1There was this dude in Cesarea named Cornelius, a centurion from the Italian squad, no cap.

2He was a chill guy, feared God with his whole fam, gave mad charity to the people, and prayed to God all the time, fr.

3He had a vision around 3 PM, saw an angel rollin' up and saying, "Yo Cornelius."

4He was shook, like, "What’s up, Lord?" And the angel said, "Your prayers and your charity are hitting different before God."

5"Now send some peeps to Joppa and call for Simon, aka Peter."

6"He’s crashing with Simon the tanner, whose crib is by the beach. He’ll tell you what’s good."

7After the angel dipped, Cornelius called up two of his homies and a devout soldier who was always down for him.

8He spilled the tea to them and sent them off to Joppa.

9The next day, as they were on their way and getting close to the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray around noon.

10He got super hungry and was about to eat, but while they were cooking, he zoned out in a trance.

11He peeped heaven opening up, and a dope vibe like a massive sheet coming down, all knit up at the corners, landing on Earth.

12Inside were all kinds of four-legged animals, wild beasts, creepy crawlies, and birds flying high.

13Then a voice popped off, "Yo, Peter; rise up, kill, and munch."

14But Peter was like, "Nah, Lord; I’ve never eaten anything that's sus or unclean."

15The voice hit him up again, "What God has cleaned, don’t call it sus."

16This happened three times, then the vibe went back up to heaven.

17While Peter was low-key confused about what this vision meant, the homies sent by Cornelius were at Simon’s crib, chillin' by the gate.

18They hollered, asking if Simon, aka Peter, was staying there.

19While Peter was thinking about the vision, the Spirit was like, "Ayo, three dudes are looking for you."

20So pop off, get down there, and roll with them, no cap; I sent them your way.

21So Peter bounced down to the homies sent by Cornelius and was like, "Yo, I’m the one you’re looking for. What’s the vibe?"

22They replied, "Cornelius, the centurion, is a legit dude who fears God and has mad respect from all the Jews. An angel hit him up from God to call you to his crib and hear what you gotta say."

23Peter was like, "Come on in," and kicked it with them. Next day, he dipped out with them, and some bros from Joppa rolled with him.

24The next day, they pulled up to Cesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them and had gathered his fam and close friends.

25When Peter walked in, Cornelius met him, dropped to his feet, and worshipped him.

26But Peter was like, "Chill, fam; I’m just a dude like you."

27As they chatted, he went inside and saw a bunch of people had gathered.

28He told them, "You know it’s sus for a Jewish dude to hang with or roll up to someone from another nation, but God showed me I shouldn’t call anyone common or unclean."

29So I came to you with no hesitation as soon as I got the invite. What’s the reason you called me here?

30Cornelius responded, "Four days ago, I was fasting until now, and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my crib, and boom, a dude in bright threads stood in front of me."

31Yo, Cornelius, your prayers got through, and God’s vibin’ with your good deeds.

32So slide over to Joppa and hit up Simon, aka Peter; he’s chillin’ at Simon the tanner’s spot by the beach. When he rolls up, he’ll drop some knowledge on you.

33I straight up sent for you, and you showed up, which is dope. We’re all gathered here to catch what God wants you to share.

34Then Peter opened his mouth and was like, “No cap, I see that God doesn’t play favorites.”

35But for real, in every nation, if you fear him and do good, you’re accepted by him.

36The message God sent to the Israelites was all about peace through Jesus Christ: he’s the GOAT of all time.

37You know the word I’m talking about; it got spread all over Judea and kicked off in Galilee after John was out here baptizing.

38God gave Jesus of Nazareth the Holy Spirit and mad power; he was out here doing good and healing everyone who was down and out because God was with him.

39We’re witnesses of everything he did in the Jewish lands and in Jerusalem; they took him out and hung him on a tree.

40But God brought him back to life on the third day and showed him off to everyone.

41Not to everyone, but to the squad God picked, like us who vibed with Him after He rose from the dead.

42He told us to preach to the people and spill the tea that He’s the one God picked to judge the living and the dead.

43All the prophets back Him up, saying anyone who believes in His name gets their sins wiped clean, no cap.

44While Peter was still talking, the Holy Ghost dropped on everyone who heard the word, straight up.

45The believers from the circumcision were shook, 'cause even the Gentiles got the Holy Ghost vibes poured out on them too.

46They heard them speaking in tongues and hyping up God. Then Peter was like,

47Can anyone stop these peeps from getting baptized since they got the Holy Ghost just like us?

48He told them to get baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to chill for a few days.

1There was a certain man in Cesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,

2A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.

3He 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.

4And 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.

5And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:

6He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.

7And 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;

8And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.

9On 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:

10And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

11And 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:

12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

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

15And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

16This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

17Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate,

18And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

19While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.

20Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.

21Then 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?

22And 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 an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.

23Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

24And the morrow after they entered into Cesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.

25And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.

26But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

27And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

28And 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 shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

29Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?

30And 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,

31And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

32Send 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.

33Immediately 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.

34Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

35But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

36The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

37That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

38How 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.

39And 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:

40Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;

41Not 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.

42And 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.

43To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

44While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

45And 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.

46For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

47Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

48And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
