| 1 | Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment, | Ac 8:40 Ac 21:8 Ac 23:23 Ac 23:33 Ac 25:1 Ac 25:13 |
| 2 | a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave alms generously to the people, and always prayed to God. | Ac 10:7 Ac 10:22 Ac 2:5 Ac 8:2 Ac 13:50 Ac 16:14 Ac 22:12 Lk 2:25 |
| 3 | At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, "Cornelius!" | Jb 4:15 Jb 4:16 Dn 9:20 Dn 9:21 |
| 4 | He, fastening his eyes on him, and being frightened, said, "What is it, Lord?" He said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have gone up for a memorial before God. | Dn 10:11 Lk 1:12 Lk 1:29 Lk 24:5 |
| 5 | Now send men to Joppa, and get one Simon, who is surnamed Peter. | Ac 10:32 Ac 9:38 Ac 15:7 Ac 16:9 |
| 6 | He lodges with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the seaside." | Ac 9:43 |
| 7 | When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually. | Ac 10:2 Gn 24:1-10 Gn 24:52-10 Jg 7:10 1Sa 14:6 1Sa 14:7 1Ti 6:2 Phm 1:16 |
| 8 | Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa. | Ac 10:33 Ac 26:19 Ps 119:59 Ps 119:60 Ec 9:10 Ga 1:16 |
| 9 | Now on the next day, as they were on their journey, and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, at about noon. | Ac 10:8 Ac 11:5-10 1Sa 9:25 Zep 1:5 Mt 6:6 Mk 1:35 Mk 6:46 1Ti 2:8 |
| 10 | He became hungry, and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance. | Mt 4:2 Mt 12:1-3 Mt 21:18 |
| 11 | He saw heaven opened, and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet, let down by four corners on the earth, | Ac 7:56 Ezk 1:1 Lk 3:21 Jn 1:51 Rev 4:1 Rev 11:19 Rev 19:11 |
| 12 | in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky. | Gn 7:8 Gn 7:9 Isa 11:6-9 Isa 65:25 Jn 7:37 1Co 6:9-11 |
| 13 | A voice came to him, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat!" | Ac 10:10 Jer 35:2-5 Jn 4:31-34 |
| 14 | But Peter said, "Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean." | Gn 19:18 Ex 10:11 Mt 16:22 Mt 25:9 Lk 1:60 |
| 15 | A voice came to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed, you must not make unholy." | Ac 10:28 Ac 11:9 Ac 15:9 Ac 15:20 Ac 15:29 Mt 15:11 Rev 14:14-17 Rev 14:20-17 1Co 10:25 Ga 2:12 Ga 2:13 1Ti 4:3-5 Tit 1:15 Heb 9:9 Heb 9:10 |
| 16 | This was done three times, and immediately the vessel was received up into heaven. | Gn 41:32 Jn 21:17 2Co 13:1 |
| 17 | Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon`s house, stood before the gate, | Ac 10:19 Ac 2:12 Ac 5:24 Ac 25:20 Jn 13:12 1Pe 1:11 |
| 18 | and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was lodging there. | Ac 10:5 Ac 10:6 Ac 11:11 |
| 19 | While Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men seek you. | Ac 8:29 Ac 11:12 Ac 13:2 Ac 16:6 Ac 16:7 Ac 21:4 Jn 16:13 1Co 12:11 1Ti 4:1 |
| 20 | But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them." | Ac 8:26 Ac 9:15 Ac 15:7 Mk 16:15 |
| 21 | Peter went down to the men, and said, "Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?" | Jn 1:38 Jn 1:39 Jn 18:4-8 |
| 22 | They said, "Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say. | Ac 24:15 Hos 14:9 Hab 2:4 Mt 1:19 Mk 6:20 Lk 2:25 Lk 23:50 Ro 1:17 Heb 10:38 Heb 12:23 |
| 23 | So he called them in and lodged them. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him. | Gn 19:2 Gn 19:3 Gn 24:31 Gn 24:32 Jg 19:19-21 Heb 13:2 1Pe 4:9 |
| 24 | On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends. | Isa 2:3 Mic 4:2 Zc 3:10 Zc 8:20-23 Mt 9:9 Mt 9:10 Mk 5:19 Mk 5:20 Lk 5:29 Jn 1:41-49 Jn 4:28 Jn 4:29 Jn 1:1-3 |
| 25 | When it happened that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. | Ac 14:11-13 Dn 2:30 Dn 2:46 Mt 8:2 Mt 14:33 Rev 19:10 Rev 22:8 Rev 22:9 |
