Apostlenes gjerninger 10,30

Cornelius

28 Han sa til dem: "Dere er klar over at det er mot vår lov for en jøde å omgås eller besøke en hedning. Men Gud har vist meg at jeg ikke skal kalle noen urene eller vanhellige.

29 Så da jeg ble sendt etter, kom jeg uten å reise noen innvendinger. Kan jeg spørre hva grunnen er til at dere sendte etter meg?"

Kornelius svarte: "For fire dager siden, på denne timen, ba jeg i mitt hus ved den niende time, og plutselig sto en mann i skinnende klær foran meg

31 og sa: 'Kornelius, din bønn er blitt hørt, og dine gaver til de fattige er blitt husket for Gud.

32 Send til Joppe etter Simon, som også kalles Peter. Han bor i huset til Simon, garveren, ved sjøen.'
