>
10:1There was a certaine man in Cesarea, called Cornelius, a Centurion of ye band called the Italian band,
10:2A deuout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gaue much almes to the people, and prayed to God alway.
10:3He saw in a vision euidently, about the ninth houre of the day, an Angel of God comming in to him, and saying vnto him Cornelius.
10:4And when he looked on him, hee was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said vnto him, Thy praiers and thine almes are come vp for a memorial before God.
10:5And now send men to Ioppa, and call for one Simon, whose sirname is Peter.
10:6Hee lodgeth with one Simon a Tanner, whose house is by the Sea side; he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to doe.
10:7And when the Angel which spake vnto Cornelius, was departed, he called two of his houshold seruants, and a deuout souldier of them that waited on him continually.
10:8And when he had declared all these things vnto them, he sent them to Ioppa.
10:9On the morrow as they went on their iourney, and drew nigh vnto the citie, Peter went vp vpon the house to pray, about the sixth houre.
10:10And he became very hungry, and would haue eaten: But while they made ready, he fell into a traunce,
10:11And saw heauen opened, and a certaine vessell descending vnto him, as it had beene a great sheete, knit at the foure corners, and let downe to the earth:
10:12Wherein were all maner of foure footed beasts of the earth, and wilde beasts, and creeping things, and foules of the ayre.
10:13And there came a voyce to him, Rise, Peter: kill, and eate.
10:14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I haue neuer eaten any thing that is common or vncleane.
10:15And the voice spake vnto him againe the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
10:16This was done thrise: & the vessel was receiued vp againe into heauen.
10:17Now while Peter doubted in himselfe what this vision which he had seene, should meane: behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius, had made inquirie for Simons house, and stood before the gate,
10:18And called, and asked whether Simon, which was sirnamed Peter, were lodged there.
10:19While Peter thought on the vision, the spirit said vnto him, Behold, three men seeke thee.
10:20Arise therefore, and get thee downe, and goe with them, doubting nothing: for I haue sent them.
10:21Then Peter went downe to the men, which were sent vnto him from Cornelius, and said, Behold, I am hee, whom ye seeke: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
10:22And they saide, Cornelius the Centurion, a iust man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Iewes, was warned from God by an holy Angel, to send for thee into his house, and to heare words of thee.
10:23Then called he them in, and lodged them: And on the morrowe Peter went away with them, and certaine brethren from Ioppa accopanied him.
10:24And the morrow after they entred into Cesarea: and Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and neere friends.
10:25And as Peter was comming in, Cornelius met him, and fell downe at his feete, and worshipped him.
10:26But Peter tooke him vp, saying, Stand vp, I my selfe also am a man.
10:27And as he talked with him, hee went in, and found many that were come together.
10:28And he said vnto them, Ye know how that it is an vnlawfull thing for a man that is a Iewe, to keepe company or come vnto one of another nation: but God hath shewed me, that I should not call any man common or vncleane.
10:29Therfore came I vnto you without gainesaying, as soone as I was sent for. I aske therefore, for what intent ye haue sent for me.
10:30And Cornelius said, Foure daies agoe I was fasting vntill this houre, and at the ninth houre I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
10:31And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine almes are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
10:32Send therfore to Ioppa, and call hither Simon, whose sirname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a Tanner, by the Sea side, who when he cometh, shall speake vnto thee.
10:33Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and thou hast well done, that thou art come. Now therefore are we all heere present before God, to heare all things that are comanded thee of God.
10:34Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a trueth I perceiue that God is no respecter of persons:
10:35But in euery nation, he that feareth him, and worketh righteousnesse, is accepted with him.
10:36The word which God sent vnto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Iesus Christ (he is Lord of all.)
10:37That word (I say) you knowe which was published thorowout all Iudea, and began from Galilee, after the baptisme which Iohn preached:
10:38How God anointed Iesus of Nazareth with the holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the deuill: for God was with him.
10:39And we are witnesses of all things which hee did both in the land of the Iewes, and in Hierusalem, whom they slew and hanged on a tree,
10:40Him God raised vp the third day, and shewed him openly,
10:41Not to all the people, but vnto witnesses, chosen before of God, euen to vs who did eate and drinke with him after he rose from the dead.
10:42And he commanded vs to preach vnto the people, and to testifie that it is he which was ordeined of God to be the Iudge of quicke and dead.
10:43To him giue all the Prophets witnesse, that through his Name whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shall receiue remission of sinnes.
10:44While Peter yet spake these words, the holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
10:45And they of the circumcision which beleeued, were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was powred out the gift of the holy Ghost.
10:46For they heard them speake with tongues, and magnifie God. Then answered Peter,
10:47Can any man forbid water, that these should not bee baptized, which haue receiued the holy Ghost, as well as wee?
10:48And hee commanded them to be baptized in the Name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarie certaine dayes.

