Acts 10:27

25 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.”

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

28 He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.

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