Cornelius Sends for Peter
1 AND there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, Centurion of that which is called the Italian band,
2 religious, & fearing God with all his house, doing many alms-deeds to the people. And always praying to God,
3 he saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an Angel of God coming in unto him and saying to him: Cornelius.
4 But he beholding him, taken with fear, said: Who art thou Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms-deeds are ascended into remembrance in the sight of God.
5 And now send men unto Joppe, and call hither one Simon that is surnamed Peter.
6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.
33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore all we are present in thy sight, to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee of the Lord.
Gentiles Receive the Holy Spirit
44 As Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell upon all that heard the word.
47 Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of our Lord JESUS CHRIST. Then they desired him that he would tarry with them certain days.