 

10:1Futhermore there was a certaine man in Cesarea called Cornelius, a captaine of the band called the Italian band,
10:2A deuoute man, and one that feared God with all his housholde, which gaue much almes to the people, and prayed God continually.
10:3He sawe in a vision euidently (about the ninth houre of the day) an Angel of God comming in to him, and saying vnto him, Cornelius.
10:4But when hee looked on him, hee was afrayd, and sayd, What is it, Lord? and he sayd vnto him, Thy prayers and thine almes are come vp into remembrance before God.
10:5Nowe therefore send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.
10:6Hee lodgeth with one Simon a Tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to doe.
10:7And when the Angel which spake vnto Cornelius, was departed, he called two of his seruants, and a souldier that feared God, one of them that waited on him,
10:8And tolde them all things, and sent them to Ioppa.
10:9On the morow as they went on their iourney, and drew neere vnto the citie, Peter went vp vpon the house to pray, about the sixt houre.
10:10Then waxed hee an hungred, and would haue eaten: but while they made some thing ready, he fell into a trance.
10:11And hee sawe heauen opened, and a certaine vessell come downe vnto him, as it had bene a great sheete, knit at the foure corners, and was let downe to the earth.
10:12Wherein were all maner of foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.
10:13And there came a voyce to him, Arise, Peter: kill, and eate.
10:14But Peter sayd, Not so, Lord: for I haue neuer eaten any thing that is polluted, or vncleane.
10:15And the voyce spake vnto him againe the second time, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.
10:16This was so done thrise: and the vessell was drawen vp againe into heauen.
10:17Nowe while Peter douted in himselfe what this vision which he had seene, meant, beholde, the men which were sent from Cornelius, had inquired for Simons house, and stoode at the gate,
10:18And called, and asked, whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
10:19And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit sayde vnto him, Beholde, three men seeke thee.
10:20Arise therefore, and get thee downe, and goe with them, and doute nothing: For I haue sent them.
10:21Then Peter went downe to the men, which were sent vnto him from Cornelius, and sayd, Beholde, I am he whome ye seeke: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
10:22And they sayd, Cornelius the captaine, a iust man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Iewes, was warned from heauen by an holy Angel, to send for thee into his house, and to heare thy wordes.
10:23Then called he them in, and lodged them, and the next day, Peter went foorth with them, and certaine brethren from Ioppa accompanied him.
10:24And the day after, they entred into Cesarea. Nowe Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsemen, and special friends.
10:25And it came to passe as Peter came in, that Cornelius met him, and fell downe at his feete, and worshipped him.
10:26But Peter tooke him vp, saying, Stand vp: for euen I my selfe am a man.
10:27And as he talked with him, he came in, and found many that were come together.
10:28And he sayd vnto them, Ye know that it is an vnlawfull thing for a man that is a Iewe, to company, or come vnto one of another nation: but God hath shewed me, that I should not call any man polluted, or vncleane.
10:29Therefore came I vnto you without saying nay, when I was sent for. I aske therefore, for what intent haue ye sent for me?
10:30Then Cornelius sayd, Foure dayes agoe, about this houre, I fasted, and at the ninth houre I prayed in mine house, and beholde, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
10:31And sayd, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine almes are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
10:32Send therefore to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter (he is lodged in the house of Simon a Tanner by the sea side) who when he commeth, shall speake vnto thee.
10:33Then sent I for thee immediately, and thou hast well done to come. Nowe therefore are we all here present before God, to heare all things that are commanded thee of God.
10:34Then Peter opened his mouth, and sayd, Of a trueth I perceiue, that God is no accepter of persons.
10:35But in euery nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousnesse, is accepted with him.
10:36Ye know the worde which God hath sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Iesus Christ, which is Lord of all:
10:37Euen the worde which came through all Iudea, beginning in Galile, after the baptisme which Iohn preached.
10:38To wit, howe God anointed Iesus of Nazareth with the holy Ghost, and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the deuill: for God was with him.
10:39And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Iewes, and in Hierusalem, whom they slewe, hanging him on a tree.
10:40Him God raysed vp the third day, and caused that he was shewed openly:
10:41Not to all the people, but vnto the witnesses chosen before of God, euen to vs which did eate and drinke with him, after he arose from the dead.
10:42And he commanded vs to preach vnto the people, and to testifie, that it is he that is ordained of God a iudge of quicke and dead.
10:43To him also giue all the Prophets witnesse, that through his Name all that beleeue in him, shall receiue remission of sinnes.
10:44While Peter yet spake these wordes, the holy Ghost fell on al them which heard the word.
10:45So they of the circumcision which beleeued, were astonied, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was powred out the gift of the holy Ghost.
10:46For they heard them speake with tongues, and magnifie God. Then answered Peter,
10:47Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which haue receiued the holy Ghost, as well as we?
10:48So he commanded them to be baptized in the Name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tary certaine dayes.

