Acts 10 (WEBP)

[1] Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
[2] a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
[3] At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
[4] He, fastening his eyes on him and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
[5] Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
[6] He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
[7] When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
[8] Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
[9] Now on the next day as they were on their journey and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
[10] He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
[11] He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
[12] in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
[13] A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
[14] But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
[15] A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
[16] This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
[17] Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
[18] and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
[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; for I have sent them.”
[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 provided a place to stay. 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 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 I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
[30] Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing
[31] and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
[32] Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’
[33] Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
[34] Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;
[35] but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
[36] The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
[37] you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
[38] how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
[39] We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.
[40] God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
[41] not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
[42] He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.
[43] All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
[44] While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
[45] They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.
[46] For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
[47] “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
[48] He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.

Young’s Literal Translation

Acts 10 (YLT)

[1] And there was a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion from a band called Italian,
[2] pious, and fearing God with all his house, doing also many kind acts to the people, and beseeching God always,
[3] he saw in a vision manifestly, as it were the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, ‘Cornelius;’
[4] and he having looked earnestly on him, and becoming afraid, said, ‘What is it, Lord?’ And he said to him, ‘Thy prayers and thy kind acts came up for a memorial before God,
[5] and now send men to Joppa, and send for a certain one Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
[6] this one doth lodge with a certain Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea; this one shall speak to thee what it behoveth thee to do.’
[7] And when the messenger who is speaking to Cornelius went away, having called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier of those waiting on him continually,
[8] and having declared to them all things, he sent them to Joppa.
[9] And on the morrow, as these are proceeding on the way, and are drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour,
[10] and he became very hungry, and wished to eat; and they making ready, there fell upon him a trance,
[11] and he doth behold the heaven opened, and descending unto him a certain vessel, as a great sheet, bound at the four corners, and let down upon the earth,
[12] in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven,
[13] and there came a voice unto him: ‘Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.’
[14] And Peter said, ‘Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean;’
[15] and there is a voice again a second time unto him: ‘What God did cleanse, thou, declare not thou common;’
[16] and this was done thrice, and again was the vessel received up to the heaven.
[17] And as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision that he saw might be, then, lo, the men who have been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
[18] and having called, they were asking if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, doth lodge here?
[19] And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, ‘Lo, three men do seek thee;
[20] but having risen, go down and go on with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them;’
[21] and Peter having come down unto the men who have been sent from Cornelius unto him, said, ‘Lo, I am he whom ye seek, what is the cause for which ye are present?’
[22] And they said, ‘Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for thee, to his house, and to hear sayings from thee.’
[23] Having called them in, therefore, he lodged them, and on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him,
[24] and on the morrow they did enter into Caesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kindred and near friends,
[25] and as it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at his feet, did bow before him;
[26] and Peter raised him, saying, ‘Stand up; I also myself am a man;’
[27] and talking with him he went in, and doth find many having come together.
[28] And he said unto them, ‘Ye know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come unto, one of another race, but to me God did shew to call no man common or unclean;
[29] therefore also without gainsaying I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter ye did send for me?’
[30] And Cornelius said, ‘Four days ago till this hour, I was fasting, and at the ninth hour praying in my house, and, lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
[31] and he said, Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thy kind acts were remembered before God;
[32] send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one doth lodge in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, shall speak to thee;
[33] at once, therefore, I sent to thee; thou also didst do well, having come; now, therefore, are we all before God present to hear all things that have been commanded thee by God.’
[34] And Peter having opened his mouth, said, ‘Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,
[35] but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him;
[36] the word that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news-peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of all,)
[37] ye-ye have known;-the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached;
[38] Jesus who is from Nazareth-how God did anoint him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the devil, because God was with him;
[39] and we-we are witnesses of all things that he did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem,-whom they did slay, having hanged upon a tree.
[40] ‘This one God did raise up the third day, and gave him to become manifest,
[41] not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God-to us who did eat with him, and did drink with him, after his rising out of the dead;
[42] and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify fully that it is he who hath been ordained by God judge of living and dead-
[43] to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.’
[44] While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy spirit fell upon all those hearing the word,
[45] and those of the circumcision believing were astonished-as many as came with Peter-because also upon the nations the gift of the Holy Spirit hath been poured out,
[46] for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.
[47] Then answered Peter, ‘The water is any one able to forbid, that these may not be baptized, who the Holy Spirit did receive-even as also we?’
[48] he commanded them also to be baptized in the name of the Lord; then they besought him to remain certain days.
