Acts 10:1–9
1Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,↗
2a 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.↗
3At 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!”↗
4He, 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.↗
5Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.↗
6He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.↗
7When 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.↗
8Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.↗
9Now 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.↗
