О́нъ же воззрѣ́въ на́нь и пристра́шенъ бы́въ рече́: что́ е́сть, Го́споди? Рече́ же ему́: моли́твы твоя́ и ми́лостыни твоя́ взыдо́ша на па́мять предъ Бо́га:

и ны́нѣ посли́ во Иоппі́ю муже́й и призови́ Си́мона, нарица́емаго Петра́:

се́й стра́нствуетъ у нѣ́коего Си́мона усмаря́, ему́же е́сть до́мъ при мо́ри: то́й рече́тъ тебѣ́ глаго́лы, въ ни́хже спасе́шися ты́ и ве́сь до́мъ тво́й.

И я́коже отъи́де А́нгелъ глаго́ляй Корни́лiю, пригласи́въ два́ от рабо́въ свои́хъ и во́ина благочести́ва от служа́щихъ ему́

и сказа́въ и́мъ вся́, посла́ и́хъ во Иоппі́ю.

Воу́трiе же, путьше́ствующымъ и́мъ и ко гра́ду приближа́ющымся, взы́де Пе́тръ на го́рницу помоли́тися, о часѣ́ шестѣ́мъ.

Бы́сть же прiа́лченъ и хотя́ше вкуси́ти: гото́вящымъ же о́нѣмъ, нападе́ на́нь у́жасъ,

и ви́дѣ не́бо отве́рсто и сходя́щъ на́нь сосу́дъ нѣ́кiй, я́ко плащани́цу ве́лiю, по четы́ремъ кра́емъ привя́занъ и ни́зу спуща́емь на зе́млю,

въ не́мже бя́ху вся́ четвероно́гая земли́ и звѣ́рiе и га́ди и пти́цы небе́сныя.

И бы́сть гла́съ къ нему́: воста́въ, Пе́тре, заколи́ и я́ждь.

Пе́тръ же рече́: ника́коже, Го́споди, я́ко николи́же ядо́хъ вся́ко скве́рно или́ нечи́сто.

И [се́] гла́съ па́ки къ нему́ втори́цею: я́же Бо́гъ очи́стилъ е́сть, ты́ не скверни́.

Сі́е же бы́сть три́щи: и па́ки взя́ся сосу́дъ на не́бо.

Я́коже въ себѣ́ недоумѣва́шеся Пе́тръ, что́ бы бы́ло видѣ́нiе, е́же ви́дѣ, и се́, му́жiе по́сланнiи от Корни́лiа, вопро́шше и увѣ́дѣвше до́мъ Си́моновъ, ста́ша предъ враты́

и возгла́шше вопроша́ху, а́ще Си́монъ, нарица́емый Пе́тръ, здѣ́ стра́нствуетъ.

Петру́ же размышля́ющу о видѣ́нiи, рече́ ему́ Ду́хъ: се́, му́жiе трiе́ и́щутъ тебе́:

но воста́въ сни́ди и иди́ съ ни́ми, ничто́же разсужда́я: зане́ А́зъ посла́хъ и́хъ.

[Зач. 25.] Соше́дъ же Пе́тръ къ муже́мъ по́сланнымъ къ нему́ от Корни́лiа, рече́: се́, а́зъ е́смь, его́же и́щете: ка́я е́сть вина́, ея́же ра́ди прiидо́сте?

Они́ же реко́ша: Корни́лiй со́тникъ, му́жъ пра́веденъ и боя́йся Бо́га, свидѣ́телствованъ от всего́ язы́ка Иуде́йска, увѣще́нъ е́сть от А́нгела свя́та призва́ти тя́ въ до́мъ сво́й и слы́шати глаго́лы от тебе́.

Призва́въ же и́хъ учреди́: нау́трiе же Пе́тръ воста́въ и́де съ ни́ми, и нѣ́цыи от бра́тiй, и́же от Иоппі́и, идо́ша съ ни́мъ:

и нау́трiе внидо́ша въ Кесарі́ю. Корни́лiй же бѣ́ ча́я и́хъ, созва́въ сро́дники своя́ и любе́зныя дру́ги.

Я́коже бы́сть вни́ти Петру́, срѣ́те его́ Корни́лiй, и па́дъ на ногу́ его́ поклони́ся.

Пе́тръ же воздви́же его́, глаго́ля: воста́ни: и а́зъ са́мъ человѣ́къ е́смь.

И съ ни́мъ бесѣ́дуя, вни́де и обрѣ́те собра́вшыяся мно́ги:

рече́ же къ ни́мъ: вы́ вѣ́сте, я́ко не лѣ́по е́сть му́жу Иуде́анину прилѣпля́тися или́ приходи́ти ко иноплеме́ннику: и мнѣ́ Бо́гъ показа́ ни еди́наго скве́рна или́ нечи́ста глаго́лати человѣ́ка:

тѣ́мже и безъ сумнѣ́нiя прiидо́хъ призва́нъ: вопроша́ю вы́ у́бо, коея́ ра́ди вины́ посла́сте по мене́?

