1At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment.

2He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He gave generously to the people and prayed to God regularly.

3One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
4⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲟϯ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ Ⲡ⳪ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲩⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲉⲑⲛⲁⲏⲧ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲉⲣ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲪϯ ..
4Cornelius stared at him in fear and asked, “What is it, Lord?” The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have ascended as a memorial offering before God.

5Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter.

6He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”

7When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.
8⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲉ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲁⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲓⲟⲡⲡⲏ ..
8He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa.

9The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.
10ⲛⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ϩⲕⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲃϯ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲧⲱⲙⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ ..
10He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
11ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲏⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲕⲉⲩⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲭⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲓⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲇ̅ ⳿ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲏ ..
11He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
12ⲉⲩⲭⲏ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ϥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓϭⲁⲧϥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓϩⲁⲗⲁϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ..
12It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air.

13Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!”
14Ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫⲱⲣ Ⲡ⳪ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲉⲙ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⳿⳿ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲉϥϭⲁϧⲉⲙ ⲓⲉ ⲉϥⲥⲟϥ ..
14“No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”

15The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
16ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϣⲁ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲥⲕⲉⲩⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ..
16This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.
17ϩⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲣⲁⲙⲁ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲕⲟⲣⲛⲏⲗⲓⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩϣⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⳿ⲡⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲤⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲣⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡⲩⲗⲱⲛ ..
17While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate.
18⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⲛⲁⲩϣⲓⲛⲓ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛ Ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲫⲏ⳿⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ Ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ϥϫⲁⲗⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ..
18They called out to ask if Simon called Peter was staying there.
19Ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲥⲟϭⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲣⲁⲙⲁ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲥⲉⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲕ ..
19As Peter continued to reflect on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.
20ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲱⲛⲕ ⲙⲁϣⲉⲛⲁⲕ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲕⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲃ̅ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡⲟⲩ ..
20So get up! Go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”
21⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϣⲁ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲡⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ..
21So Peter went down to the men and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”
22⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲕⲟⲣⲛⲏⲗⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ϧⲁ⳿ⲧϩⲏ ⳿ⲙⲪϯ ⲉⲩⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϣⲗⲟⲗ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲕ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲕ ..
22“Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”
23ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥϣⲟⲡⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥϯ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲉ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲓⲟⲡⲡⲏ ..
23So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.
24ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥϯ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲔⲉⲥⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲕⲟⲣⲛⲏⲗⲓⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲁϫⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⲇⲉ ⳿⳿ⲉⲛⲉϥⲥⲩⲅⲅⲉⲛⲏⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲉⲟⲛ ..
24The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.
25ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥϯⲙⲁϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲕⲟⲣⲛⲏⲗⲓⲟⲥ ⲁϥϩⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ϧⲁⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ..
25As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him.

26But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”

27As Peter talked with him, he went inside and found many people gathered together.

28He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.

29So when I was invited, I came without objection. I ask, then, why have you sent for me?”

30Cornelius answered: “Four days ago I was in my house praying at this, the ninth hour. Suddenly a man in radiant clothing stood before me

38how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.
