1 And there was a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion from a band called Italian,
1 Y HABÍA un varón en Cesarea llamado Cornelio, centurión de la compañía que se llamaba la Italiana,
2 pious, and fearing God with all his house, doing also many kind acts to the people, and beseeching God always,
2 Pío y temeroso de Dios con toda su casa, y que hacía muchas limosnas al pueblo, y oraba á Dios siempre.
3 he saw in a vision manifestly, as it were the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, 'Cornelius;'
3 Este vió en visión manifiestamente, como á la hora nona del día, que un ángel de Dios entraba á él, y le decía: Cornelio.
4 and he having looked earnestly on him, and becoming afraid, said, 'What is it, Lord?' And he said to him, 'Thy prayers and thy kind acts came up for a memorial before God,
4 Y él, puestos en él los ojos, espantado, dijo: ¿Qué es, Señor? Y díjole: Tus oraciones y tus limosnas han subido en memoria á la presencia de Dios.
5 and now send men to Joppa, and send for a certain one Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
5 Envía pues ahora hombres á Joppe, y haz venir á un Simón, que tiene por sobrenombre Pedro.
6 this one doth lodge with a certain Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea; this one shall speak to thee what it behoveth thee to do.'
6 Este posa en casa de un Simón, curtidor, que tiene su casa junto á la mar: él te dirá lo que te conviene hacer.
7 And when the messenger who is speaking to Cornelius went away, having called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier of those waiting on him continually,
7 E ido el ángel que hablaba con Cornelio, llamó dos de sus criados, y un devoto soldado de los que le asistían;
8 and having declared to them all things, he sent them to Joppa.
8 A los cuales, después de habérselo contado todo, los envió á Joppe.
9 And on the morrow, as these are proceeding on the way, and are drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour,
9 Y al día siguiente, yendo ellos su camino, y llegando cerca de la ciudad, Pedro subió á la azotea á orar, cerca de la hora de sexta;
10 and he became very hungry, and wished to eat; and they making ready, there fell upon him a trance,
10 Y aconteció que le vino una grande hambre, y quiso comer; pero mientras disponían, sobrevínole un éxtasis;
11 and he doth behold the heaven opened, and descending unto him a certain vessel, as a great sheet, bound at the four corners, and let down upon the earth,
11 Y vió el cielo abierto, y que descendía un vaso, como un gran lienzo, que atado de los cuatro cabos era bajado á la tierra;
12 in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven,
12 En el cual había de todos los animales cuadrúpedos de la tierra, y reptiles, y aves del cielo.
13 and there came a voice unto him: 'Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.'
13 Y le vino una voz: Levántate, Pedro, mata y come.
14 And Peter said, 'Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean;'
14 Entonces Pedro dijo: Señor, no; porque ninguna cosa común é inmunda he comido jamás.
15 and [there is] a voice again a second time unto him: 'What God did cleanse, thou, declare not thou common;'
15 Y volvió la voz hacia él la segunda vez: Lo que Dios limpió, no lo llames tú común.
16 and this was done thrice, and again was the vessel received up to the heaven.
16 Y esto fué hecho por tres veces; y el vaso volvió á ser recogido en el cielo.
17 And as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision that he saw might be, then, lo, the men who have been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
17 Y estando Pedro dudando dentro de sí qué sería la visión que había visto, he aquí, los hombres que habían sido enviados por Cornelio, que, preguntando por la casa de Simón, llegaron á la puerta.
18 and having called, they were asking if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, doth lodge here?
18 Y llamando, preguntaron si un Simón que tenía por sobrenombre Pedro, posaba allí.
19 And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, 'Lo, three men do seek thee;
19 Y estando Pedro pensando en la visión, le dijo el Espíritu: He aquí, tres hombres te buscan.
20 but having risen, go down and go on with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them;'
20 Levántate, pues, y desciende, y no dudes ir con ellos; porque yo los he enviado.
21 and Peter having come down unto the men who have been sent from Cornelius unto him, said, 'Lo, I am he whom ye seek, what [is] the cause for which ye are present?'
21 Entonces Pedro, descendiendo á los hombres que eran enviados por Cornelio, dijo: He aquí, yo soy el que buscáis: ¿cuál es la causa por la que habéis venido?
22 And they said, 'Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for thee, to his house, and to hear sayings from thee.'
22 Y ellos dijeron: Cornelio, el centurión, varón justo y temeroso de Dios, y que tiene testimonio de toda la nación de los Judíos, ha recibido respuesta por un santo ángel, de hacerte venir á su casa, y oir de ti palabras.
23 Having called them in, therefore, he lodged them, and on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him,
23 Entonces metiéndolos dentro, los hospedó. Y al día siguiente, levantándose, se fué con ellos; y le acompañaron algunos de los hermanos de Joppe.
24 and on the morrow they did enter into Caesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kindred and near friends,
24 Y al otro día entraron en Cesarea. Y Cornelio los estaba esperando, habiendo llamado á sus parientes y los amigos más familiares.
