1 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of ^wwhat was known as the Italian Cohort, 2 a devout man ^xwho feared God with all his household, gave alms generously to the people, and prayed continually to God.

5 And now send men to Joppa and bring one Simon who is called Peter. 6 He is lodging ^dwith one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.”

17 Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what ⁿthe vision that he had seen might mean, behold, ^othe men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood at the gate

20 Rise and go down and ^qaccompany them without hesitation,¹ for I have sent them.”

25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and ^wfell down at his feet and ^xworshiped him.

34 So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that ^fGod ^gshows no partiality,

38 how ^oGod anointed Jesus of Nazareth ^pwith the Holy Spirit and with ^qpower. He went about doing good and healing all ^rwho were oppressed by the devil, ^sfor God was with him.

44 While Peter was still saying these things, ⁱthe Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word.
