Acts 10:1-8

¹Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, ²a devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, who also gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always. ³He saw in a vision openly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, Cornelius. ⁴And he, fastening his eyes upon him, and being affrighted, said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are gone up for a memorial before God. ⁵And now send men to Joppa, and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter: ⁶he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the seaside. ⁷And when the angel that spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually; ⁸and having rehearsed all things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
