사도행전 10

1가이사랴에 고넬료라 하는 사람이 있으니 이달리야대라 하는 군대의 백부장이라 2그가 경건하여 온 집으로 더불어 하나님을 경외하며 백성을 많이 구제하고 하나님께 항상 기도하더니 3하루는 제 구 시쯤 되어 환상 중에 밝히 보매 하나님의 사자가 들어와 가로되 고넬료야 하니 4고넬료가 주목하여 보고 두려워 가로되 주여 무슨 일이니이까 천사가 가로되 네 기도와 구제가 하나님 앞에 상달하여 기억하신 바가 되었으니 5네가 지금 사람들을 욥바에 보내어 베드로라 하는 시몬을 청하라 6저는 피장 시몬의 집에 우거하니 그 집은 해변에 있느니라 하더라 7마침 말하던 천사가 떠나매 고넬료가 집안 하인 둘과 종졸 가운데 경건한 사람 하나를 불러 8이 일을 다 고하고 욥바로 보내니라 9이튿날 저희가 행하여 성에 가까이 갔을 그 때에 베드로가 기도하려고 지붕에 올라가니 시간은 제 육 시더라 10시장하여 먹고자 하매 사람이 준비할 때에 비몽사몽간에 11하늘이 열리며 한 그릇이 내려 오는 것을 보니 큰 보자기 같고 네 귀를 매어 땅에 드리웠더라 12그 안에는 땅에 있는 각색 네 발 가진 짐승과 기는 것과 공중에 나는 것들이 있는데 13또 소리가 있으되 베드로야 일어나 잡아 먹으라 하거늘 14베드로가 가로되 주여 그럴 수 없나이다 속되고 깨끗지 아니한 물건을 내가 언제든지 먹지 아니하였삽나이다 한대 15또 두번째 소리 있으되 하나님께서 깨끗케 하신 것을 네가 속되다 하지 말라 하더라 16이런 일이 세 번 있은 후 그 그릇이 곧 하늘로 올리워 가니라 17베드로가 본 바 환상이 무슨 뜻인지 속으로 의심하더니 마침 고넬료의 보낸 사람들이 시몬의 집을 찾아 문 밖에 서서 18불러 묻되 베드로라 하는 시몬이 여기 우거하느냐 하거늘 19베드로가 그 환상에 대하여 생각할 때에 성령께서 저더러 말씀하시되 두 사람이 너를 찾으니 20일어나 내려가 의심치 말고 함께 가라 내가 저희를 보내었느니라 하시니 21베드로가 내려가 그 사람들을 보고 가로되 내가 곧 너희의 찾는 사람이니 너희가 무슨 일로 왔느냐 22저희가 대답하되 백부장 고넬료는 의인이요 하나님을 경외하는 자라 유대 온 족속이 칭찬하더니 저가 거룩한 천사의 지시를 받아 너를 그 집으로 청하여 말을 들으려 하느니라 한대 23베드로가 불러 들여 유숙하게 하니라 이튿날 일어나 저희와 함께 갈새 욥바 두어 형제도 함께 가니라 24이튿날 가이사랴에 들어가니 고넬료가 일가와 가까운 친구들을 모아 기다리더니 25마침 베드로가 들어올 때에 고넬료가 맞아 발 앞에 엎드리어 절하니 26베드로가 일으켜 가로되 일어서라 나도 사람이라 하고 27더불어 말하며 들어가 여러 사람의 모인 것을 보고 28이르되 유대인으로서 이방인을 교제하는 것과 가까이 하는 것이 위법인 줄은 너희도 알거니와 하나님께서 내게 지시하사 아무도 속되다 하거나 깨끗지 않다 하지 말라 하시기로 29부름을 사양치 아니하고 왔노라 묻노니 무슨 일로 나를 불렀느뇨 30고넬료가 가로되 나흘 전 이맘 때까지 내 집에서 제 구 시 기도를 하는데 홀연히 한 사람이 빛난 옷을 입고 내 앞에 서서 31말하되 고넬료야 하나님이 네 기도를 들으시고 네 구제를 기억하셨으니 32사람을 욥바에 보내어 베드로라 하는 시몬을 청하라 저가 바닷가 피장 시몬의 집에 우거하느니라 하시기로 33내가 곧 당신에게 사람을 보내었더니 오셨으니 잘하였나이다 이제 우리는 주께서 당신에게 명하신 모든 것을 듣고자 하여 다 하나님 앞에 있나이다 34베드로가 입을 열어 가로되 내가 참으로 하나님은 사람의 외모를 취하지 아니하시고 35각 나라 중 하나님을 경외하며 의를 행하는 사람은 하나님이 받으시는 줄 깨달았도다 36만유의 주 되신 예수 그리스도로 말미암아 화평의 복음을 전하사 이스라엘 자손들에게 보내신 말씀 37곧 요한이 그 침례를 반포한 후에 갈릴리에서 시작되어 온 유대에 두루 전파된 그것을 너희도 알거니와 38하나님이 나사렛 예수에게 성령과 능력을 기름붓듯 하셨으매 저가 두루 다니시며 착한 일을 행하시고 마귀에게 눌린 모든 자를 고치셨으니 이는 하나님이 함께 하셨음이라 39우리는 유대인의 땅과 예루살렘에서 그의 행하신 모든 일에 증인이라 그를 저희가 나무에 달아 죽였으나 40하나님이 사흘만에 다시 살리사 나타내시되 41모든 백성에게 하신 것이 아니요 오직 미리 택하신 증인 곧 죽은 자 가운데서 일어나신 후 모시고 음식을 먹은 우리에게 하신 것이라 42우리를 명하사 백성에게 전도하되 하나님이 산 자와 죽은 자의 재판장으로 정하신 자가 곧 이 사람인 것을 증거하게 하셨고 43저에 대하여 모든 선지자도 증거하되 저를 믿는 사람들이 다 그 이름을 힘입어 죄 사함을 받는다 하였느니라 44베드로가 이 말 할 때에 성령이 말씀 듣는 모든 사람에게 내려 오시니 45베드로와 함께 온 할례 받은 신자들이 이방인들에게도 성령 부어주심을 인하여 놀라니 46이는 방언을 말하며 하나님 높임을 들음이러라 47이에 베드로가 가로되 이 사람들이 우리와 같이 성령을 받았으니 누가 능히 물로 침례 줌을 금하리요 하고 48명하여 예수 그리스도의 이름으로 침례를 주라 하니라 저희가 베드로에게 수일 더 유하기를 청하니라

1Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment, 2a 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. 3At 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!” 4He, 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. 5Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter. 6He lodges with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside. 7When 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. 8Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa. 9Now 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. 10He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance. 11He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth, 12in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky. 13A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!” 14But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.” 15A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.” 16This was done three times, and immediately the vessel was received up into heaven. 17Now 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, 18and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there. 19While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you. 20But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.” 21Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?” 22They 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.” 23So he called them in and lodged them. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him. 24On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends. 25When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him. 26But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.” 27As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together. 28He 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. 29Therefore also I came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?” 30Cornelius 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, 31and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God. 32Send therefore to Joppa, and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He lodges in the house of Simon a tanner, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’ 33Therefore 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.” 34Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism; 35but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him. 36The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all— 37you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; 38even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him 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. 39We 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. 40God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed, 41not 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. 42He 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. 43All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.” 44While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word. 45They 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. 46For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered, 47“Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.” 48He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.

1En er was een zeker man te Cesarea, met name Cornelius, een hoofdman over honderd, uit de bende, genaamd de Italiaanse; 2Godzalig en vrezende God, met geheel zijn huis, en doende vele aalmoezen aan het volk, en God geduriglijk biddende. 3Deze zag in een gezicht klaarlijk, omtrent de negende ure des daags, een engel Gods tot hem inkomen, en tot hem zeggende: Cornelius! 4En hij, de ogen op hem houdende, en zeer bevreesd geworden zijnde, zeide: Wat is het Heere? En hij zeide tot hem: Uw gebeden en uw aalmoezen zijn tot gedachtenis opgekomen voor God. 5En nu, zend mannen naar Joppe, en ontbied Simon, die toegenaamd wordt Petrus. 6Deze ligt te huis bij een Simon, lederbereider, die zijn huis heeft bij de zee; deze zal u zeggen, wat gij doen moet. 7En als de engel, die tot Cornelius sprak, weggegaan was, riep hij twee van zijn huisknechten, en een godzaligen krijgsknecht van degenen, die gedurig bij hem waren; 8En als hij hun alles verhaald had, zond hij hen naar Joppe. 9En des anderen daags, terwijl deze reisden, en nabij de stad kwamen, klom Petrus op het dak, om te bidden, omtrent de zesde ure. 10En hij werd hongerig, en begeerde te eten. En terwijl zij het bereidden, viel over hem een vertrekking van zinnen. 11En hij zag den hemel geopend, en een zeker vat tot hem nederdalen, gelijk een groot linnen laken, aan de vier hoeken gebonden, en nedergelaten op de aarde; 12In hetwelk waren al de viervoetige dieren der aarde, en de wilde, en de kruipende dieren, en de vogelen des hemels. 13En er geschiedde een stem tot hem: Sta op, Petrus! slacht en eet. 14Maar Petrus zeide: Geenszins, Heere! want ik heb nooit gegeten iets, dat gemeen of onrein was. 15En een stem geschiedde wederom ten tweeden male tot hem: Hetgeen God gereinigd heeft, zult gij niet gemeen maken. 