"Prayers; A Memorial Before God"


Acts 10

Cornelius; A Devout Man.

There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment, 
 
 2 a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always. 
 
 3 About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!”


4 And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, “What is it, lord?”
So he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God. 

 5 Now send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter. 

 6 He is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.He will tell you what you must do.” 

"A Devout Soldier"
 
7 And when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those who waited on him continually. 

 8 So when he had explained all these things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
