Acts 10:29

Acts 10:29

27 And as he talked with him, he went in and found many who had come together.

28 Then he said to them, “You know how ^aunlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But ^bGod has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

29 Therefore I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me?”

30 So Cornelius said,¹ “Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, ^aa man stood before me ^bin bright clothing,

31 and said, ‘Cornelius, ^ayour prayer has been heard, and ^byour alms are remembered in the sight of God.

32 Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.¹ When he comes, he will speak to you.’

33 So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. Now therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things commanded you by God.”

Preaching to Cornelius’ Household

34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: ^a“In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.

35 But ^ain every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is ^baccepted by Him.
