10:1  vir autem quidam erat in Caesarea      1.  There was a certain man in Caesarea
nomine Cornelius centurio cohortis quae      called Cornelius, a centurion of the
dicitur Italica                              band called the Italian band,

10:2  religiosus et timens Deum cum          2.  A devout man, and one that feared
omni domo sua faciens elemosynas multas      God with all his house, which gave much
plebi et deprecans Deum semper               alms to the people, and prayed to God
                                             alway.

10:3  vidit in visu manifeste quasi          3.  He saw in a vision evidently about
hora nona diei angelum Dei introeuntem       the ninth hour of the day an angel of
ad se et dicentem sibi Corneli               God coming in to him, and saying unto
                                             him, Cornelius.

10:4  at ille intuens eum timore             4.  And when he looked on him, he was
correptus dixit quid est domine dixit        afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And
autem illi orationes tuae et elemosynae      he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine
tuae ascenderunt in memoriam in              alms are come up for a memorial before
conspectu Dei                                God.

10:5  et nunc mitte viros in Ioppen et       5.  And now send men to Joppa, and call
accersi Simonem quendam qui                  for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
cognominatur Petrus

10:6  hic hospitatur apud Simonem            6.  He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner,
quendam coriarium cuius est domus iuxta      whose house is by the sea side: he
mare                                         shall tell thee what thou oughtest to
                                             do.

10:7  et cum discessisset angelus qui        7.  And when the angel which spake unto
loquebatur illi vocavit duos domesticos      Cornelius was departed, he called two
suos et militem metuentem Dominum ex         of his household servants, and a devout
his qui illi parebant                        soldier of them that waited on him
                                             continually;

10:8  quibus cum narrasset omnia misit       8.  And when he had declared all these
illos in Ioppen                              things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.

10:9  postera autem die iter illis           9.  On the morrow, as they went on
facientibus et adpropinquantibus             their journey, and drew nigh unto the
civitati ascendit Petrus in superiora        city, Peter went up upon the housetop
ut oraret circa horam sextam                 to pray about the sixth hour:

10:10  et cum esuriret voluit gustare        10.  And he became very hungry, and
parantibus autem eis cecidit super eum       would have eaten: but while they made
mentis excessus                              ready, he fell into a trance,

10:11  et videt caelum apertum et            11.  And saw heaven opened, and a
descendens vas quoddam velut linteum         certain vessel descending upon him, as
magnum quattuor initiis submitti de          it had been a great sheet knit at the
caelo in terram                              four corners, and let down to the earth:

10:12  in quo erant omnia quadrupedia        12.  Wherein were all manner of
et serpentia terrae et volatilia caeli       fourfooted beasts of the earth, and
                                             wild beasts, and creeping things, and
                                             fowls of the air.

10:13  et facta est vox ad eum surge         13.  And there came a voice to him,
Petre et occide et manduca                   Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

10:14  ait autem Petrus absit Domine         14.  But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for
quia numquam manducavi omne commune et       I have never eaten any thing that is
inmundum                                     common or unclean.

10:15  et vox iterum secundo ad eum          15.  And the voice spake unto him again
quae Deus purificavit ne tu commune          the second time, What God hath
dixeris                                      cleansed, that call not thou common.

10:16  hoc autem factum est per ter et       16.  This was done thrice: and the
statim receptum est vas in caelum            vessel was received up again into
                                             heaven.

10:17  et dum intra se haesitaret            17.  Now while Peter doubted in himself
Petrus quidnam esset visio quam              what this vision which he had seen
vidisset ecce viri qui missi erant a         should mean, behold, the men which were
Cornelio inquirentes domum Simonis           sent from Cornelius had made enquiry
adstiterunt ad ianuam                        for Simon's house, and stood before the
                                             gate,

10:18  et cum vocassent interrogabant        18.  And called, and asked whether
si Simon qui cognominatur Petrus illic       Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were
haberet hospitium                            lodged there.

10:19  Petro autem cogitante de visione      19.  While Peter thought on the vision,
dixit Spiritus ei ecce viri tres             the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three
quaerunt te                                  men seek thee.

10:20  surge itaque et descende et vade      20.  Arise therefore, and get thee
cum eis nihil dubitans quia ego misi         down, and go with them, doubting
illos                                        nothing: for I have sent them.

10:21  descendens autem Petrus ad viros      21.  Then Peter went down to the men
dixit ecce ego sum quem quaeritis quae       which were sent unto him from
causa est propter quam venistis              Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he
                                             whom ye seek: what is the cause
                                             wherefore ye are come?

10:22  qui dixerunt Cornelius centurio       22.  And they said, Cornelius the
vir iustus et timens Deum et                 centurion, a just man, and one that
testimonium habens ab universa gente         feareth God, and of good report among
Iudaeorum responsum accepit ab angelo        all the nation of the Jews, was warned
sancto accersire te in domum suam et         from God by an holy angel to send for
audire verba abs te                          thee into his house, and to hear words
                                             of thee.

10:23  introducens igitur eos recepit        23.  Then called he them in, and lodged
hospitio sequenti autem die surgens          them. And on the morrow Peter went away
profectus est cum eis et quidam ex           with them, and certain brethren from
fratribus ab Ioppe comitati sunt eum         Joppa accompanied him.

10:24  altera autem die introivit            24.  And the morrow after they entered
Caesaream Cornelius vero expectabat          into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for
illos convocatis cognatis suis et            them, and he had called together his
necessariis amicis                           kinsmen and near friends.

10:25  et factum est cum introisset          25.  And as Peter was coming in,
Petrus obvius ei Cornelius et procidens      Cornelius met him, and fell down at his
ad pedes adoravit                            feet, and worshipped him.

