1There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,2A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.3He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.4And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.5And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:6He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.7And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;8And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.9On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:10And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,11And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.15And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.16This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.17Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,18And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.19While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.20Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.21Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?22And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.23Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.24And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.25And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.26But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.27And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.28And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.29Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?30And 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,31And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.32Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.33Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.34Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:35But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.36The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)37That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;38How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.39And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:40Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;41Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.42And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.43To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.44While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.45And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.46For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,47Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?48And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

1وَكَانَ فِي قَيْصَرِيَّةَ رَجُلٌ، اسْمُهُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ، قَائِدُ مِئَةٍ مِنَ الْكَتِيبَةِ الَّتِي تُدْعَى الإِيطَالِيَّةَ،2وَهُوَ تَقِيٌّ وَخَائِفُ اللهِ مَعَ جَمِيعِ بَيْتِهِ يَصْنَعُ حَسَنَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً لِلشَّعْبِ وَيُصَلِّي إِلَى اللهِ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ.3فَرَأَى ظَاهِراً فِي رُؤْيَا نَحْوَ السَّاعَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ مِنَ النَّهَارِ مَلاَكاً مِنَ اللهِ دَاخِلاً إِلَيْهِ وَقَائِلاً لَهُ: يَا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ،4فَلَمَّا شَخَصَ إِلَيْهِ وَدَخَلَهُ الْخَوْفُ قَالَ: مَاذَا يَا سَيِّدُ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ: صَلَوَاتُكَ وَصَدَقَاتُكَ صَعِدَتْ تِذْكَاراً أَمَامَ اللهِ.5وَالآنَ أَرْسِلْ إِلَى يَافَا رِجَالاً وَاسْتَدْعِ سِمْعَانَ، المُلَقَّبَ بُطْرُسَ،6إِنَّهُ نَازِلٌ عِنْدَ سِمْعَانَ، رَجُلٍ دَبَّاغٍ، بَيْتُهُ عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ، هُوَ يَقُولُ لَكَ مَاذَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَفْعَلَ.7فَلَمَّا انْطَلَقَ المَلاَكُ الَّذِي كَانَ يُكَلِّمُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسَ نَادَى اثْنَيْنِ مِنْ خُدَّامِهِ وَعَسْكَرِيّاً تَقِيّاً مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يُلاَزِمُونَهُ8وَأَخْبَرَهُمْ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ إِلَى يَافَا.

9ثُمَّ فِي الْغَدِ، فِيمَا هُمْ يُسَافِرُونَ وَيَقْتَرِبُونَ إِلَى المَدِينَةِ، صَعِدَ بُطْرُسُ عَلَى السَّطْحِ لِيُصَلِّيَ نَحْوَ السَّاعَةِ السَّادِسَةِ،10فَجَاعَ كَثِيراً وَاشْتَهَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَ، وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يُهَيِّئُونَ لَهُ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ غَيْبَةٌ.11فَرَأَى السَّمَاءَ مَفْتُوحَةً وَإِنَاءً نَازِلاً عَلَيْهِ مِثْلَ مُلاَءَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ مَرْبُوطَةٍ بِأَرْبَعَةِ أَطْرَافٍ وَمُدَلاَّةٍ عَلَى الأَرْضِ،12وَكَانَ فِيهَا كُلُّ دَوَابِّ الأَرْضِ وَالْوُحُوشِ وَالزَّحَّافَاتِ وَطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ.13وَصَارَ إِلَيْهِ صَوْتٌ: قُمْ، يَا بُطْرُسُ، اذْبَحْ وَكُلْ.14فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ: كَلاَّ، يَا رَبُّ، لأَنِّي لَمْ آكُلْ قَطُّ شَيْئاً دَنِساً أَوْ نَجِساً.15فَصَارَ إِلَيْهِ أَيْضاً صَوْتٌ ثَانِيَةً: مَا طَهَّرَهُ اللهُ لاَ تُدَنِّسْهُ أَنْتَ.16وَكَانَ هَذَا عَلَى ثَلاَثِ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَ الإِنَاءُ أَيْضاً إِلَى السَّمَاءِ.

