Actus Apostolorum 10

VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Vir autem quidam erat in Cæsarea, nomine Cornelius, centurio cohortis quæ dicitur Italica,	1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
2 religiosus, ac timens Deum cum omni domo sua, faciens eleemosynas multas plebi, et deprecans Deum semper.	2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
3 Is vidit in visu manifeste, quasi hora diei nona, angelum Dei introëuntem ad se, et dicentem sibi : Corneli.	3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
4 At ille intuens eum, timore correptus, dixit : Quid est, domine ? Dixit autem illi : Orationes tuæ et eleemosynæ tuæ ascenderunt in memoriam in conspectu Dei.	4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
5 Et nunc mitte viros in Joppen, et accersi Simonem quemdam, qui cognominatur Petrus :	5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
6 hic hospitatur apud Simonem quemdam coriarium, cujus est domus juxta mare : hic dicet tibi quid te oporteat facere.	6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
7 Et cum discessisset angelus qui loquebatur illi, vocavit duos domesticos suos, et militem metuentem Dominum ex his qui illi parebant.	7 And 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 continually;
8 Quibus cum narrasset omnia, misit illos in Joppen.	8 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Postera autem die, iter illis facientibus, et appropinquantibus civitati, ascendit Petrus in superiora ut oraret circa horam sextam.	9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
10 Et cum esuriret, voluit gustare. Parantibus autem illis, cecidit super eum mentis excessus :	10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11 et vidit cælum apertum, et descendens vas quoddam, velut linteum magnum, quatuor initiis submitti de cælo in terram,	11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 in quo erant omnia quadrupedia, et serpentia terræ, et volatilia cæli.	12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 Et facta est vox ad eum : Surge, Petre : occide, et manduca.	13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 Ait autem Petrus : Absit Domine, quia numquam manducavi omne commune et immundum.	14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 Et vox iterum secundo ad eum : Quod Deus purificavit, tu commune ne dixeris.	15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16 Hoc autem factum est per ter : et statim receptum est vas in cælum.	16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
17 Et dum intra se hæsitaret Petrus quidnam esset visio quam vidisset, ecce viri qui missi erant a Cornelio, inquirentes domum Simonis astiterunt ad januam.	17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
18 Et cum vocassent, interrogabant, si Simon qui cognominatur Petrus illic haberet hospitium.	18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19 Petro autem cogitante de visione, dixit Spiritus ei : Ecce viri tres quærunt te.	19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20 Surge itaque, descende, et vade cum eis nihil dubitans : quia ego misi illos.	20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21 Descendens autem Petrus ad viros, dixit : Ecce ego sum, quem quæritis : quæ causa est, propter quam venistis ?	21 Then 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 Qui dixerunt : Cornelius centurio, vir justus et timens Deum, et testimonium habens ab universa gente Judæorum, responsum accepit ab angelo sancto accersire te in domum suam, et audire verba abs te.	22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
23 Introducens ergo eos, recepit hospitio. Sequenti autem die, surgens profectus est cum illis, et quidam ex fratribus ab Joppe comitati sunt eum.	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 Altera autem die introivit Cæsaream. Cornelius vero exspectabat illos, convocatis cognatis suis et necessariis amicis.	24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25 Et factum est cum introisset Petrus, obvius venit ei Cornelius, et procidens ad pedes ejus adoravit.	25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
26 Petrus vero elevavit eum, dicens : Surge : et ego ipse homo sum.	26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
27 Et loquens cum illo intravit, et invenit multos qui convenerant :	27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
28 dixitque ad illos : Vos scitis quomodo abominatum sit viro Judæo conjungi aut accedere ad alienigenam : sed mihi ostendit Deus neminem communem aut immundum dicere hominem.	28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
29 Propter quod sine dubitatione veni accersitus. Interrogo ergo, quam ob causam accersistis me ?	29 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
30 Et Cornelius ait : A nudiusquarta die usque ad hanc horam, orans eram hora nona in domo mea, et ecce vir stetit ante me in veste candida, et ait :	30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 Corneli, exaudita est oratio tua, et eleemosynæ tuæ commemoratæ sunt in conspectu Dei.	31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
32 Mitte ergo in Joppen, et accersi Simonem qui cognominatur Petrus : hic hospitatur in domo Simonis coriarii juxta mare.	32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
33 Confestim ergo misi ad te : et tu benefecisti veniendo. Nunc ergo omnes nos in conspectu tuo adsumus audire omnia quæcumque tibi præcepta sunt a Domino.	33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
34 Aperiens autem Petrus os suum, dixit : In veritate comperi quia non est personarum acceptor Deus ;	34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 sed in omni gente qui timet eum, et operatur justitiam, acceptus est illi.	35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
36 Verbum misit Deus filiis Israël, annuntians pacem per Jesum Christum (hic est omnium Dominus).	36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
37 Vos scitis quod factum est verbum per universam Judæam : incipiens enim a Galilæa post baptismum quod prædicavit Joannes,	37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 Jesum a Nazareth : quomodo unxit eum Deus Spiritu Sancto, et virtute, qui pertransiit benefaciendo, et sanando omnes oppressos a diabolo, quoniam Deus erat cum illo.	38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
39 Et nos testes sumus omnium quæ fecit in regione Judæorum, et Jerusalem, quem occiderunt suspendentes in ligno.	39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
40 Hunc Deus suscitavit tertia die, et dedit eum manifestum fieri,	40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
41 non omni populo, sed testibus præordinatis a Deo : nobis, qui manducavimus et bibimus cum illo postquam resurrexit a mortuis.	41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
42 Et præcepit nobis prædicare populo, et testificari, quia ipse est qui constitutus est a Deo judex vivorum et mortuorum.	42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
43 Huic omnes prophetæ testimonium perhibent remissionem peccatorum accipere per nomen ejus omnes qui credunt in eum.	43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 Adhuc loquente Petro verba hæc, cecidit Spiritus Sanctus super omnes qui audiebant verbum.	44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45 Et obstupuerunt ex circumcisione fideles qui venerant cum Petro, quia et in nationes gratia Spiritus Sancti effusa est.	45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 Audiebant enim illos loquentes linguis, et magnificantes Deum.	46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 Tunc respondit Petrus : Numquid aquam quis prohibere potest ut non baptizentur hi qui Spiritum Sanctum acceperunt sicut et nos ?	47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 Et jussit eos baptizari in nomine Domini Jesu Christi. Tunc rogaverunt eum ut maneret apud eos aliquot diebus.	48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
