Act 10:1Vir autem quīdam erat in Caesarēā, nōmine Cornēlius, centuriō cohortis quae dīcitur Italica, religiōsus, ac timēns Deum cum omnī domō suā, faciēns eleēmosynās multās plēbī, et dēprecāns Deum semper.Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion of the cohort which is called the Italian, devout, and fearing God with all his house, doing many alms to the people, and praying to God always. Act 10:3Is vīdit in vīsū manifestē, quasi hōrā diēī nōnā, angelum Deī introëuntem ad sē, et dīcentem sibi: Cornēlī.He saw in a vision clearly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him: "Cornelius." Act 10:4At ille intuēns eum, timōre correptus, dīxit: Quid est, domine?And he, gazing at him, seized with fear, said: "What is it, lord?" Act 10:4Dīxit autem illī: Ōrātiōnēs tuae et eleēmosynae tuae ascendērunt in memoriam in cōnspectū Deī.And he said to him: "Your prayers and your alms have gone up for a memorial in the sight of God. Act 10:5Et nunc mitte virōs in Joppēn, et accersī Simōnem quemdam, quī cognōminātur Petrus: hic hospitātur apud Simōnem quemdam coriārium, cujus est domus jūxtā mare: hic dīcet tibi quid tē oporteat facere.And now send men to Joppa, and summon a certain Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he is lodging with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is beside the sea: he will tell you what you must do."
Act 10:7Et cum discessisset angelus quī loquēbātur illī, vocāvit duōs domesticōs suōs, et mīlitem metuentem Dominum ex hīs quī illī pārēbant.And when the angel who was speaking to him had departed, he called two of his household servants, and a soldier who feared the Lord, from those who were obeying him. Act 10:8Quibus cum narrāsset omnia, mīsit illōs in Joppēn.And when he had related all things to them, he sent them to Joppa. Act 10:9Posterā autem diē, iter illīs facientibus, et appropinquantibus cīvitātī, ascendit Petrus in superiōra ut ōrāret circā hōram sextam.And on the next day, while they were making the journey, and drawing near to the city, Peter went up to the upper parts to pray, about the sixth hour. Act 10:10Et cum ēsurīret, voluit gustāre.And since he was hungry, he wanted to taste food. Act 10:10Parantibus autem illīs, cecidit super eum mentis excessus: et vīdit caelum apertum, et dēscendēns vās quoddam, velut linteum magnum, quatuor initiīs submittī dē caelō in terram, in quō erant omnia quadrupedia, et serpentia terrae, et volātilia caelī.But while they were preparing it, there fell upon him a departure of mind: and he saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel coming down, like a great linen sheet, being let down by four corners from heaven to the earth, in which were all the four-footed creatures, and creeping things of the earth, and flying things of the sky.
Act 10:13Et facta est vōx ad eum: Surge, Petre: occīde, et mandūcā.And there came a voice to him: "Rise, Peter: kill, and eat." Act 10:14Ait autem Petrus: Absit Domine, quia numquam mandūcāvī omne commūne et immundum.But Peter said: "Far be it, Lord, because I have never eaten anything common and unclean." Act 10:15Et vōx iterum secundō ad eum: Quod Deus pūrificāvit, tū commūne nē dīxerīs.And the voice again a second time to him: "What God has purified, do not you call common." Act 10:16Hoc autem factum est per ter: et statim receptum est vās in caelum.And this was done three times: and at once the vessel was taken back into heaven. Act 10:17Et dum intrā sē haesitāret Petrus quidnam esset vīsiō quam vīdisset, ecce virī quī missī erant ā Cornēliō, inquīrentēs domum Simōnis astitērunt ad jānuam.And while Peter was in doubt within himself what the vision which he had seen might be, look, the men who had been sent by Cornelius, inquiring for the house of Simon, stood at the door. Act 10:18Et cum vocāssent, interrogābant, sī Simōn quī cognōminātur Petrus illīc habēret hospitium.And when they had called out, they were asking whether Simon, who is surnamed Peter, had lodging there.
Act 10:19Petrō autem cōgitante dē vīsiōne, dīxit Spīritus eī: Ecce virī trēs quaerunt tē.And while Peter was thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him: "Look, three men are seeking you. Act 10:20Surge itaque, dēscende, et vāde cum eīs nihil dubitāns: quia ego mīsī illōs.Rise therefore, go down, and go with them doubting nothing: because I have sent them." Act 10:21Dēscendēns autem Petrus ad virōs, dīxit: Ecce ego sum, quem quaeritis: quae causa est, propter quam vēnistis?And Peter, going down to the men, said: "Look, I am the one whom you seek: what is the cause on account of which you have come?" Act 10:22Quī dīxērunt: Cornēlius centuriō, vir jūstus et timēns Deum, et testimōnium habēns ab ūniversā gente Jūdaeōrum, respōnsum accēpit ab angelō sānctō accersīre tē in domum suam, et audīre verba abs tē.And they said: "Cornelius the centurion, a just man and one fearing God, and having testimony from the whole nation of the Jews, received an answer from a holy angel to summon you into his house, and to hear words from you." Act 10:23Intrōdūcēns ergō eōs, recēpit hospitiō.So bringing them in, he received them as guests.
