³ and because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further, and took Peter also. Then were the days of sweetbread. ⁴ And when he had caught him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to be kept, intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. ⁵ Then was Peter kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing of the congregation unto God for him. ⁶ And when Herod would have brought him out unto the people, the same night slept Peter between two soldiers, bound with two chains; And the keepers before the door kept the prison. ⁷ And behold, the angel of the Lord was there present, and a light shined in the lodge. And he smote Peter on the side, and stirred him up, saying, "Arise up quickly." And his chains fell off from his hands. ⁸ And the angel said unto him, "Gird thyself and bind on thy sandals." And so he did. And he said unto him, "Cast on thy mantle about thee, and follow me." ⁹ And he came out, and followed him: and wist not that it was truth which was done by the angel; but thought he had seen a vision. ¹⁰ When they were past the first and the second watch, they came unto the iron gate, that leadeth unto the city, which opened to them by his own accord. And they went out and passed through one street, and by and by the angel departed from him. ¹¹ And when Peter was come to himself, he said, "Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the waiting for of the people of the Jews." ¹² And as he considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of one John, which was called Mark also, where many were gathered together in prayer. ¹³ As Peter knocked at the entry door, a damsel came forth to hearken, named Rhoda. ¹⁴ And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the entry for gladness, but ran in and told how Peter stood before the entry. ¹⁵ And they said unto her, "Thou art mad."

And he descended from Jewry to Caesarea, and there abode.

¹ There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a captain of the soldiers of Italy, ² a devout man, and one that feared God with all his household, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed God always. ³ The same man saw in a vision evidently, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming into him, and saying unto him, "Cornelius." ⁴ When he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, "What is it Lord?" He said unto him, "Thy prayers and thy alms are come up into remembrance before God. ⁵ And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon named also Peter. ⁶ He lodgeth with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside. He shall tell thee, what thou oughtest to do." ⁷ When the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him, ⁸ and told them all the matter, and sent them to Joppa. ⁹ On the morrow as they went on their journey and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went upon the top of the house to pray, about the sixth hour. ¹⁰ Then waxed he a hungered, and would have eaten. But while they made ready for him, he fell into a trance, ¹¹ and saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel come down unto him, as it had been a great sheet, knit at the four corners, and was let down to the earth, ¹² wherein were all manner of four footed beasts of the earth and vermin and worms, and fouls of the air. ¹³ And there came a voice to him, "Rise, Peter. Kill and eat." ¹⁴ But Peter said, "God forbid Lord, for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean." ¹⁵ And the voice spake unto him again the second time, "What God hath cleansed that make thou not common." ¹⁶ This was done thrice; And the vessel was received up again into heaven. ¹⁷ While Peter mused in himself what this vision which he had seen meant, behold: the men which were sent from Cornelius, had made inquirance for Simon's house, and stood before the door. ¹⁸ And called out one and asked whether Simon, which was also called Peter, were lodged there. ¹⁹ While Peter thought on this vision, the spirit said unto him, "Behold, men seek thee: arise therefore, get thee down, ²⁰ and go with them, and doubt not. For I have sent them." ²¹ Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius, and said, "Behold, I am he, whom ye seek, what is the cause wherefore ye are come?" ²² And they said unto him, "Cornelius the captain, a just man and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the people of the Jews, was warned by a holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee." ²³ Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him. ²⁴ And the third day entered they into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen, and special friends. ²⁵ And as it chanced Peter to come in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. ²⁶ But Peter took him up, saying, "Stand Up: for even I myself am a man." ²⁷ And as he talked with him, he came in, and found many that were come together. ²⁸ And he said unto them, "Ye do know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to company or come unto an alien: But God hath showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean: ²⁹ therefore came I unto you without saying nay, as soon as I was sent for. I ask therefore: for what intent have ye sent for me?" ³⁰ And Cornelius said, "This day now four days I fasted, and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, ³¹ and said, 'Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms deeds are had in remembrance in the sight of God. ³² Send therefore to Joppa, and call for Simon, which is also called Peter. He is lodged in the house of one Simon, a tanner, by the seaside: the which as soon as he is come, shall speak unto thee.' ³³ Then sent I for thee immediately, and thou hast well done for to come. Now are we all here, present before God to hear all things that are commanded unto thee of God." ³⁴ Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, "Of a truth I perceive, that God is not partial: ³⁵ but in all people, he that feareth him and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. ³⁶ Ye know the preaching that God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, which is Lord over all things; ³⁷ which preaching was published throughout all Jewry, and began in Galilee, after the baptism preached by John; ³⁸ How God had anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy ghost, and with power; which Jesus went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devils, for God was with him. ³⁹ And we are witnesses of all things which he did in the land of the Jews and at Jerusalem: whom they slew, and hung on tree. ⁴⁰ Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly, ⁴¹ not to all the people, but unto us witnesses chosen before of God, which ate and drank with him, after he arose from death. ⁴² And he commanded unto us to preach unto the people and testify, that it is he that is ordained of God, a judge of quick and dead. ⁴³ To him giveth all the prophets witness, that through his name all that believe in him shall receive remission of sins." ⁴⁴ While Peter yet spake these words, the holy ghost fell on all them which heard the preaching. ⁴⁵ And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the gentiles also was shed out the gift of the holy ghost. ⁴⁶ For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, ⁴⁷ "Can any man forbid water that these should not be baptised, which have received the holy ghost as well as we?" ⁴⁸ And he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him, to tarry a few days.
