Disciples’ Literal New Testament

After a Vision, a Gentile Named Cornelius Sends Men To Joppa To Get Peter

10 Now a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name— a centurion^[a] from the cohort^[b] being called “Italian^[c]”, ² a devout one, and one fearing God with all his household, doing many acts-of-almsgiving to the [Jewish] people, and praying to God continually— ³ saw in a vision^[d] clearly^[e], as-if ^[f] it were around the ninth^[g] hour of the day, an angel of God having come-in^[h] to him, and having said to him, “Cornelius!” ⁴ And the one— having looked-intently at him, and having become terrified— said, “What is it, sir^[i]?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your acts-of-almsgiving went up for a memorial before God. ⁵ And now, send men to Joppa, and send-for a certain Simon who is called Peter. ⁶ This one is lodging with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is beside the sea”. ⁷ And when the angel speaking to him departed, having called two of his household-servants and a devout soldier from the ones attaching-themselves^[j] to him, ⁸ and having described everything to them, he sent them forth to Joppa.
