But, a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italian, -

Devout, and fearing God with all his house, doing many alms unto the people, and supplicating God continually,

Saw, in a vision, manifestly, as if about the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God, coming in unto him, and saying unto him - Cornelius!

And he, looking steadfastly at him, and becoming full of fear, said - What is it, Lord? And he said unto him - Thy prayers and thine alms, have gone up for a memorial before God.

Now, therefore, send men unto Joppa, and fetch one Simon who is surnamed Peter, -

The same is a guest with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea.

And, when the messenger who had been speaking with him had departed, calling two of the domestics, and a devout soldier of them that constantly attended him,

And relating everything unto them, he sent them off unto Joppa.