И Корни́лiй рече́: от четве́ртаго дне́ да́же до сего́ часа́ бѣ́хъ постя́ся и въ девя́тый ча́съ моля́ся въ дому́ мое́мъ: и се́, му́жъ ста́ предо мно́ю во оде́жди свѣ́тлѣ

и рече́: Корни́лiе, услы́шана бы́сть моли́тва твоя́, и ми́лостыни твоя́ помяну́шася предъ Бо́гомъ:

посли́ у́бо во Иоппі́ю и призови́ Си́мона, и́же нарица́ется Пе́тръ: се́й стра́нствуетъ въ дому́ Си́мона усмаря́ бли́зъ мо́ря: и́же прише́дъ возглаго́летъ тебѣ́.

А́бiе у́бо посла́хъ къ тебѣ́, ты́ же до́брѣ сотвори́лъ еси́ прише́дъ: ны́нѣ у́бо вси́ мы́ предъ Бо́гомъ предстои́мъ слы́шати вся́ повелѣ́нная тебѣ́ от Бо́га.

[Зач. 26.] Отве́рзъ же Пе́тръ уста́, рече́: пои́стиннѣ разумѣва́ю, я́ко не на лица́ зри́тъ Бо́гъ,

но во вся́цѣмъ язы́цѣ боя́йся Его́ и дѣ́лаяй пра́вду прiя́тенъ Ему́ е́сть:

сло́во, е́же посла́ сыно́мъ Изра́илевымъ, благовѣству́я ми́ръ Иису́съ Христо́мъ: Се́й е́сть всѣ́мъ Госпо́дь:

вы́ вѣ́сте глаго́лъ бы́вшiй по все́й Иуде́и, наче́ншiйся от Галиле́и, по креще́нiи, е́же проповѣ́да Иоа́ннъ:

Иису́са, И́же от Назаре́та, я́ко пома́за Его́ Бо́гъ Ду́хомъ Святы́мъ и си́лою, И́же про́йде благода́телствуя и исцѣля́я вся́ наси́лованныя от дiа́вола, я́ко Бо́гъ бя́ше съ Ни́мъ:

и мы́ есмы́ свидѣ́теле всѣ́хъ, я́же сотвори́ во странѣ́ Иуде́йстѣй и во Иерусали́мѣ: Его́же и уби́ша, повѣ́шше на дре́вѣ.

Сего́ Бо́гъ воскреси́ въ тре́тiй де́нь и даде́ Ему́ явле́ну бы́ти,

не всѣ́мъ лю́демъ, но на́мъ свидѣ́телемъ преднарече́ннымъ от Бо́га, и́же съ Ни́мъ ядо́хомъ и пи́хомъ, по воскресе́нiи Его́ от ме́ртвыхъ:

и повелѣ́ на́мъ проповѣ́дати лю́демъ и засвидѣ́телствовати, я́ко То́й е́сть нарѣче́нный от Бо́га Судiя́ живы́мъ и ме́ртвымъ:

о Се́мъ вси́ проро́цы свидѣ́телствуютъ, оставле́нiе грѣхо́въ прiя́ти и́менемъ Его́ вся́кому вѣ́рующему въ О́нь.

[Зач. 27.] Еще́ же глаго́лющу Петру́ глаго́лы сiя́, нападе́ Ду́хъ Святы́й на вся́ слы́шащыя сло́во.

И ужасо́шася и́же от обрѣ́занiя вѣ́рнiи, ели́цы прiидо́ша съ Петро́мъ, я́ко и на язы́ки да́ръ Свята́го Ду́ха излiя́ся:

слы́шаху бо и́хъ глаго́лющихъ язы́ки и велича́ющихъ Бо́га. Тогда́ отвѣща́ Пе́тръ:

еда́ во́ду возбрани́ти мо́жетъ кто́, е́же не крести́тися си́мъ, и́же Ду́хъ Святы́й прiя́ша, я́коже и мы́?

Повелѣ́ же и́мъ крести́тися во и́мя Иису́съ Христо́во. Тогда́ моли́ша его́ пребы́ти у ни́хъ дни́ нѣ́кiя.

There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,

a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always.

About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, «Cornelius!»

And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, «What is it, lord?» So he said to him, «Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.

Now send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter.

He is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. He will tell you what you must do.»

And when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those who waited on him continually.

So when he had explained all these things to them, he sent them to Joppa.

The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.

Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance

and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth.

In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air.

And a voice came to him, «Rise, Peter; kill and eat.»

But Peter said, «Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.»

And a voice spoke to him again the second time, «What God has cleansed you must not call common.»

This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.

Now while Peter wondered within himself what this vision which he had seen meant, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simońs house, and stood before the gate.

And they called and asked whether Simon, whose surname was Peter, was lodging there.

While Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, «Behold, three men are seeking you.

Arise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.»

Then Peter went down to the men who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, «Yes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason have you come?»

And they said, «Cornelius the centurion, a just man, one who fears God and has a good reputation among all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by a holy angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you.»

Then he invited them in and lodged them. On the next day Peter went away with them, and some brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

And the following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, and had called together his relatives and close friends.

As Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him.

But Peter lifted him up, saying, «Stand up; I myself am also a man.»

And as he talked with him, he went in and found many who had come together.

Then he said to them, «You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

Therefore I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me?»

So Cornelius said, «Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

and said, «Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your alms are remembered in the sight of God.

Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea. When he comes, he will speak to you.́

So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. Now therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things commanded you by God.»

Then Peter opened his mouth and said: «In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.

But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.

The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ--He is Lord of all--

that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree.

Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly,

not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.

And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead.

To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.»

While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word.

And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.

For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered,

«Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?»

And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days.
