2. A religious man, and fearing God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and always praying to God.
3. This man saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him, and saying to him: Cornelius.
4. And he, beholding him, being seized with fear, said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God.
5. And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
6. He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.