17وَإِذْ كَانَ بُطْرُسُ يَرْتَابُ فِي نَفْسِهِ، مَاذَا عَسَى أَنْ تَكُونَ الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي رَآهَا، إِذَا الرِّجَالُ الَّذِينَ أَرْسَلَهُمْ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ، كَانُوا قَدْ سَأَلُوا عَنْ بَيْتِ سِمْعَانَ وَوَقَفُوا عَلَى الْبَابِ18وَنَادَوْا يَسْتَخْبِرُونَ: هَلْ سِمْعَانُ، المُلَقَّبُ بُطْرُسَ، نَازِلٌ هُنَاكَ؟19وَبَيْنَمَا بُطْرُسُ مُتَفَكِّرٌ فِي الرُّؤْيَا، قَالَ لَهُ الرُّوحُ: هُوَذَا ثَلاَثَةُ رِجَالٍ يَطْلُبُونَكَ.20لَكِنْ قُمْ وَانْزِلْ وَاذْهَبْ مَعَهُمْ غَيْرَ مُرْتَابٍ فِي شَيْءٍ لأَنِّي أَنَا قَدْ أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ.21فَنَزَلَ بُطْرُسُ إِلَى الرِّجَالِ الَّذِينَ أَرْسَلَهُمْ إِلَيْهِ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ وَقَالَ: هَا أَنَا الَّذِي تَطْلُبُونَهُ، مَا هُوَ السَّبَبُ الَّذِي حَضَرْتُمْ لأَجْلِهِ؟22فَقَالُوا: إِنَّ كَرْنِيلِيُوسَ، قَائِدَ مِئَةٍ، رَجُلاً بَارّاً وَخَائِفَ اللهِ وَمَشْهُوداً لَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةِ الْيَهُودِ، أُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ بِمَلاَكٍ مُقَدَّسٍ أَنْ يَسْتَدْعِيَكَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ وَيَسْمَعَ مِنْكَ كَلاَماً.23فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَى دَاخِلٍ وَأَضَافَهُمْ، ثُمَّ فِي الْغَدِ خَرَجَ بُطْرُسُ مَعَهُمْ وَأُنَاسٌ مِنَ الإِخْوَةِ الَّذِينَ مِنْ يَافَا رَافَقُوهُ.

24وَفِي الْغَدِ دَخَلُوا قَيْصَرِيَّةَ. وَأَمَّا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ فَكَانَ يَنْتَظِرُهُمْ وَقَدْ دَعَا أَنْسِبَاءَهُ وَأَصْدِقَاءَهُ الأَقْرَبِينَ.25وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ بُطْرُسُ اسْتَقْبَلَهُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ وَسَجَدَ وَاقِعاً عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ.26فَأَقَامَهُ بُطْرُسُ قَائِلاً: قُمْ، أَنَا أَيْضاً إِنْسَانٌ.27ثُمَّ دَخَلَ وَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُ وَوَجَدَ كَثِيرِينَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ.28فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ كَيْفَ هُوَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يَهُودِيٍّ أَنْ يَلْتَصِقَ بِأَحَدٍ أَجْنَبِيٍّ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيْهِ. وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ أَرَانِي اللهُ أَنْ لاَ أَقُولَ عَنْ إِنْسَانٍ مَا إِنَّهُ دَنِسٌ أَوْ نَجِسٌ.29فَلِذَلِكَ جِئْتُ مِنْ دُونِ مُنَاقَضَةٍ إِذِ اسْتَدْعَيْتُمُونِي، فَأَسْتَخْبِرُكُمْ: لأَيِّ سَبَبٍ اسْتَدْعَيْتُمُونِي؟30فَقَالَ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ: مُنْذُ أَرْبَعَةِ أَيَّامٍ إِلَى هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ كُنْتُ صَائِماً. وَفِي السَّاعَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَدْ وَقَفَ أَمَامِي بِلِبَاسٍ لاَمِعٍ31وَقَالَ: يَا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ، سُمِعَتْ صَلاَتُكَ وَذُكِرَتْ صَدَقَاتُكَ أَمَامَ اللهِ.32فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَى يَافَا وَاسْتَدْعِ سِمْعَانَ، المُلَقَّبَ بُطْرُسَ، إِنَّهُ نَازِلٌ فِي بَيْتِ سِمْعَانَ، رَجُلٍ دَبَّاغٍ، عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ، فَهُوَ مَتَى جَاءَ يُكَلِّمُكَ.33فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ حَالاً، وَأَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ حَسَناً إِذْ جِئْتَ. وَالآنَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعاً حَاضِرُونَ أَمَامَ اللهِ لِنَسْمَعَ جَمِيعَ مَا أَمَرَكَ بِهِ اللهُ.

