23 So he invited them in and entertained them as guests, and on the next day he got up and went away with them. And some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
24 And on the next day he entered into Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, and had called together his relatives and close friends.
25 So it happened that when Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him.
26 But Peter helped him up, saying, “Get up! I myself am also a man!”
27 And as he conversed with him, he went in and found many people gathered.
28 And he said to them, “You know that it is forbidden for a Jewish man to associate with or to approach a foreigner. And to me God has shown that I should call no man common or unclean.
29 Therefore—and without raising any objection—I came when I was sent for. So I ask for what reason you sent for me.”