 

10:1There was a certain man in Cesaria, called Cornelius, a captaine of the souldiers of Italy,
10:2a deuout man, & one that feared God wt al his houshold whiche gaue much almes to the people, and prayed God alway.
10:3The same man saw in a vision euydently aboute the ninth houre of the daye, an aungel of God commyng in to hym, and saiyng vnto him: Cornelius.
10:4When he loked on hym he was afraid and said, what is it Lord? He sayed vnto hym: Thy prayers and all thy almeses are come vp into remembraunce before God.
10:5And now send men to Ioppa and call for one, Symon named also Peter.
10:6He lodgeth wt one Symon a tanner, whose house is by the sea syde. He shall tell the, what thou oughtest to do.
10:7When the aungell whiche spake vnto Cornelius, was departed, he called two of his housholde seruauntes, and a deuout souldier of them that waited on him
10:8and told them all the mater, and sent them to Ioppa.
10:9On the morow as they wente on theyr iourneye, and drewe nye vnto the cytie, Peter wente vp into the toppe of the house to praye about the .vi. houre.
10:10Then wexed he an houngred, and woulde haue eaten. But whyle they made ready, he fell into a traunce,
10:11and sawe heauen opened, and a certaine vessel come doune vnto hym as it had bene a greate sheete knyte at the .iiij. corners, and was let doune to the earth,
10:12wherin were all maner of .iiij. foted beastes of the earth, and vermen and wormes, and foules of the ayer.
10:13And ther came a voyce to hym: ryse Peter kyll and eate.
10:14But Peter sayed: God forbydde Lorde, for I haue neuer eaten anye thynge that is comen or vncleane.
10:15And the voyce spake vnto hym agayne the seconde tyme: what God hath clensed, that make thou not commen.
10:16This was done thrise, and the vessell was receyued vp againe into heauen.
10:17While Peter mused in himself: what this vision, whiche he had sene, meant: beholde, the men whiche were sente from Cornelius had made inquiraunce for Simons house, & stode before the dore.
10:18And called oute one and axed, whither Simon, whiche was also called Peter were lodged there.
10:19While Peter thoughte on thys vision, the spyryte sayed vnto hym: Beholde men seke the,
10:20aryse therfore, get the doune, and go with them, and doubt not, for I haue sent them,
10:21Peter went doune to the men, whiche were sent vnto hym from Cornelius, and saide. Beholde, I am he whom ye seke, what is the cause, wherfore ye are come?
10:22And they sayde vnto him: Cornelius the captaine, a iuste man, and one that feareth God, and of good reporte amonge al the people of the Iewes, was warned by an holye aungel to sende for the into hys house, and to heare wordes of the.
10:23Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morowe Peter wente awaye wyth them, and certaine brethren from Ioppa accompanyed him.
10:24And the thyrd daye entred they into Cesaria. And Cornelius wayted for them, and had called together his kinsmen, and speciall frendes.
10:25And as it chaunsed Peter to come in, Cornelius met him, and fel doune at his fete, and worshipped him.
10:26But Peter toke him vp saiynge: stand vp: for euen I me selfe am a man.
10:27And as he talked wyth him he came in, and founde manye that were come together.
10:28And he sayde vnto them: Ye knowe howe that it is an vnlawfull thynge for a man that is a Iewe, to companye or come vnto an aliaunte: but God hath shewed me that I should not cal any man commen, or vncleane:
10:29therfore came I vnto you wyth out saiynge naye, assone as I was sente for I axe therfore, for what intente haue ye sent for me?
10:30And Cornelius sayde: Thys daye nowe .iiij. dayes I fasted and at the nynthe houre I prayde in my house: and beholde, a man stode before me in brighte clothinge,
10:31and sayd: Cornelius, thy prayer is hearde, and thine almes deades are had in remembraunce in the sight of God.
10:32Send therfore to Ioppa, and call for Simon whiche is also called Peter. He is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea syde, the which assone as he is come, shall speake vnto the.
10:33Then sent I for the immediatly, and thou hast wel done for to come. Nowe are we all here present before God, to heare al thinges that are commaunded vnto the of God.
10:34Then Peter opened hys mouth and saide: Of a trueth I perceyue, that God is not partyall,
10:35but in all people he that feareth hym and worketh rightuousnes, is accepted wyth hym.
10:36Ye knowe the preachinge that God sent vnto the chyldren of Israel, preachynge peace by Iesus Christe, whiche is Lorde ouer all thinges.
10:37Whiche preaching was published thorow out all Iewry, and beganne in Galile, after the baptisme, whiche Iohn preached,
10:38howe God had annoynted Iesus of Nazareth wyth the holy ghost, and wyth power. Whiche Iesus went about doynge good, and healinge all that were oppressed of the deuils for God was wyth him.

10:43To hym geue all the Prophetes witnes, that thorowe hys name, all that beleue in hym, shall receyue remission of sinnes.
10:44Whyle Peter yet spake these wordes the holye Ghoste fel on all them whyche hearde the preaching.
10:45And they of the circumcision, whyche beleued, were astonied, as manye as came wyth Peter, because that on the Gentils, also was shede out the gyfte of the holy ghoste.
10:46For they heard them speake wyth tounges & magnified God. Then aunswered Peter.
10:47Can anye man forbydde water that these shoulde not be baptysed, whiche haue receyued the holye ghoste as well as we?
10:48And he commaunded them to be baptysed in the name of the Lorde. Then prayed they hym to tarye a fewe dayes.