10:26  Petrus vero levavit eum dicens        26.  But Peter took him up, saying,
surge et ego ipse homo sum                   Stand up; I myself also am a man.

10:27  et loquens cum illo intravit et       27.  And as he talked with him, he went
invenit multos qui convenerant               in, and found many that were come
                                             together.

10:28  dixitque ad illos vos scitis          28.  And he said unto them, Ye know how
quomodo abominatum sit viro iudaeo           that it is an unlawful thing for a man
coniungi aut accedere ad alienigenam et      that is a Jew to keep company, or come
mihi ostendit Deus neminem communem aut      unto one of another nation; but God
inmundum dicere hominem                      hath shewed me that I should not call
                                             any man common or unclean.

10:29  propter quod sine dubitatione         29.  Therefore came I unto you without
veni accersitus interrogo ergo quam ob       gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for:
causam accersistis me                        I ask therefore for what intent ye have
                                             sent for me?

10:30  et Cornelius ait a nudius             30.  And Cornelius said, Four days ago
quartana die usque in hanc horam orans       I was fasting until this hour; and at
eram hora nona in domo mea et ecce vir       the ninth hour I prayed in my house,
stetit ante me in veste candida et ait       and, behold, a man stood before me in
                                             bright clothing,

10:31  Corneli exaudita est oratio tua       31.  And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is
et elemosynae tuae commemoratae sunt in      heard, and thine alms are had in
conspectu Dei                                remembrance in the sight of God.

10:32  mitte ergo in Ioppen et accersi       32.  Send therefore to Joppa, and call
Simonem qui cognominatur Petrus hic          hither Simon, whose surname is Peter;
hospitatur in domo Simonis coriarii          he is lodged in the house of one Simon
iuxta mare                                   a tanner by the sea side: who, when he
                                             cometh, shall speak unto thee.

10:33  confestim igitur misi ad te et        33.  Immediately therefore I sent to
tu bene fecisti veniendo nunc ergo           thee; and thou hast well done that thou
omnes nos in conspectu tuo adsumus           art come. Now therefore are we all here
audire omnia quaecumque tibi praecepta       present before God, to hear all things
sunt a Domino                                that are commanded thee of God.

10:34  aperiens autem Petrus os dixit        34.  Then Peter opened his mouth, and
in veritate conperi quoniam non est          said, Of a truth I perceive that God is
personarum acceptor Deus                     no respecter of persons:

10:35  sed in omni gente qui timet eum       35.  But in every nation he that
et operatur iustitiam acceptus est illi      feareth him, and worketh righteousness,
                                             is accepted with him.

10:36  verbum misit filiis Israhel           36.  The word which God sent unto the
adnuntians pacem per Iesum Christum hic      children of Israel, preaching peace by
est omnium Dominus                           Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

10:37  vos scitis quod factum est            37.  That word, I say, ye know, which
verbum per universam Iudaeam incipiens       was published throughout all Judaea,
enim a Galilaea post baptismum quod          and began from Galilee, after the
praedicavit Iohannes                         baptism which John preached;

10:38  Iesum a Nazareth quomodo unxit        38.  How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
eum Deus Spiritu Sancto et virtute qui       with the Holy Ghost and with power: who
pertransivit benefaciendo et sanando         went about doing good, and healing all
omnes oppressos a diabolo quoniam Deus       that were oppressed of the devil; for
erat cum illo                                God was with him.

10:39  et nos testes sumus omnium quae       39.  And we are witnesses of all things
fecit in regione Iudaeorum et                which he did both in the land of the
Hierusalem quem et occiderunt                Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew
suspendentes in ligno                        and hanged on a tree:

10:40  hunc Deus suscitavit tertia die       40.  Him God raised up the third day,
et dedit eum manifestum fieri                and shewed him openly;

10:41  non omni populo sed testibus          41.  Not to all the people, but unto
praeordinatis a Deo nobis qui                witnesses chosen before God, even to
manducavimus et bibimus cum illo             us, who did eat and drink with him
postquam resurrexit a mortuis                after he rose from the dead.

10:42  et praecepit nobis praedicare         42.  And he commanded us to preach unto
populo et testificari quia ipse est qui      the people, and to testify that it is
constitutus est a Deo iudex vivorum et       he which was ordained of God to be the
mortuorum                                    Judge of quick and dead.

10:43  huic omnes prophetae testimonium      43.  To him give all the prophets
perhibent remissionem peccatorum             witness, that through his name
accipere per nomen eius omnes qui            whosoever believeth in him shall
credunt in eum                               receive remission of sins.

10:44  adhuc loquente Petro verba haec       44.  While Peter yet spake these words,
cecidit Spiritus Sanctus super omnes         the Holy Ghost fell on all them which
qui audiebant verbum                         heard the word.

10:45  et obstipuerunt ex circumcisione      45.  And they of the circumcision which
fideles qui venerant cum Petro quia et       believed were astonished, as many as
in nationes gratia Spiritus Sancti           came with Peter, because that on the
effusa est                                   Gentiles also was poured out the gift
                                             of the Holy Ghost.

10:46  audiebant enim illos loquentes        46.  For they heard them speak with
linguis et magnificantes Deum                tongues, and magnify God. Then answered
                                             Peter,

10:47  tunc respondit Petrus numquid         47.  Can any man forbid water, that
aquam quis prohibere potest ut non           these should not be baptized, which
baptizentur hii qui Spiritum Sanctum         have received the Holy Ghost as well as
acceperunt sicut et nos                      we?

10:48  et iussit eos in nomine Iesu          48.  And he commanded them to be
Christi baptizari tunc rogaverunt eum        baptized in the name of the Lord. Then
ut maneret aliquot diebus                    prayed they him to tarry certain days.
