ACT

Chapter 10

　1:　There was a man in Caesarea named Cornelius, who was a

　　captain in the Roman army regiment called "The Italian

　　Regiment."

　2:　He was a religious man; he and his whole family worshiped

　　God. He also did much to help the Jewish poor people and

　　was constantly praying to God.

　3:　It was about three o'clock one afternoon when he had a

　　vision, in which he clearly saw an angel of God come in and

　　say to him, "Cornelius!"

　4:　He stared at the angel in fear and said, "What is it,

　　sir?" /The angel answered, "God is pleased with your

　　prayers and works of charity, and is ready to answer you.

　5:　And now send some men to Joppa for a certain man whose

　　full name is Simon Peter.

　6:　He is a guest in the home of a tanner of leather named

　　Simon, who lives by the sea."

　7:　Then the angel went away, and Cornelius called two of his

　　house servants and a soldier, a religious man who was one

　　of his personal attendants.
