44:010:025 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down
at his feet, and worshipped him.
44:010:026 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a
man.
44:010:027 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that
were come together.
44:010:028 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful
thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto
one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should
not call any man common or unclean.
44:010:029 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was
sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
44:010:030 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this
hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold,
a man stood before me in bright clothing,
44:010:031 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are
had in remembrance in the sight of God.
44:010:032 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname
is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by
the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
44:010:033 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done
that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present
before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
44:010:034 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive
that God is no respecter of persons:
44:010:035 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh
righteousness, is accepted with him.
44:010:036 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching
peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
44:010:037 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all
Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John
preached;
44:010:038 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and
with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that
were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
44:010:039 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the
land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged
on a tree:
44:010:040 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
44:010:041 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God,
even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from
the dead.
44:010:042 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify
that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of
quick and dead.
44:010:043 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name
whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
