Acts 10:23-43

Acts 10:23–24 ESV

So he invited them in to be his guests. The next day he rose and went away with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him. And on the following day they entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him.

But Peter lifted him up, saying, “Stand up; I too am a man.

And as he talked with him, he went in and found many persons gathered.

Acts 10:28 ESV

And he said to them, “You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit anyone of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean.

So when I was sent for, I came without objection. I ask then why you sent for me.”

Acts 10:34 ESV

So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God shows no partiality,

but in every nation anyone who fears him

does what is right is acceptable to him.

As for the word that he sent to Israel

preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all)

you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea

beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power.

He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him

And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem.

They put him to death by hanging him on a tree

but God raised him on the third day and made him to appear

not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as witnesses

who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead

And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead

To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

Acts 10:44 ESV

While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word.

And the believers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed

because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles

 For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and extolling God

Then Peter declared, … to the Church

Acts 10:46–11:1 ESV

For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared, “Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days. Now the apostles and the brothers who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

But, should he … punishment after death

God was not … with one another.

He was made … man was made

Thus the image … the whole world
