Acts 10:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² A religious man, and fearing God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and always praying to God.

³ This man saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him, and saying to him: Cornelius.

⁴ And he, beholding him, being seized with fear, said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God.
