Luke 17

1	Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offenses will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
2	It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
3	Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4	And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
5	And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6	And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
7	But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
8	And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
9	Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.
10	So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
11	And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12	And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13	And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14	And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
15	And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16	And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17	And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18	There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
19	And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
20	And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21	Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
22	And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23	And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
24	For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
25	But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
26	And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27	They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28	Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29	But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30	Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31	In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32	Remember Lot's wife.
33	Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
34	I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35	Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36	Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37	And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

Numbers 33

1	These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.
2	And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their goings out.
3	And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.
4	For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.
5	And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.
6	And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.
7	And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pi-hahiroth, which is before Baal-zephon: and they pitched before Migdol.
8	And they departed from before Pi-hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.
9	And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there.
10	And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.
11	And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin.
12	And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.
13	And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.
14	And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.
15	And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai.
16	And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibroth-hattaavah.
17	And they departed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.
18	And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.
19	And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmon-parez.
20	And they departed from Rimmon-parez, and pitched in Libnah.
21	And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.
22	And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.
23	And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.
24	And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.
25	And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.
26	And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.
27	And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.
28	And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.
29	And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
30	And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.
31	And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Bene-jaakan.
32	And they removed from Bene-jaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad.
33	And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.
34	And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.
35	And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Ezion-gaber.
36	And they removed from Ezion-gaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.
37	And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
38	And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.
39	And Aaron was a hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.
40	And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.
41	And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.
42	And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.
43	And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.
44	And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ije-abarim, in the border of Moab.
45	And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibon-gad.
46	And they removed from Dibon-gad, and encamped in Almon-diblathaim.
47	And they removed from Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.
48	And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
49	And they pitched by Jordan, from Beth-jesimoth even unto Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.
50	And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
51	Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
52	Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images and quite pluck down all their high places:
53	And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
54	And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.
55	But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
56	Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

Hebrews 7

1	For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
2	To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
3	Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
4	Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
5	And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
6	But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
7	And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
8	And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
9	And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham.
10	For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him.
11	If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12	For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
13	For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
14	For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
15	And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest,
16	Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
17	For he testifieth, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
18	For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
19	For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
20	And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
21	(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord swore and will not repent, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek: )
22	By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
23	And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
24	But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
25	Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
26	For such a high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27	Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
28	For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated forevermore.

Titus 2

1	But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2	That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3	The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4	That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5	To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6	Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7	In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8	Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9	Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10	Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
11	For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12	Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13	Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ;
14	Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15	These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

Job 26

1	But Job answered and said,
2	How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3	How hast thou counseled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4	To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5	Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6	Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
7	He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8	He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9	He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10	He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11	The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12	He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13	By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14	Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

Psalms 150

1	Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
2	Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3	Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
4	Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
5	Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
6	Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

Proverbs 26

1	As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not seemly for a fool.
2	As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
3	A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
4	Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5	Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6	He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
7	The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8	As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honor to a fool.
9	As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10	The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
11	As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
12	Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
13	The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14	As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15	The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16	The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
17	He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18	As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19	So is the man that deceiveth his neighbor, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20	Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21	As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22	The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23	Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24	He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
25	When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26	Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be showed before the whole congregation.
27	Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28	A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

2 Kings 24

1	In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.
2	And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servants the prophets.
3	Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;
4	And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.
5	Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
6	So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
7	And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
8	Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9	And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done.
10	At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
11	And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it.
12	And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
13	And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said.
14	And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.
15	And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16	And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
17	And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18	Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19	And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
20	For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

Ezekiel 27

1	The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2	Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;
3	And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty.
4	Thy borders are in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.
5	They have made all thy ship boards of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.
6	Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of Chittim.
7	Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee.
8	The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee, were thy pilots.
9	The ancients of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee thy caulkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise.
10	They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine army, thy men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness.
11	The men of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; they have made thy beauty perfect.
12	Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs.
13	Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants: they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market.
14	They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules.
15	The men of Dedan were thy merchants; many isles were the merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee for a present horns of ivory and ebony.
16	Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and embroidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate.
17	Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants: they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm.
18	Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool.
19	Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market.
20	Dedan was thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots.
21	Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these were they thy merchants.
22	The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy merchants: they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold.
23	Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were thy merchants.
24	These were thy merchants in all sorts of things, in blue clothes, and embroidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, among thy merchandise.
25	The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.
26	Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas.
27	Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy caulkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, and in all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin.
28	The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.
29	And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land;
30	And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:
31	And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.
32	And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?
33	When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise.
34	In the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall.
35	All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance.
36	The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt be any more.

Acts 10

1	There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
2	A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.
3	He 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.
4	And 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.
5	And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
6	He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
7	And 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;
8	And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
9	On 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:
10	And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11	And 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:
12	Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13	And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14	But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15	And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16	This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
17	Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
18	And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19	While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20	Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21	Then 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?
22	And 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 a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
23	Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24	And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25	And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
26	But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
27	And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
28	And 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 showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
29	Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
30	And 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,
31	And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
32	Send 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.
33	Immediately 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.
34	Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35	But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
36	The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all: )
37	That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38	How 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.
39	And 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:
40	Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly;
41	Not 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.
42	And 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.
43	To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44	While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45	And 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.
46	For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47	Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48	And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
