Atos 10 - Bíblia Online

There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, 
A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always. 
He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. 
And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Your prayers and your alms are come up for a memorial before God. 
And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: 
He lodges with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the seaside: he shall tell you what you ought to do. 
And when the angel who spoke unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually; 
And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa. 
On the next day, as they went on their journey, and drew near unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 
And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 
And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet held at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 
In which were all manner of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean. 
And the voice spoke unto him again the second time, What God has cleansed, that call not common. 
This was done three times: and the vessel was received up again into heaven. 
Now while Peter wondered in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate, 
And called, and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was lodged there. 
While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek you. 
Arise therefore, and get down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them. 
Then Peter went down to the men who were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom you seek: what is the cause for which you are come? 
And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that fears God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for you to come into his house, and to hear words from you. 
Then he called them in, and lodged them. And on the next day Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him. 
And the next day they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends. 
And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshiped him. 
But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man. 
And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together. 
And he said unto them, You know that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God has showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. 
Therefore I came unto you without questioning as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent you have 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, your prayer is heard, and your alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. 
Send therefore to Joppa, and call here Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the seaside: who, when he comes, shall speak unto you. 
Immediately therefore I sent to you; and you have done well that you are come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded you of God. 
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 
But in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted with him. 
The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) 
That word, I say, you know, which was published throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; 
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. 
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 
Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly; 
Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. 
And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he who was ordained of God to be the Judge of the living and dead. 
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believes in him shall receive remission of sins. 
While Peter yet spoke these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them who heard the word. 
And they of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit. 
For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we? 
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to tarry certain days.
