Apostol § 25

In those days, Peter went down to the men who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said unto them, “Yes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason have you come?” And they said, “Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one who fears God, [who] has a good reputation among all the nation of the Jews, was instructed from God by a holy Angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you.” Then he invited them in and lodged them. And on the next day Peter went away with them, and some brethren from Joppa accompanied him. And the following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, and had called together his kinsmen and close friends. And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshipped him. But Peter lifted him up, saying, “Stand up; I myself am also a man.” And as he talked with him, he went in and found many who had come together. Then he said unto them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or come unto one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean. Therefore I came unto you without objection as soon as I was sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me?” 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, and said, ‘Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are remembered in the sight of God. Send therefore to Joppa, and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea. Who, when he comes, will speak to thee.’ So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. Now therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things commanded you by God.”