25 and as it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at [his] feet, did bow before [him];
25 Y como Pedro entró, salió Cornelio á recibirle; y derribándose á sus pies, adoró.
26 and Peter raised him, saying, 'Stand up; I also myself am a man;'
26 Mas Pedro le levantó, diciendo: Levántate; yo mismo también soy hombre.
27 and talking with him he went in, and doth find many having come together.
27 Y hablando con él, entró, y halló á muchos que se habían juntado.
28 And he said unto them, 'Ye know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come unto, one of another race, but to me God did shew to call no man common or unclean;
28 Y les dijo: Vosotros sabéis que es abominable á un varón Judío juntarse ó llegarse á extranjero; mas me ha mostrado Dios que á ningún hombre llame común ó inmundo;
29 therefore also without gainsaying I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter ye did send for me?'
29 Por lo cual, llamado, he venido sin dudar. Así que pregunto: ¿por qué causa me habéis hecho venir?
30 And Cornelius said, 'Four days ago till this hour, I was fasting, and [at] the ninth hour praying in my house, and, lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
30 Entonces Cornelio dijo: Cuatro días ha que á esta hora yo estaba ayuno; y á la hora de nona estando orando en mi casa, he aquí, un varón se puso delante de mí en vestido resplandeciente.
31 and he said, Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thy kind acts were remembered before God;
31 Y dijo: Cornelio, tu oración es oída, y tus limosnas han venido en memoria en la presencia de Dios.
32 send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one doth lodge in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, shall speak to thee;
32 Envía pues á Joppe, y haz venir á un Simón, que tiene por sobrenombre Pedro; éste posa en casa de Simón, curtidor, junto á la mar; el cual venido, te hablará.
33 at once, therefore, I sent to thee; thou also didst do well, having come; now, therefore, are we all before God present to hear all things that have been commanded thee by God.'
33 Así que, luego envié á ti; y tú has hecho bien en venir. Ahora pues, todos nosotros estamos aquí en la presencia de Dios, para oir todo lo que Dios te ha mandado.
34 And Peter having opened his mouth, said, 'Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,
34 Entonces Pedro, abriendo su boca, dijo: Por verdad hallo que Dios no hace acepción de personas;
35 but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him;
35 Sino que de cualquiera nación que le teme y obra justicia, se agrada.
36 the word that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news — peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of all,)
36 Envió palabra [Dios] á los hijos de Israel, anunciando la paz por Jesucristo; éste es el Señor de todos.
37 ye — ye have known; — the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached;
37 Vosotros sabéis lo que fué divulgado por toda Judea; comenzando desde Galilea después del bautismo que Juan predicó,
38 Jesus who [is] from Nazareth — how God did anoint him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the devil, because God was with him;
38 [Cuanto] á Jesús de Nazaret; cómo le ungió Dios de Espíritu Santo y de potencia; el cual anduvo haciendo bienes, y sanando á todos los oprimidos del diablo; porque Dios era con él.
39 and we — we are witnesses of all things that he did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem, — whom they did slay, having hanged upon a tree.
39 Y nosotros somos testigos de todas las cosas que hizo en la tierra de Judea, y en Jerusalem; al cual mataron colgándole en un madero.
40 'This one God did raise up the third day, and gave him to become manifest,
40 A éste levantó Dios al tercer día, é hizo que apareciese manifiesto,
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God — to us who did eat with [him], and did drink with him, after his rising out of the dead;
41 No á todo el pueblo, sino á los testigos que Dios antes había ordenado, [es á saber], á nosotros que comimos y bebimos con él, después que resucitó de los muertos.
42 and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify fully that it is he who hath been ordained by God judge of living and dead —
42 Y nos mandó que predicásemos al pueblo, y testificásemos que él es el que Dios ha puesto por Juez de vivos y muertos.
43 to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.'
43 A éste dan testimonio todos los profetas, de que todos los que en él creyeren, recibirán perdón de pecados por su nombre.
44 While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy spirit fell upon all those hearing the word,
44 Estando aún hablando Pedro estas palabras, el Espíritu Santo cayó sobre todos los que oían el sermón.
45 and those of the circumcision believing were astonished — as many as came with Peter — because also upon the nations the gift of the Holy Spirit hath been poured out,
45 Y se espantaron los fieles que eran de la circuncisión, que habían venido con Pedro, de que también sobre los Gentiles se derramase el don del Espíritu Santo.
46 for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.
46 Porque los oían que hablaban en lenguas, y que magnificaban á Dios.
47 Then answered Peter, 'The water is any one able to forbid, that these may not be baptized, who the Holy Spirit did receive — even as also we?'
47 Entonces respondió Pedro: ¿Puede alguno impedir el agua, para que no sean bautizados éstos que han recibido el Espíritu Santo también como nosotros?
48 he commanded them also to be baptized in the name of the Lord; then they besought him to remain certain days.
48 Y les mandó bautizar en el nombre del Señor Jesús. Entonces le rogaron que se quedase por algunos días.

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.
