Acts 10:22 (NIV) The men
replied, "We have come from Cornelius the
centurion. He is a righteous and God-fearing man, who
is respected by all the Jewish people. A holy
angel told him to have you come to his house so that he could hear what you have to say." 23 Then Peter invited the men into the house to be his guests. The
next day Peter started out with them, and
some of the brothers from Joppa went along. 24
The following day he arrived in Caesarea.
Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his
feet in reverence. 26 But Peter made him
get up. "Stand up," he said, "I
am only a man myself."