| 26 | But Peter raised him up, saying, "Stand up! I myself am also a man." | Ac 14:14 Ac 14:15 Isa 42:8 Isa 48:13 Mt 4:10 2Th 2:3 2Th 2:4 Rev 13:8 Rev 19:10 Rev 22:9 |
| 27 | As he talked with him, he went in, and found many come together. | Ac 10:24 Ac 14:27 Jn 4:35 1Co 16:9 2Co 2:12 Col 4:3 |
| 28 | He said to them, "You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn`t call any man unholy or unclean. | Ac 11:2 Ac 11:3 Ac 22:21 Ac 22:22 Jn 4:9 Jn 4:27 Jn 18:28 Ga 2:12-14 |
| 29 | Therefore also I came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?" | Ac 10:19 Ac 10:20 Ps 119:60 1Pe 3:15 |
| 30 | Cornelius said, "Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour, and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, | Ac 10:7-9 Ac 10:23-9 Ac 10:24-9 |
| 31 | and said, `Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your alms are remembered in the sight of God. | Isa 38:5 Dn 9:23 Dn 10:12 Lk 1:13 |
| 32 | Send therefore to Joppa, and call to you Simon, who is surnamed Peter. He lodges in the house of Simon a tanner, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.` |
| 33 | Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God." | Ac 17:11 Ac 17:12 Ac 28:28 Dt 5:25-29 2Ch 30:12 Pr 1:5 Pr 9:9 Pr 9:10 Pr 18:15 Pr 25:12 Mt 18:4 Mt 19:30 Mk 10:15 1Co 3:18 Ga 4:14 1Th 2:13 Jm 1:19 Jm 1:21 1Pe 2:1 1Pe 2:2 |
| 34 | Peter opened his mouth and said, "Truly I perceive that God doesn`t show favoritism, | Ac 8:35 Mt 5:2 Eph 6:19 Eph 6:20 |
| 35 | but in every nation he who fears him, and works righteousness, is acceptable to him. | Ac 15:9 Isa 56:3-8 Ro 2:13 Ro 2:25-29 Ro 3:22 Ro 3:29 Ro 3:30 Ro 10:12 Ro 10:13 1Co 12:13 Ga 3:28 Eph 2:13-18 Eph 3:6-8 Php 3:3 Col 1:6 Col 1:23-27 Col 3:11 |
| 36 | The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all): | Ac 2:38 Ac 2:39 Ac 3:25 Ac 3:26 Ac 11:19 Ac 13:46 Mt 10:6 Lk 24:47 |
| 37 | that spoken word you yourselves know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; | Ac 2:22 Ac 26:26 Ac 28:22 |
| 38 | even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him. | Ac 2:22 Ac 4:27 Ps 2:2 Ps 2:6 Ps 45:7 Isa 11:2 Isa 42:1 Isa 61:1-3 Mt 12:28 Lk 3:22 Lk 4:18 Jn 3:34 Jn 6:27 Jn 10:36-38 Heb 1:9 |
| 39 | We are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree. | Ac 10:41 Ac 1:8 Ac 1:22 Ac 2:32 Ac 3:15 Ac 5:30-32 Ac 13:31 Lk 1:2 Lk 24:48 Jn 15:27 |
| 40 | God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed, | Ac 13:30 Ac 13:31 Ac 17:31 Mt 28:1 Mt 28:2 Ro 1:4 Ro 4:24 Ro 4:25 Ro 6:4-11 Ro 8:11 Ro 14:9 1Co 15:3 1Co 15:4 1Co 15:12-20 2Co 4:14 Heb 13:20 1Pe 1:21 |
| 41 | not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. | Ac 10:39 Ac 1:2 Ac 1:3 Ac 1:22 Ac 13:31 Jn 14:17 Jn 14:22 Jn 20:1-21 |
| 42 | He charged us to preach to the people, and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead. | Ac 1:8 Ac 4:19 Ac 4:20 Ac 5:20 Ac 5:29-32 Mt 28:19 Mt 28:20 Mk 16:15 Mk 16:16 Lk 24:47 Lk 24:48 Jn 21:21 Jn 21:22 |
| 43 | All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins." | Ac 26:22 Isa 53:11 Jer 31:34 Dn 9:24 Mic 7:18 Zc 13:1 Mal 4:2 Lk 24:25-27 Lk 24:44-46 Jn 1:45 Jn 5:39 Jn 5:40 1Pe 1:11 Rev 19:10 |
| 44 | While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word. | Ac 2:2-4 Ac 4:31 Ac 8:15-17 Ac 11:15 Ac 19:6 |
| 45 | They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles. | Ac 10:23 Ac 11:3 Ac 11:15-18 Ga 3:13 Ga 3:14 |
| 46 | For they heard them speak with other languages, and magnify God. Then Peter answered, | Ac 2:4 Ac 2:11 Ac 19:6 1Co 14:20-25 |
| 47 | "Can any man forbid the water, that these who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we should not be baptized,?" | Ac 8:12 Ac 8:36 Ac 11:15-17 Ac 15:8 Ac 15:9 Gn 17:24-26 Ro 4:11 Ro 10:12 |
| 48 | He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days. | Jn 4:2 1Co 1:13-17 Ga 3:27 |
