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."
