And when the angel who had spoken with him had gone, he called two from the sons of his house, and a certain soldier who feared Aloha (and) who was obedient to him;

They said to him, A certain man whose name is Cornelius, a centurion, who feareth Aloha, and of whom all the people of the Jihudoyee give witness, hath been told in a vision by an holy angel to send and bring thee to his house, and to hear words from thee.

And the next day they entered Cesarea: but Cornelius was waiting for them, while all the sons of his family, and the friends and beloved ones whom he had, were assembled with him.

AND when Shemun entered Cornelius met him, and fell and worshipped at his feet.

And he said to them, You know that it is not lawful for a man a Jihudoya to attach to a foreign man who is not a son of his tribe. But me hath Aloha showed that I should not declare any man unclean or profane.

BUT Shemun opened his mouth, and said, In truth I comprehend that Aloha is no respecter of persons:

And we are his witnesses of all which he did in the land of Jihud and of Urishlem. This (one) himself did the Jihudoyee hang upon the tree and kill;

yet not to all the people, but to us who by Aloha were chosen to be unto him the witnesses, who ate with him and drank after his resurrection from among the dead.

And of him all the prophets testify, that whoever believeth in his name shall receive remission of sins.

And he related to us how he had seen in his house an angel, who stood and said to him, Send to the city Joppa, and bring Shemun who is called Kipha,

And while Shemun was kept in the house of the bound, constant prayer was offered by the church on his behalf unto Aloha.

And he smote him on his side, and said to him, Arise quickly. And the chains fell from his hands. And the angel said to him, bind thy loins, and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And again he said to him, Wrap thy mantle, and come after me.

Then acknowledged Shemun, and said, Now know I in truth that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me from the hand of Herodes the king, and from that which the Jihudoyee had calculated against me.

And they said to her, Thou art altogether moved. And she contended that it was so. And they said, It may be that it is his angel.

And he beckoned to them with his hand to be silent; and entered, and showed them how the Lord had brought him out from the house of the bound. And he said to them, Show these to Jakub and to the brethren; and he departed and went to another place.

And Paulos arose, and signed with his hand, and said to them:

And he sent Juhanon to proclaim before his coming the baptism of repentance to the whole people of Israel.

And while Juhanon accomplished his ministry, he said, Whom think you that I am ? I am not (he), but, behold, he cometh after me, he, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose.

And he was seen days many by those who had come up with him from Galila to Urishlem, and they are now his witnesses unto the people.

For David in his generation served the will of Aloha, and slept, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption.
