A man named Cornelius lived in the city of Caesarea. He was a Roman army officer in the Italian Regiment.

He and everyone in his home were devout and respected God. Cornelius gave many gifts to poor Jewish people and always prayed to God.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
One day, about three in the afternoon, he had a vision. He clearly saw an angel from God come to him and say, “Cornelius!”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
He stared at the angel and was terrified. Cornelius asked the angel, “What do you want, sir?” The angel answered him, “God is aware of your prayers and your gifts to the poor, and he has remembered you.

Send messengers now to the city of Joppa, and summon a man whose name is Simon Peter.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
He is a guest of Simon, a leatherworker, whose house is by the sea.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
After saying this, the angel left. Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier, one of those who served him regularly.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Cornelius explained everything to them and sent them to Joppa.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Around noon the next day, while Cornelius’ men were on their way and coming close to Joppa, Peter went on the roof to pray.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
He became hungry and wanted to eat. While the food was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
He saw the sky open and something like a large linen sheet being lowered by its four corners to the ground.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
In the sheet were all kinds of four-footed animals, reptiles, and birds.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
A voice told him, “Get up, Peter! Kill these animals, and eat them.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Peter answered, “I can’t do that, Lord! I’ve never eaten anything that is impure or unclean.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
A voice spoke to him a second time, “Don’t say that the things which God has made clean are impure.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
This happened three times. Then the sheet was quickly taken into the sky.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
While Peter was puzzled by the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and went to the gate.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Peter was still thinking about the vision when the Spirit said to him, “Three men are looking for you.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Get up, and go downstairs. Don’t hesitate to go with these men. I have sent them.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
So Peter went to the men. He said, “I’m the man you’re looking for. Why are you here?”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
The men replied, “Cornelius, a Roman army officer, sent us. He’s a man who has God’s approval and who respects God. Also, the Jewish people respect him. A holy angel told him to summon you to his home to hear what you have to say.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Peter asked the men to come into the house and had them stay overnight. The next day Peter left with them. Some disciples from Joppa went along.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
The following day they arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called his relatives and close friends together.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
When Peter was about to enter Cornelius’ house, Cornelius met him, bowed down, and worshiped Peter.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
But Peter made him get up. He told him, “Stand up! I’m only a man.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
As Peter talked, he entered Cornelius’ house and found that many people had gathered.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
He said to them, “You understand how wrong it is for a Jewish man to associate or visit with anyone of another race. But God has shown me that I should no longer call anyone impure or unclean.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
That is why I didn’t object to coming here when you sent for me. I want to know why you sent for me.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Cornelius answered, “Four days ago I was praying at home. It was at this same time, three o’clock in the afternoon. Suddenly, a man dressed in radiant clothes stood in front of me.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
He said to me, ‘Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and has remembered your gifts to the poor.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
So send messengers to Joppa, and summon a man whose name is Simon Peter. He’s a guest in the home of Simon, a leatherworker who lives by the sea.’
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
So I sent for you immediately. Thank you for coming. All of us are here now in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has ordered you to say.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Then Peter said, “Now I understand that God doesn’t play favorites.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Rather, whoever respects God and does what is right is acceptable to him in any nation.

God sent his word to the people of Israel and brought them the Good News of peace through Jesus Christ. This Jesus Christ is everyone’s Lord.

You know what happened throughout Judea. Everything began in Galilee after John spread the news about baptism.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
You know that God anointed Jesus from Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Jesus went everywhere and did good things, such as healing everyone who was under the devil’s power. Jesus did these things because God was with him.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
We can testify to everything Jesus did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. People hung him on a cross and killed him,
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
but God brought him back to life on the third day. God didn’t show him
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
to all the people. He showed Jesus to witnesses, apostles he had already chosen. We apostles are those men who ate and drank with Jesus after he came back to life.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
He ordered us to warn the people, ‘God has appointed Jesus to judge the living and the dead.’
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
In addition, all the prophets testify that people who believe in the one named Jesus receive forgiveness for their sins through him.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit came to everyone who heard his message.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
All the believers who were circumcised and who had come with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured on people who were not Jewish.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
They heard these non-Jewish people speaking in other languages and praising God. Then Peter said,
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
“No one can refuse to baptize these people with water. They have received the Holy Spirit in the same way that we did.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
So Peter ordered that they should be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for several days.
