New TestamentActsCornelius Sends for Peter · 10:1–810:1 There was a certain man in Cæsarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,10:2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.10:3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.10:4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.10:5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:10:6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.10:7 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;10:8 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
