Acts 10:30

27 and talking with him he went in, and doth find many having come together.

28 And he said unto them, `Ye know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come unto, one of another race, but to me God did shew to call no man common or unclean;

29 therefore also without gainsaying I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter ye did send for me?`

30 And Cornelius said, `Four days ago till this hour, I was fasting, and [at] the ninth hour praying in my house, and, lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

31 and he said, Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thy kind acts were remembered before God;

32 send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one doth lodge in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, shall speak to thee;

33 at once, therefore, I sent to thee; thou also didst do well, having come; now, therefore, are we all before God present to hear all things that have been commanded thee by God.`
