Chapter 10, verses 19-29
19
While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
20
But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing
21
Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
22
They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”
23
So he called them in and lodged them. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
24
On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
25
When it happened that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
26
But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
27
As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
28
He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.
29
Therefore also I came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
