Acts 10:25

CorneliusSimon

23 So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.

24 The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him.

26 But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”

27 As Peter talked with him, he went inside and found many people gathered together.
