 There was a certain man in Caes a req called Cornelius, centurion c1 the tand called the Italian band,
 2. A .devout man, and one that feared Goda wit hall his house, wi"ch gave much aims to the people, and prayed to God always.
 8. He saw in vision evidently about the ninth hour of tine day an angel of God coming in to him. and saying unto him, Cornelius. 4. And when ne looked on him, lie was afraid,1 and said, What is i+. Lord? And he said unto him., I'll? prayers and thine aims are come up for a memorial before God.
 ,. And now send mento Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname lis Peter:
 6. He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side; he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
 7. And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household serv- ants, and devout soldier of then. that waited on him continually;
 s. And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
 9. On the morrow, as they went on their Journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the house top to pray about the sixth hour:
 10. And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance
 Il. And saw heaven opened, aud la certain vessel descending unto h1n, as it had been great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down 10 the earth:
 fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
 13. And there came voice to him. Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
 IA. But Peter said, Not so, Lord: for I have never eaten any thing tat is common or unclean.
 15. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
 16. This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again in:o heaven.
 IF. Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simons house, and stood before the gate, IS. And called, and asked whe- ther Simon, which wa surnamed Peter, were lodged there. 19. While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Be- hold, three men seek thee. 20. Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubt Ing nothing: for I have sent them. Ie 21. Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I ;t'u he whHm ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come? P. And they said, Cornelius tle centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
 23. Then called he them in, an'l lodged them. And on the morrow I Peter went away with them, and certain breathren from Joppa accom- panied him.
 1 24. And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Corne- liuse waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and nea- friends.
 20. And as Peter was coming in, Cornelious met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
 36 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up, myself also am man. v. And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
 2S. And he said unto them, Ye know how that it IS an unlawful thing for a man that is Jew to keep company, or come unto one ot another nation; but God hath showed me that I should not call any man I common or unclean.
 29., Therefore came I unto you without gainssaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
 30. And Cornelius said, Four days ago | was fasting, until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house. and, behold man stood before me in bright clothing.
 31. And said, Cornelius, thy prayer lis heard. and thine aims are had in rememberance in the sight of God
 32. Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is \ Peter; he is lodged in the house .. one Simon tanner by the sea side l who. when he cometh shall speak un. to thee.
 Fl 3S, Immediately therefore I sent |I to thee; and thou hast we'll done kI that thou are come. Now therefore Ij are we all here present before God
