Acts 10 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Cornelius’ Vision

Now^G1161 there was a man^G435 in Caesarea^G2542 named^G3686 Cornelius^G2883, a centurion^G1543 of what was called^G2564 the Italian^G2483 [fn]cohort^G4686,

Act 10:2

Act 10:2a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, and made many charitable contributions to the Jewish people and prayed to God continually.

Act 10:3

Act 10:3About the [fn]ninth hour of the day he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God who had just come in and said to him, “Cornelius!”

Act 10:4

Act 10:4And he looked at him intently and became terrified, and said, “What is it, lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and charitable gifts have ascended as a memorial offering before God.

Act 10:5

Act 10:5“Now dispatch some men to Joppa and send for a man named Simon, who is also called Peter;

Act 10:6

Act 10:6he is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the sea.”

Act 10:7

Act 10:7When the angel who *spoke to him left, he summoned two of his [fn]servants and a devout soldier from his personal attendants,

Act 10:8

Act 10:8and after he had explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

Act 10:9

On the next^G1887 day^G1887, as they were on their way^G3596 and approaching^G1448 the city^G4172, Peter^G4074 went^G305 up^G305 on the [fn]housetop^G1430 about^G4012 [fn]the sixth^G1623 hour^G5610 to pray^G4336.

Act 10:10

Act 10:10But he became hungry and wanted to eat; but while they were making preparations, he fell into a trance;

Act 10:11

Act 10:11and he *saw the sky opened up, and an [fn]object like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground,

Act 10:12

Act 10:12and on it were all kinds of four-footed animals and [fn]crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the sky.

Act 10:13

Act 10:13A voice came to him, “Get up, Peter, [fn]kill and eat!”

Act 10:14

Act 10:14But Peter said, “By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything [fn]unholy and unclean.”

Act 10:15

Act 10:15Again a voice came to him a second time, “What God has cleansed, no longer [fn]consider unholy.”

Act 10:16

Act 10:16This happened three times, and immediately the [fn]object was taken up into the sky.

Act 10:17

Now^G1161 while^G5613 Peter^G4074 was greatly^G1280 perplexed^G1280 in [fn]mind^G1438 as to what^G5101 the vision^G3705 which^G3739 he had seen^G3708 might [fn]mean, behold^G2400, the men^G435 who had been sent^G649 by Cornelius^G2883 had asked^G1331 directions^G1331 to Simon’s^G4613 house^G3614, and they appeared^G2186 at the gate^G4440;

Act 10:18

Act 10:18and calling out, they were asking whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was staying there.

Act 10:19

Act 10:19While Peter was reflecting on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, [fn]three men are looking for you.

Act 10:20

Act 10:20“But get up, go downstairs and accompany them [fn]without misgivings, for I have sent them Myself.”

Act 10:21

Act 10:21Peter went down to the men and said, “Behold, I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason for which you have come?”

Act 10:22

Act 10:22They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man well spoken of by the entire nation of the Jews, was divinely directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and hear [fn]a message from you.”

Act 10:23

Act 10:23So he invited them in and gave them lodging.

Now on the next^G1887 day^G1887 he got^G450 ready^G450 and went^G1831 away^G1831 with them, and some^G5100 of the brothers^G80 from Joppa^G2445 accompanied^G4905 him.

Act 10:24

Act 10:24On the following day he entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

Act 10:25

Act 10:25When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell at his feet and [fn]worshiped him.

Act 10:26

Act 10:26But Peter helped him up, saying, “Stand up; I, too, am just a man.”

Act 10:27

Act 10:27As he talked with him, he entered and *found many people assembled.

Act 10:28

Act 10:28And he said to them, “You yourselves know that it is forbidden for a Jewish man to associate with or visit a [fn]foreigner; and yet God has shown me that I am not to call any person [fn]unholy or unclean.

Act 10:29

Act 10:29“That is why I came without even raising any objection when I was sent for. So I ask, for what reason did you send for me?”

Act 10:30

Cornelius^G2883 said^G5346, “Four^G5067 days^G2250 ago^G575 to this^G3778 hour^G5610, I was praying^G4336 in my house^G3624 during the [fn]ninth^G1766 hour^G1766; and behold^G2400, a man^G435 stood^G2476 before^G1799 me in shining^G2986 clothing^G2066,

Act 10:31

Act 10:31and he *said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your charitable gifts have been remembered before God.

Act 10:32

Act 10:32‘Therefore send some men to Joppa and invite Simon, who is also called Peter, to come to you; he is staying at the house of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’

Act 10:33

Act 10:33“So I sent men to you immediately, and you have [fn]been kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here present before God to hear everything that you have been commanded by the Lord.”

Act 10:34

Opening^G455 his mouth^G4750, Peter^G4074 said^G3004:

“I most^G225 certainly^G1909^G225 understand^G2638 now that God^G2316 is not one^G4381 to^G4381 show^G4381 partiality^G4381,

Act 10:35

Act 10:35but in every nation the one who [fn]fears Him and [fn]does what is right is acceptable to Him.

Act 10:36

Act 10:36“The word which He sent to the sons of Israel, preaching [fn]peace through Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all)—

Act 10:37

Act 10:37you yourselves know the thing that happened throughout Judea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed.

Act 10:38

Act 10:38“[fn]You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, [fn]and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

Act 10:39

Act 10:39“We are witnesses of all the things that He did both in the [fn]country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also put Him to death by hanging Him on [fn]a cross.

Act 10:40

Act 10:40“God raised Him up on the third day and granted that He [fn]be revealed,

Act 10:41

Act 10:41not to all the people, but to witnesses who had been chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.

Act 10:42

Act 10:42“And He ordered us to [fn]preach to the people, and to testify solemnly that this is the One who has been appointed by God as Judge of the living and the dead.

Act 10:43

Act 10:43“All the prophets testify of Him, that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”

Act 10:44

While Peter^G4074 was still^G2089 speaking^G2980 these^G3778 words^G4487, the Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151 fell^G1968 upon all^G3956 those^G3588 who were listening^G191 to the [fn]message^G3056.

Act 10:45

Act 10:45All the [fn]Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had also been poured out on the Gentiles.

Act 10:46

Act 10:46For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting God. Then Peter responded,

Act 10:47

Act 10:47“Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?”

Act 10:48

Act 10:48And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.
