For what reason have you come?" 22They said, "Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man well spoken of by all the Jewish people, was divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and hear what you have to say." 23So Peter invited them in and gave them lodging [for the night].

Cornelius was waiting for them, and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25When Peter arrived, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet and worshiped him. 26But Peter raised him up, saying, "Stand up; I too am only a man." 27As Peter talked with him, he entered [the house] and found a large group of people assembled. 28He said to them, "You know that it is unlawful for a Jewish man to associate with or befriend a Gentile, or to visit him; and yet God has shown me that I am not to call anyone common or [ceremonially] unclean.
