Acts

²⁹That’s why I didn’t argue when your men asked me to come here. Now, please tell me why you sent for me.” ³⁰Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was praying in my house. It was at this same time—three o’clock in the afternoon. Suddenly there was someone standing before me wearing bright, shiny clothes. ³¹He said, ‘Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and has seen your gifts to the poor. He remembers you and all you have done. ³²So send some men to the city of Joppa and tell Simon Peter to come. He is staying with another man named Simon, a leatherworker who has a house beside the sea.’ ³³So I sent for you immediately. It was very good of you to come here. Now we are all here before God to hear everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.” ³⁴Peter began to speak: “I really understand now that God does not consider some people to be better than others. ³⁵He accepts anyone who worships him and does what is right. It is not important what nation they come from.
