Acts 10
1 A man now certain (was *k) in Caesarea named Cornelius, [was] a centurion of [the] Cohort which is called Italian,
At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in the regiment known as the “Italian Regiment,”
2 devout and fearing God with all the household of him, doing (also *k) alms many to the people and praying to God (through *N+KO) (all [times]; *N+kO)
A religious man and one who reverenced God, with all his household. He was liberal in his charities to the people, and prayed to God constantly.
3 He saw in a vision clearly as if about hour [the] ninth [hour] of the day an angel of God having come to him and having said to him; Cornelius!
One afternoon, about three o’clock, he distinctly saw in a vision an angel from God come to him, and call him by name.
4 And having looked intently on him and afraid having become he said; What is it, Lord? He said then to him; The prayers of You and the alms of you have ascended as a memorial (before *N+kO) God.
Cornelius fixed his eyes on him and, in great alarm, said, ‘What is it, Lord?’ ‘Your prayers and your charities,’ the angel answered, ‘have been an acceptable offering to God.
5 And now do send men to Joppa and do yourself summon Simon (someone *n+o) who (is called Peter; *NK+o)
And now, send messengers to Joppa and fetch a man called Simon, who is also known as Peter.
6 He lodges with a certain Simon a tanner, whose is [the] house by [the] sea (this [one] will tell you what you it behooves to do. *K)
He is lodging with a tanner named Simon, who has a house near the sea.’
7 When then had departed the angel who is speaking (to him, *N+KO) having called two of the servants (of him *k) and a soldier devout of those attending to him,
When the angel, who had spoken to him, had gone, Cornelius called two servants and a religious soldier, who was one of his constant attendants,
8 and having related all things to them he sent them to Joppa.
and, after telling them the whole story, sent them to Joppa.
9 On the now next day when are journeying (these *NK+o) and to the city are approaching, went up Peter on the housetop to pray about hour [the] sixth.
On the next day, while these men were on their way, just as they were nearing the town, Peter went up on the housetop about midday to pray.
10 He became then hungry and was desiring to eat. when were preparing however ([some] of them happened *N+kO) upon him a trance,
He became hungry and wanted something to eat; but while it was being prepared, he fell into a trance,
11 and he beholds heaven opened and descending (onto him *K) a vessel certain as a sheet great by four corners (bound and *KO) being let down upon the earth;
and saw that the heavens were open, and that something like a great sail was descending, let down by its four corners towards the earth.
12 in which were all the quadrupeds (and the beasts *K) and (the *k) creeping things of the earth and birds of heaven.
In it were all kinds of quadrupeds, reptiles, and birds.
13 And came a voice to him: Having risen up Peter, do kill and do eat.
Then he was aware of a voice which said – ‘Stand up, Peter, kill something, and eat.’
14 And Peter said; In no way, Lord; for never I ate anything common (or *N+kO) unclean.
‘No, Lord, I cannot,’ answered Peter, ‘for I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.’
15 And a voice [came] again for [the] second time to him: What God has cleansed, you yourself not do call common.
Again he was aware of a voice which said – ‘What God has pronounced clean, do not regard as defiled.’
16 This now took place for three times and (immediately *N+KO) was taken up the vessel into heaven.
This happened three times, and then suddenly it was all taken up into the heavens.
17 While then in himself was perplexed Peter what maybe would be the vision that he had seen, (and *k) behold the men who sent (from *N+kO) Cornelius having inquired for the house of Simon, stood at the gate;
While Peter was still perplexed as to the meaning of the vision that he had seen, the men sent by Cornelius, having enquired the way to Simon’s house, came up to the gate,
18 And having called out (they were asking *NK+o) if Simon who is being called Peter here is lodged.
and called out and asked if the Simon, who was also known as Peter, was lodging there.
19 And Peter (thinking *N+kO) over the vision said to him the Spirit: Behold men (three *NK+O) (are seeking *N+kO) you;
Peter was still pondering over the vision, when the Spirit said to him, ‘There are two men looking for you at this moment.
20 But having risen do go down and do proceed with them nothing doubting, (since *N+kO) I myself have sent them.
Go down at once and do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.’
21 Having gone down then Peter to the men (who sent from Cornelius to him *K) he said; Behold I myself am whom you seek; what [is] the cause for which you are here?
Peter went down to the men and said, ‘I am the person you are looking for. What is your reason for coming?’
22 And they said; Cornelius a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God being well testified to then by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by an angel holy to send for you to the house of him and to hear declaration from you.
The men replied, ‘Our centurion, Cornelius, a pious man who reverences God and is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, has been instructed by a holy angel to send for you to his house, and to listen to what you have to say.’
23 Having called in therefore them he lodged [them]. On the now next day (having risen up *NO) (Peter *K) he went forth with them, and some of the brothers those from Joppa went with him.
So Peter invited them in and entertained them. The next day he lost no time in setting out with them, accompanied by some of the Lord’s followers from Joppa;
24 (and *k) On the (now *no) next day (he entered *N+kO) into Caesarea; and Cornelius was expecting them having called together the relatives of him and close friends.
and the day following he entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them, and had invited his relatives and intimate friends to meet them.
25 as then was entering Peter, having met with him Cornelius having fallen at the feet worshiped [him].
