At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment.

One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”

While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate.

So Peter went down to the men and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”

“Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”
