1There was a man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion from the cohort called the Italian Cohort,

2devout and fearing God with all his household, doing many acts of charity for the people and praying to God continually,

3He saw clearly in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him and saying to him, “Cornelius.”

4But he stared at him, and becoming afraid, said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your acts of mercy have gone up as a memorial before God.”

5And now send men to Joppa and summon a certain Simon who is called Peter.

6He is lodging with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.
