone away, he called two of the household servants, and a
devout soldier of those that waited on him,
8 and having made known all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 But on the morrow, as they went on their way and drew near to the city. Peter went up on the housetop
to pray, about the sixth hour.
10 And he became very hungry and desired to eat. But while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11 and saw heaven opened, and some vessel, like a great sheet, descending, let down by the four corners
upon the earth:
12 in which were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and birds of the
heaven.
13 And there came a voice to him: Rise, Peter, kill and eat.
14 But Peter said: By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything common and unclean.
15 And a voice came again a second time to him: The things that God has cleansed call thou not
common.
16 And this was done three times, and immediately the vessel was taken up into heaven.
17 But while Peter was doubting in himself, what the vision that he had seen might be, behold, the men
that had been sent by Cornelius, having inquired for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
18 and, calling, asked if Simon who is surnamed Peter lodged there.
19 But while Peter carefully considered about the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold, men seek thee;
20 but arise and go down, and go with them, doubting nothing, for I have sent them.
21 And Peter went down to the men and said: Behold, I am he whom you seek: what is the cause for
which you are present?
22 And they said: Cornelius, a centurion, a man just and fearing God, well reported of also by all the
nation of the Jews, was warned by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and to hear words from
thee.
23 Having called them in therefore, he lodged them. But on the morrow he arose and went forth with
them; and some of the brethren that were of Joppa accompanied him.
24 And on the next day he entered into Caesarea; and Cornelius was looking for him, having called
together his relatives and near friends.
25 But as Peter went in, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet and worshipped.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying: Stand up: I myself also am a man.
27 And conversing with him, he went in, and found many that had come together,
28 and said to them: You know that it is not lawful for a man a Jew to join himself to or go in to one of
another race; yet God has showed me that I must call no man common or unclean:
29 wherefore, having been sent for, I came also without objecting. I ask therefore, for what purpose have
you sent for me?
30 And Cornelius said: Four days ago up to this hour, was I at the ninth praying in my house; and
behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 and said: Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy charities are remembered before God.
32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon
a tanner, by the sea.
33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore we all are
present before God, to hear all things that have been commanded thee by the Lord.
34 And Peter opened his mouth and said: In truth, I comprehend that God is not a respecter of persons,
35 but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him,
36 the word that he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ: he is Lord of all.
37 You know the word that was published throughout the whole of Judea, beginning from Galilee after
the baptism which John preached,
38 JESUS OF NAZARETH, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and power, who went about
doing good and giving health to all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him;
39 and we are witnesses of all things that he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem: whom they
slew by hanging upon a tree.
40 This man God raised on the third day and made him manifest,
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses that were before appointed by God, to us who
34 ate and drank with him after he had risen from the dead;
42 and he charged us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he that has been appointed by God
as judge of living and dead. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
