Coptic New Testament
1Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
1ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲕⲉⲥⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲕⲟⲣⲛⲏⲗⲓⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲥⲡⲩⲣⲁ ⳿ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯϩⲩⲇⲁⲗⲓⲕⲏ ..
2a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
2⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ϧⲁ⳿ⲧϩⲏ ⳿ⲙⲪϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲉϥ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲑⲛⲁⲏⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲙⲪϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ..
3At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
3ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲣⲁⲙⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲫϯ ⲁϥϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲁϫⲡ ϧ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲟⲣⲛⲏⲗⲓⲉ ..
4He, fastening his eyes on him and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.

5Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.

6He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.

7When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.

8Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

9Now on the next day as they were on their journey and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.

10He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.

11He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,

12in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.

13A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”

14But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”

15A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”

16This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.

17Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,

18and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.

19While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.

21Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”

22They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”

23So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