Act 10:23Sequentī autem diē, surgēns profectus est cum illīs, et quīdam ex frātribus ab Joppē comitātī sunt eum.And on the following day, rising, he set out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him. Act 10:24Alterā autem diē introīvit Caesarēam.And on the next day he went into Caesarea. Act 10:24Cornēlius vērō exspectābat illōs, convocātīs cognātīs suīs et necessāriīs amīcīs.But Cornelius was waiting for them, his kinsmen and close friends having been called together. Act 10:25Et factum est cum introīsset Petrus, obvius vēnit eī Cornēlius, et prōcidēns ad pedēs ejus adōrāvit.And it came about, when Peter had come in, Cornelius came to meet him, and falling down at his feet he worshipped. Act 10:26Petrus vērō ēlevāvit eum, dīcēns: Surge: et ego ipse homō sum.But Peter lifted him up, saying: "Rise: I myself too am a man." Act 10:27Et loquēns cum illō intrāvit, et invēnit multōs quī convēnerant: dīxitque ad illōs: Vōs scītis quōmodo abōminātum sit virō Jūdaeō conjungī aut accēdere ad aliēnigenam: sed mihi ostendit Deus nēminem commūnem aut immundum dīcere hominem.And speaking with him he went in, and found many who had come together: and he said to them: "You know how abominable it is for a Jewish man to be joined to, or to approach, a foreigner: but God has shown me to call no man common or unclean.
Act 10:29Propter quod sine dubitātiōne vēnī accersītus.On account of which I came without hesitation when summoned. Act 10:29Interrogō ergō, quam ob causam accersīstis mē?I ask therefore, for what cause have you summoned me?" Act 10:30Et Cornēlius ait: Ā nūdiusquārtā diē ūsque ad hanc hōram, ōrāns eram hōrā nōnā in domō meā, et ecce vir stetit ante mē in veste candidā, et ait: Cornēlī, exaudīta est ōrātiō tua, et eleēmosynae tuae commemorātae sunt in cōnspectū Deī.And Cornelius said: "From the fourth day back until this hour, I was praying at the ninth hour in my house, and look, a man stood before me in bright clothing, and said: 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your alms have been remembered in the sight of God. Act 10:32Mitte ergō in Joppēn, et accersī Simōnem quī cognōminātur Petrus: hic hospitātur in domō Simōnis coriāriī jūxtā mare.Send therefore to Joppa, and summon Simon who is surnamed Peter: he is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, beside the sea.' Act 10:33Cōnfestim ergō mīsī ad tē: et tū benefēcistī veniendō.At once therefore I sent to you: and you have done well in coming. Act 10:33Nunc ergō omnēs nōs in cōnspectū tuō adsumus audīre omnia quaecumque tibi praecepta sunt ā Dominō.Now therefore we are all present in your sight to hear all things whatever have been commanded to you by the Lord."
Act 10:34Aperiēns autem Petrus ōs suum, dīxit: In vēritāte comperī quia nōn est persōnārum acceptor Deus;And Peter, opening his mouth, said: "In truth I have found that God is not a respecter of persons; Act 10:35Sed in omnī gente quī timet eum, et operātur jūstitiam, acceptus est illī.but in every nation he who fears him, and works justice, is acceptable to him. Act 10:36Verbum mīsit Deus fīliīs Isrāël, annūntiāns pācem per Jēsum Chrīstum (hic est omnium Dominus).The word God sent to the sons of Israel, announcing peace through Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all). Act 10:37Vōs scītis quod factum est verbum per ūniversam Jūdaeam: incipiēns enim ā Galilaeā post baptismum quod praedicāvit Jōannēs, Jēsum ā Nazareth: quōmodo ūnxit eum Deus Spīritū Sānctō, et virtūte, quī pertrānsiit benefaciendō, et sānandō omnēs oppressōs ā diabolō, quoniam Deus erat cum illō.You know the word which was made throughout all Judea: for beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached, Jesus from Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit, and with power, who passed through doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, since God was with him. Act 10:39Et nōs testēs sumus omnium quae fēcit in regiōne Jūdaeōrum, et Jerūsalem, quem occīdērunt suspendentēs in lignō.And we are witnesses of all the things which he did in the region of the Jews, and in Jerusalem, whom they killed, hanging him on wood.
Act 10:40Hunc Deus suscitāvit tertiā diē, et dedit eum manifestum fierī, nōn omnī populō, sed testibus praeordinātīs ā Deō: nōbīs, quī mandūcāvimus et bibimus cum illō postquam resurrēxit ā mortuīs.This man God raised up on the third day, and granted him to become manifest, not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen beforehand by God: to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. Act 10:42Et praecēpit nōbīs praedicāre populō, et testificārī, quia ipse est quī cōnstitūtus est ā Deō jūdex vīvōrum et mortuōrum.And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to bear witness, that he it is who has been appointed by God judge of the living and of the dead. Act 10:43Huic omnēs prophētae testimōnium perhibent remissiōnem peccātōrum accipere per nōmen ejus omnēs quī crēdunt in eum.To him all the prophets bear witness, that all who believe in him receive remission of sins through his name." Act 10:44Adhūc loquente Petrō verba haec, cecidit Spīritus Sānctus super omnēs quī audiēbant verbum.While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were hearing the word.
Act 10:45Et obstupuērunt ex circumcīsiōne fidēlēs quī vēnerant cum Petrō, quia et in nātiōnēs grātia Spīritūs Sānctī effūsa est.And the faithful of the circumcision who had come with Peter were astounded, because upon the gentiles too the grace of the Holy Spirit had been poured out. Act 10:46Audiēbant enim illōs loquentēs linguīs, et magnificantēs Deum.For they were hearing them speaking in tongues, and magnifying God. Act 10:47Tunc respondit Petrus: Numquid aquam quis prohibēre potest ut nōn baptizentur hī quī Spīritum Sānctum accēpērunt sīcut et nōs?Then Peter answered: "Surely no one can forbid water, so that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we too have?" Act 10:48Et jussit eōs baptizārī in nōmine Dominī Jēsū Chrīstī.And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Act 10:48Tunc rogāvērunt eum ut manēret apud eōs aliquot diēbus.Then they asked him to stay with them for some days.
