Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Acts 9
⁴² It became known all over Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
⁴³ And Peter stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
Acts 10
¹ Now there was a man at Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian cohort,
² a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, and gave many alms to the Jewish people and prayed to God continually.
³ About the ninth hour of the day he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God who had just come in and said to him, "Cornelius!"
⁴ And fixing his gaze on him and being much alarmed, he said, "What is it, Lord?" And he said to him, "Your prayers and alms have ascended as a memorial before God.
⁵ Now dispatch some men to Joppa and send for a man named Simon, who is also called Peter;
⁶ he is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the sea."
⁷ When the angel who was speaking to him had left, he summoned two of his servants and a devout soldier of those who were his personal attendants,
⁸ and after he had explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
⁹ On the next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour to pray.