So, when Peter entered the city, Cornelius met him, and, throwing himself at Peter’s feet, bowed to the ground.
26 But Peter lifted up him saying; do rise up; also I myself myself a man am.
Peter, however, lifted him up, saying as he did so, ‘Stand up, I am only human like yourself.’
27 And talking with him he entered and he finds having gathered together many,
Talking with him as he went, Peter entered the house, where he found a large gathering of people, to whom he said,
28 He was saying then to them; You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a man Jewish to unite himself or to come near to [someone] foreign; And to me And to me God has shown nothing common or unclean to call man,
‘You are doubtless aware that it is forbidden for a Jew to be intimate with a foreigner, or even to enter his house; and yet God has shown me that I ought not to call anyone defiled or unclean.
29 Therefore also without objection I came having been summoned. I inquire therefore, for what reason did you summon me?
That was why I came, when I was sent for, without raising any objection. And now I ask your reason for sending for me.’
30 And Cornelius was saying; Ago four days until this the hour I was (fasting and *K) at the ninth (hour *k) praying in the house of mine, and behold a man stood before me in apparel bright
‘Just three days ago this very hour,’ Cornelius said, ‘I was in my house, saying the Afternoon Prayers, when a man in dazzling clothing suddenly stood before me.
31 and said; Cornelius, has been heard your prayer and the alms of you was remembered before God.
“Cornelius,” he said, “your prayer has been heard, and your charities have been accepted, by God.
32 do send therefore to Joppa and do yourself call for Simon who is called Peter; He lodges in [the] house of Simon a tanner by [the] sea (who having come he will speak to you. *K)
Therefore send to Joppa, and invite the Simon, who is also known as Peter, to come here. He is lodging in the house of Simon the tanner, near the sea.”
33 At once therefore I sent to you, you yourself then well did having come. Now therefore all we ourselves before God are present to hear all the [things] commanded you by the (Lord. *N+KO)
Accordingly I sent to you at once, and you have been so good as to come. And now we are all here in the presence of God, to listen to all that you have been instructed by the Lord to say.’
34 Having opened then Peter the mouth he said; Of a truth I grasped that not is One who shows partiality God,
Then Peter began. ‘I see, beyond all doubt,’ he said, ‘that God does not show partiality,
35 but in every nation which is fearing Him and working righteousness acceptable to Him is.
but that in every nation he who reverences him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
36 the word that He sent to the sons of Israel evangelising [about] peace through Jesus Christ — He is of all Lord,
God has sent his message to the Israelites and told them, through Jesus Christ, the good news of peace – and Jesus is Lord of all!
37 You yourselves know the having come declaration through all Judea, (having begun *N+kO) from Galilee after the baptism that proclaimed John:
You yourselves know the story which spread through all Judea, how, beginning form Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed –
38 Jesus from Nazareth, how anointed Him God Spirit with Holy and with power, who went about doing good and healing all those being oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him;
the story, I mean, of Jesus of Nazareth, and how God consecrated him his Christ by enduing him with the Holy Spirit and with power; and how he went about doing good and curing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
39 And we ourselves (are *k) witnesses of all things that He did in both the region of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom (also *no) they executed having hanged [Him] on a tree.
We are ourselves, too, witnesses to all that he did in Judea and in Jerusalem; yet they put him to death by hanging him on a cross!
40 This One God raised up (on *n) the third day and gave Him revealed to become
This Jesus God raised on the third day, and enabled him to appear,
41 not [revealed] to all the people, but to [the] witnesses who chosen beforehand by God to us who we ate with and we drank with Him after rising of Him out from [the] dead;
not indeed to everyone, but to witnesses chosen beforehand by God – to us, who ate and drank with him after his resurrection from the dead.
42 And He instructed us to proclaim to the people and to testify fully that (He *N+kO) is the [One] appointed by God [as] judge of living and dead.
Further, God charged us to proclaim to the people, and solemnly affirm, that it is Jesus who has been appointed by God judge of the living and the dead.
43 To Him all the prophets bear witness [that] forgiveness of sins receiving through the name of Him everyone who is believing in Him.
To him it is that all the prophets bear witness, when they say that everyone who believes in him receives through his name forgiveness of sins.’
44 Still when is speaking Peter declarations these fell the Spirit Holy upon all those hearing the word.
Before Peter had finished saying these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to the message.
45 And were amazed the from [the] circumcision believers (as many as *NK+O) had come with Peter, that even upon the Gentiles the gift of the Holy Spirit has been poured out;
Those converts from Judaism, who had come with Peter, were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been bestowed even on the Gentiles;
46 They were hearing for when they are speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then answered Peter;
for they heard them speaking in different languages and extolling God. At this Peter asked,
47 surely not ever the water is able to withhold anyone not to baptize these who the Spirit Holy have received (as *N+kO) also [have] we ourselves?
‘Can anyone refuse the water for the baptism of these people, now that they have received the Holy Spirit as we did ourselves?’
48 He commanded (now *N+kO) them in the name (of Jesus Christ *NO) to be baptized (of the Lord. *K) Then they asked him to remain days some.
And he directed that they should be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ; after which they asked him to stay there a few days longer.
