Cornelius Sends a Delegation
1 There was a certain man in aCaesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian1 Regiment,
2 aa devout man and one who bfeared God with all his household, who gave1 alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always.
3 About1 the ninth hour of the day ahe saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
4 And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, “What is it, lord?” So he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.
5 Now asend men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter.
6 He is lodging with aSimon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. bHe will tell you what you must do.”
7 And when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those who waited on him continually.
8 So when he had explained all these things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
