1 Y había en Cesaréa un hombre por nombre, Cornelio, Centurion de una compañía que se llama Itálica.
1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
2 Religioso y temeroso de Dios con toda su casa, que hacia muchas limosnas al pueblo, y estaba orando á Dios incesantemente.
2 a 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.
3 Este vió en vision manifiestamente, como á eso de la hora de nona, que un Angel de Dios entraba á él, y le decía: Cornelio.
3 At 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!”
4 Y él fixando en él los ojos, poseido de temor, dixo: ¿Qué es, Señor? Y le dixo: Tus oraciones y tus limosnas han subido en memoria delante de Dios.
4 He, 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.
5 Envía pues ahora hombres á Joppe, y haz venir acá á un cierto Simón, que tiene por sobrenombre Pedro:
5 Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
6 Este posa en casa de un cierto Simón eurtidor, que tiene su casa junto á el mar: él te dira lo que te conviene hacer.
6 He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
7 Y luego que se retiró el Angel, que le hablaba, llamó á dos de sus domésticos, y á un soldado temeroso de Dios, de aquellos que estaban á sus órdenes.
7 When 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.
8 Y habiéndoles contado todo esto, los envió á Joppe.
8 Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Y el día siguiente, yendo ellos su camino, y estando ya cerca de la ciudad, subió Pedro á lo alto de la casa á hacer oración cerca de la hora de sexta.
9 Now 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.
10 Y sintiéndose con hambre, quiso desayunarse. Y mientras se lo aparejaban, le sobrevino un exceso de espíritu.
10 He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
11 Y vió el Cielo abierto, y que descendía un vaso, como un grande lienzo, que atado por los quatro cabos, era abaxado del Cielo á la tierra.
11 He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
12 En el que había de todos los quadrúpedos, y de los reptiles de la tierra, y de las aves del Cielo.
12 in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
13 Y vino á él una voz que le dixo: Levántate, Pedro, mata, y come.
13 A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
14 Y dixo Pedro: No Señor, porque nunca comí ninguna cosa común, ni impura.
14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
15 Y otra vez la voz á él: Lo que Dios ha purificado, no lo llames tú comun.
15 A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
16 Y esto se repitió hasta tres veces: y luego el vaso se volvió al Cielo.
16 This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
17 Y mientras Pedro dudaba entre sí qué sería la visión, que había visto: he aquí los hombres, que había enviado Cornelio, que preguntando por la casa de Simón, llegaron á la puerta.
17 Now 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,
18 Y habiendo llamado, preguntaban, si estaba allí hospedado Simón, el que tiene por sobrenombre Pedro.
18 and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
19 Y pensando Pedro en la visión, le dixo el Espíritu: He ahí tres hombres que te buscan.
19 While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
20 Levántate, pues, baxa, y vé con ellos sin dudar: porque yo los he enviado.
20 But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
21 Y descendiendo Pedro á los hombres, les dixo: Vedme aquí, yo soy el que buscais: ¿qué es la causa por qué habeis venido?
21 Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
22 Y ellos dixéron: El Centurion Cornelio, hombre justo y temeroso de Dios, y que tiene el testimonio de toda la nación de los Judíos, recibió respuesta del santo Angel, que te hiciese llamar á su casa, y que escuchase tus palabras.
22 They 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.”
23 Pero pues, haciéndolos entrar, los hospedó. Y el día siguiente se levantó, y se fué con ellos: y algunos de los hermanos le acompañáron desde Joppe.
23 So 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.
24 Y otro día después entró en Cesaréa. Y Cornelio lo estaba esperando; habiendo convidado á sus parientes y mas íntimos amigos.
24 On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
25 Y acaeció, que quando Pedro estaba para entrar, le salió Cornelio á recibir, y derribándose á sus pies, le adoró.
25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
26 Mas Pedro le alzó, y dixo: Levántate, que yo también soy hombre.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
27 Y entró hablando con él, y halló muchos que se habían juntado:
27 As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
28 Y les dixo: Vosotros sabéis como es cosa abominable para un Judío el juntarse ó allegarse á extrangero: Mas Dios me ha mostrado, que á ningún hombre llamase común ó inmundo.
28 He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.
29 Y por esto sin dificultad he venido, luego que me has llamado. Pregunto pues, ¿por qué causa me habéis hecho venir?
29 Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
30 Y dixo Cornelio: Hoy hace quatro días que estaba orando en mi casa á hora de nona, y he aquí se me puso delante un varón con una ropa blanca, y me dixo:
30 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
31 Cornelio, oida es tu oración, y tus limosnas han venido en memoria delante de Dios.
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
32 Envía pues á Joppe, y haz llamar á Simón, que tiene por sobrenombre Pedro: éste posa en casa de Simón el curtidor junto á el mar.
32 Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’
33 Y luego envié á buscarte: y tú has hecho bien en venir. Y ahora nosotros todos estamos en tu presencia para escuchar todas las cosas que el Señor te ha mandado.
33 Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
34 Entonces Pedro abrió su boca, y dixo: Verdaderamente reconozco, que Dios no es aceptador de personas:
34 Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;
35 Mas en qualquiera gente, del que le teme y obra justicia, se agrada.
35 but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
36 Dios envió palabra á los hijos de Israel, anunciándoles paz por Jesu-Christo: (éste es el Señor de todos).
36 The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
37 Vosotros sabeis la palabra que ha sido hecha por toda la Judea: y comenzando desde la Galiléa después del bautismo que predicó Juan,
37 you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 A Jesús de Nazaréth; como Dios lo ungió de Espíritu Santo, y de virtud, el qual anduvo haciendo bienes, y sanando á todos los oprimidos del diablo, porque Dios era con él.
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
39 Y nosotros somos testigos de todo quanto hizo en la región de los Judíos, y en Jerusalém: al qual ellos mataron, colgándolo en un leño.
39 We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.
40 A éste lo resucitó Dios al tercero día, y quiso que se manifestase,
40 God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
41 No á todo el pueblo, sino á los testigos que Dios había ordenado antes: á nosotros, que comimos, y bebimos con él, después que resucitó de entre los muertos.
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 y nos mandó que predicásemos al pueblo, y que diésemos testimonio de que él es el que Dios ha puesto por Juez de vivos, y de muertos.
42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.
43 A éste dan testimonio todos los Prophetas, que todos los que crean en él, recibirán perdón de los pecados por su nombre.
43 All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
44 Estando aún diciendo Pedro éstas palabras, descendió el Espíritu Santo sobre todos quantos oían la palabra.
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
45 Y se espantáron los fieles que eran de la circuncisión, y habían venido con Pedro, de que la gracia del Espíritu Santo se difundiese también sobre los Gentiles.
45 They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.
46 Porque los oían hablar en lenguas, y decir grandes cosas de Dios.
46 For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
47 Entónces respondió Pedro: ¿Por ventura puede alguno impedir el agua del bautismo á estos, que han recibido el Espíritu Santo, así como nosotros?
47 “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
48 Y mandó que fuesen bautizados en el nombre del Señor Jesu-Christo. Entonces le rogáron que se quedase con ellos algunos días.
48 He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
This man is not a Jew, nor of those under the Law, but he had already forestalled our manner of life. Observe, thus far, two persons, both of high rank, receiving the faith, the eunuch at Gaza and this man; and the pains taken on behalf of these men.
