Библия - Деяния, глава 10 - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

There was a certain man at Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian,

a devout man, and one who feared God with all his household, giving much alms to the people, and praying to God always.

He saw in a vision about the ninth hour clearly an angel of God coming in to him and saying, “Cornelius!”

And he looked at him and was afraid, and said, “What, Lord?” The angel answered him, “Your prayers and your alms are come up for a memorial before God.”

Send men therefore to Joppa and call for Simon, who is called Peter.

He is a guest with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. He will speak words to you by which you and your household will be saved.

When the angel who spoke to Cornelius had gone away, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier who was with him,

and when he had told them everything, he sent them to Joppa.

The next day, as they were on their journey and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray about the sixth hour.

And he felt hungry and wanted to eat. While they were preparing, he fell into a trance

and saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel coming down to him, like a large sheet tied at four corners and let down to the ground;

in it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air.

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

But Peter said, No, Lord, for I have never eaten anything common or unclean.

Then a voice came to him the second time, What God has cleansed, that do not call common.

This happened three times; and the vessel was taken up again into heaven.

Now while Peter was perplexed in himself as to what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men sent by Cornelius, having inquired for Simon's house, stood at the gate,

and called out, saying, Is Simon, who is called Peter, there?

And while Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee:

Arise, go down, and go with them, nothing doubting: for I have sent them.

Peter went down unto the men which Cornelius had sent unto him, and said, I am he whom ye seek: for what cause come ye?

And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a virtuous man, and one that feareth God, and approved of all the people of the Jews, received a charge from the holy angel to call thee unto his house, and to hear thy speech.

Then Peter invited them, and entertained them. And the next day he arose and went with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa went with him.

The next day they came to Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and intimate friends.

As Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet and worshiped him.

But Peter raised him up, saying, “Arise; I too am a man.”

And as he talked with him, he entered the house and found many assembled.

And he said to them, “You know that it is unlawful for a Jew to associate or to come near a foreigner; but God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

So when I was called, I came without protesting. I ask then, for what reason have you called me?”

Cornelius said, “I have been fasting four days until this hour, and about the ninth hour I was praying in my house. And, behold, a man in bright clothing stood by me,

and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your alms are remembered before God.’

Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon, who is called Peter. He is a guest in the house of Simon the tanner by the seaside. He will come and tell you.

I have sent to you straightway, and you have done well to come. Now we are all present before God to hear all that God has commanded you.

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

but in every nation he that feareth him and worketh righteousness is accepted with him.’

He sent a word to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ. This is the Lord of all.

You know what happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism preached by John:

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

And we are witnesses of all that he did in the country of Judea and in Jerusalem, and how they finally killed him, hanging him on a tree.
