\subsection{Acts 10}
|
|
\VS{1} Now a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, centurion of the cohort
|
|
called Italian,
|
|
\VS{2} devout and fearing God with all his house, doing many
|
|
mercies to the people and requesting of God always,
|
|
\VS{3} saw manifestly in
|
|
[a] dream [about] the ninth hour\footnote{about 3 p.m.} of the day [an] angel of God having come to him and having said: Cornelius.
|
|
\VS{4} So having looked
|
|
intently and having become fearful he said: What is it, Lord? He said to
|
|
him: Your prayers and your mercies have gone up for [a] memorial before God.
|
|
\VS{5} And now send men to Joppa and send for a certain Simon who is called
|
|
Peter.
|
|
\VS{6} This [one] is staying with a certain Simon [the] tanner, who is in [a]
|
|
house by the sea.
|
|
\VS{7} Now as the angel speaking to him departed, having
|
|
called two of the devout house-domestics\footnote{OIKETHS: the root in this word is ``house'; neither the root for ``servant' nor ``slave' is present in this word. The intent is a 'house-domestic', as in ``house-servant' or ``house-slave'} and soldiers adhering to him,
|
|
\VS{8} and having described everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
|
|
\VS{9} Now
|
|
on the morrow, while those [men] were journeying and drawing near to the city,
|
|
Peter went up on the roof to pray around the sixth hour.
|
|
\VS{10} Now be
|
|
became hungry and he wanted to eat. But while he was preparing, [a] trance came
|
|
to pass upon him,
|
|
\VS{11} and he beheld heaven having opened, and some
|
|
object coming down like [a] great linen sheet, with four corners being let down
|
|
upon the earth,
|
|
\VS{12} in which were every four-footed [thing] and reptile of the
|
|
earth and bird of heaven.
|
|
\VS{13} And [a] voice came to pass to him: Having
|
|
arisen, Peter, kill and eat.
|
|
\VS{14} But Peter said: By no means, Lord, for
|
|
I have never eaten everything common\footnote{or ``impure''} and unclean.
|
|
\VS{15} And [the] voice [came] again [a] second time to him: What God has cleansed do not
|
|
be considering common\footnote{or ``impure''}.
|
|
\VS{16} Now this came to pass
|
|
[a] third time, and straightway the linen sheet was taken up into heaven.
|
|
\VS{17} Now as Peter was greatly perplexed in himself what the vision which
|
|
he saw might be, behold the men sent by Cornelius, having asked for the
|
|
house of Simon, stood at the gateway,
|
|
\VS{18} and having called, they
|
|
inquired if Simon called Peter stays here.
|
|
\VS{19} Now while Peter was
|
|
pondering concerning the dream, the spirit said: Behold
|
|
three\footnote{``three" \papyrus{74}\sinaiticus{}\hesychian{} \vulgate{}; ``two" B; ``some" D \koine{} } men seeking you
|
|
\VS{20} So having arisen go down, and be going with them not
|
|
hesitating, for I have sent them.
|
|
\VS{21} So Peter having come down to the
|
|
men said: Behold I am whom you seek; what is the reason for which you are
|
|
present?
|
|
\VS{22} So they said: Cornelius [the] centurion, [a] man just and fearing
|
|
God, having been witnessed by the whole nation of the Jews, was directed by
|
|
[an] angel of the Lord to summon you to his house and to hear words from you.
|
|
\VS{23} Having invited them in, therefore, he stayed. But on the morrow,
|
|
having arisen, he went with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went
|
|
with him.
|
|
\VS{24} So on the morrow they came to Caesarea; now Cornelius was
|
|
awaiting\footnote{or ``looking for,'' ``expecting''} them, having called
|
|
together his relatives and his close friends.
|
|
\VS{25} Now as it came to pass
|
|
[that] Peter came in, having met him, Cornelius having fallen at his feet
|
|
worshipped [him].
|
|
\VS{26} But Peter raised him saying: Arise, for I myself am [a]
|
|
man.
|
|
\VS{27} And conversing with him he came in, and he finds many come
|
|
together,
|
|
\VS{28} and he said to them: You stood since it is unlawful for
|
|
[a] Jewish man to be associating or to be coming to [a] heathen; but God has shown
|
|
me to be saying no man common\footnote{or ``impure''} and unclean.
|
|
\VS{29}
|
|
Therefore I also came, undeniably summoned. I inquire, therefore, for what
|
|
reason you summoned me.
|
|
\VS{30} And Cornelius said: From [the] fourth day until
|
|
this hour I was praying the ninth [hour] in my house, and behold [a] man stood before
|
|
me in radiant apparel,
|
|
\VS{31} and he said: Cornelius, your prayer has been
|
|
heard\footnote{or ``obeyed''} and your mercies remembered before God.
|
|
\VS{32} Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon who is called Peter; this
|
|
[one] stays in the house of Simon [the] tanner by [the] sea.
|
|
\VS{33} Immediately therefore
|
|
I sent to you, and you having done well [are] arrived. Now therefore are we all
|
|
present before God to hear everything commanded to you by the Lord.
|
|
\VS{34}
|
|
So Peter having opened his mouth said: In truth do I understand that God is
|
|
not [a] shower-of-partiality,
|
|
\VS{35} but in every nation the [one] fearing him and
|
|
working justice is acceptable to him.
|
|
\VS{36} The word which he sent to the
|
|
sons [of] Israel, good-newsing peace through Jesus Christ, this [one] is Lord of all.
|
|
\VS{37} You know [that] word having come throughout [the] whole of Judea, beginning
|
|
from Galilee after the baptism which John proclaimed,
|
|
\VS{38} how God
|
|
anointed Jesus the [one] from Nazareth with [the] Holy Spirit and power, who went
|
|
[about] well-doing and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with
|
|
him.
|
|
\VS{39} And we [are] witnesses of everything which he did both in the region
|
|
of Judea and [in] Jerusalem, whom they did away with, having hung [him] on [the] tree.
|
|
\VS{40} God raised this [one] on the third day and gave to him to become visible,
|
|
\VS{41} Not to all the people, but to witnesses pre-appointed by God, who
|
|
ate and drank with him after he was raised from [the] dead.
|
|
\VS{42} And he
|
|
commanded us to proclaim to the people and to testify\footnote{or ``warn''}
|
|
[that] this is the [one] appointed by God [to be] judge of [the] zoe-living\fnZoe{} and [the] dead.
|
|
\VS{43} To this
|
|
[one] all the prophets witnessed, [that] all those believing in him receive
|
|
allowance\footnote{or ``forgiveness''} of sins through his name.
|
|
\VS{44} While Peter was speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those
|
|
hearing [his] word.
|
|
\VS{45} And the believers of the circumcision, as many as
|
|
were gathered with Peter, were astonished, that the gift of the Holy Spirit
|
|
is poured out upon the nations also.
|
|
\VS{46} For they were hearing them
|
|
speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter answered:
|
|
\VS{47} Who is
|
|
able to hinder the water that these not be baptized, whom the Holy Spirit
|
|
has received like us also?
|
|
\VS{48} So he commanded them to be baptized in
|
|
the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked\fnErotao{} him to abide [there] several days.
