20. And so, rise up, descend, and go with them, doubting nothing. For I have sent them."
21. Then Peter, descending to the men, said: "Behold, I am the one whom you seek. What is the reason for which you have arrived?"
22. And they said: "Cornelius, a centurion, a just and God-fearing man, who has good testimony from the entire nation of the Jews, received a message from a holy Angel to summon you to his house and to listen to words from you."
23. Therefore, leading them in, he received them as guests. Then, on following the day, rising up, he set out with them. And some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
24. And on the next day, he entered Caesarea. And truly, Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his family and closest friends.
25. And it happened that, when Peter had entered, Cornelius went to meet him. And falling before his feet, he reverenced.
26. Yet truly, Peter, lifting him up, said: "Rise up, for I also am only a man."
27. And speaking with him, he entered, and he found many who had gathered together.
28. And he said to them: "You know how abominable it would be for a Jewish man to be joined with, or to be added to, a foreign people. But God has revealed to me to call no man common or unclean.
29. Because of this and without doubt, I came when summoned. Therefore, I ask you, for what reason have you summoned me?"