34فَفَتَحَ بُطْرُسُ فَاهُ وَقَالَ: بِالْحَقِّ أَنَا أَجِدُ أَنَّ اللهَ لاَ يَقْبَلُ الْوُجُوهَ،35بَلْ فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ الَّذِي يَتَّقِيهِ وَيَصْنَعُ الْبِرَّ مَقْبُولٌ عِنْدَهُ.36الْكَلِمَةُ الَّتِي أَرْسَلَهَا إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يُبَشِّرُ بِالسَّلاَمِ بِيَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ، هَذَا هُوَ رَبُّ الْكُلِّ.37أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ الأَمْرَ الَّذِي صَارَ فِي كُلِّ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ مُبْتَدِئاً مِنَ الْجَلِيلِ، بَعْدَ المَعْمُودِيَّةِ الَّتِي كَرَزَ بِهَا يُوحَنَّا،38يَسُوعُ، الَّذِي مِنَ النَّاصِرَةِ، كَيْفَ مَسَحَهُ اللهُ بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ وَالْقُوَّةِ، الَّذِي جَالَ يَصْنَعُ خَيْراً وَيَشْفِي جَمِيعَ المُتَسَلِّطِ عَلَيْهِمْ إِبْلِيسُ لأَنَّ اللهَ كَانَ مَعَهُ.39وَنَحْنُ شُهُودٌ بِكُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ فِي كُورَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، الَّذِي أَيْضاً قَتَلُوهُ مُعَلِّقِينَ إِيَّاهُ عَلَى خَشَبَةٍ.40هَذَا أَقَامَهُ اللهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ وَأَعْطَى أَنْ يَصِيرَ ظَاهِراً،41لَيْسَ لِجَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ، بَلْ لِشُهُودٍ سَبَقَ اللهُ فَانْتَخَبَهُمْ، لَنَا نَحْنُ، الَّذِينَ أَكَلْنَا وَشَرِبْنَا مَعَهُ بَعْدَ قِيَامَتِهِ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ.42وَأَوْصَانَا أَنْ نَكْرِزَ لِلشَّعْبِ وَنَشْهَدَ بِأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ المُعَيَّنُ مِنَ اللهِ دَيَّاناً لِلأَحْيَاءِ وَالأَمْوَاتِ.43لَهُ يَشْهَدُ جَمِيعُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ، أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ يَنَالُ بِاسْمِهِ غُفْرَانَ الْخَطَايَا.

44فَبَيْنَمَا بُطْرُسُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ حَلَّ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ الْكَلِمَةَ.45فَانْدَهَشَ المُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْخِتَانِ، كُلُّ مَنْ جَاءَ مَعَ بُطْرُسَ، لأَنَّ مَوْهِبَةَ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ قَدِ انْسَكَبَتْ عَلَى الأُمَمِ أَيْضاً،46لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِأَلْسِنَةٍ وَيُعَظِّمُونَ اللهَ. حِينَئِذٍ قَالَ بُطْرُسُ:47أَتُرَى يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَمْنَعَ المَاءَ حَتَّى لاَ يَعْتَمِدَ هَؤُلاَءِ الَّذِينَ قَبِلُوا الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ كَمَا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً؟48وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَعْتَمِدُوا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ. حِينَئِذٍ سَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ أَيَّاماً.