16En dit geschiedde tot drie maal; en het vat werd wederom opgenomen in den hemel. 17En alzo Petrus in zichzelven twijfelde, wat toch het gezicht mocht zijn, dat hij gezien had, ziet, de mannen, die van Cornelius afgezonden waren, gevraagd hebbende naar het huis van Simon, stonden aan de poort. 18En iemand geroepen hebbende, vraagden zij, of Simon, toegenaamd Petrus, daar te huis lag. 19En als Petrus over dat gezicht dacht, zeide de Geest tot hem: Zie, drie mannen zoeken u; 20Daarom sta op, en ga af, en reis met hen, niet twijfelende; want ik heb hen gezonden. 21En Petrus ging af tot de mannen die van Cornelius tot hem gezonden waren, en zeide: Ziet, ik ben het, dien gij zoekt; wat is de oorzaak, waarom gij hier zijt? 22En zij zeiden: Cornelius, een hoofdman over honderd, een rechtvaardig man, en vrezende God, en die goede getuigenis heeft van het ganse volk der Joden, is door Goddelijke openbaring vermaand van een heiligen engel, dat hij u zou ontbieden te zijnen huize, en dat hij van u woorden der zaligheid zou horen. 23Als hij hen dan ingeroepen had, ontving hij ze in huis. Doch des anderen daags ging Petrus met hen heen, en sommigen der broederen, die van Joppe waren, gingen met hem. 24En des anderen daags kwamen zij te Cesarea. En Cornelius verwachtte hen, samengeroepen hebbende die van zijn maagschap en bijzonderste vrienden. 25En als het geschiedde, dat Petrus inkwam, ging hem Cornelius tegemoet, en vallende aan zijn voeten, aanbad hij. 26Maar Petrus richtte hem op, zeggende: Sta op, ik ben ook zelf een mens. 27En met hem sprekende, ging hij in, en vond er velen, die samengekomen waren. 28En hij zeide tot hen: Gij weet, hoe het een Joodsen man ongeoorloofd is, zich te voegen of te gaan tot een vreemde; doch God heeft mij getoond, dat ik geen mens zou gemeen of onrein heten. 29Daarom ben ik ook zonder tegenspreken gekomen, ontboden zijnde. Zo vraag ik dan, om wat reden gijlieden mij hebt ontboden. 30En Cornelius zeide: Over vier dagen was ik vastende tot deze ure toe, en ter negende ure bad ik in mijn huis. 31En ziet, een man stond voor mij, in een blinkend kleed, en zeide: Cornelius! uw gebed is verhoord, en uw aalmoezen zijn voor God gedacht geworden. 32Zend dan naar Joppe, en ontbied Simon, die toegenaamd wordt Petrus; deze ligt te huis in het huis van Simon, den lederbereider, aan de zee, welke, hier gekomen zijnde, tot u spreken zal. 33Zo heb ik dan van stonde aan tot u gezonden, en gij hebt welgedaan, dat gij hier gekomen zijt. Wij zijn dan allen nu hier tegenwoordig voor God, om te horen al hetgeen u van God bevolen is. 34En Petrus, den mond opendoende, zeide: Ik verneem in der waarheid, dat God geen aannemer des persoons is; 35Maar in allen volke, die Hem vreest en gerechtigheid werkt, is Hem aangenaam. 36Dit is het woord, dat Hij gezonden heeft den kinderen Israels, verkondigende vrede door Jezus Christus; deze is een Heere van allen. 37Gijlieden weet de zaak, die geschied is door geheel Judea, beginnende van Galilea, na den doop, welken Johannes gepredikt heeft; 38Belangende Jezus van Nazareth, hoe Hem God gezalfd heeft met den Heiligen Geest en met kracht; Welke het land doorgegaan is, goeddoende, en genezende allen, die van den duivel overweldigd waren; want God was met Hem. 39En wij zijn getuigen van al hetgeen Hij gedaan heeft, beide in het Joodse land en te Jeruzalem; Welken zij gedood hebben, Hem hangende aan het hout. 40Dezen heeft God opgewekt ten derden dage, en gegeven, dat Hij openbaar zou worden; 41Niet al den volke, maar den getuigen, die van God te voren verkoren waren, ons namelijk, die met Hem gegeten en gedronken hebben, nadat Hij uit de doden opgestaan was. 42En heeft ons geboden den volke te prediken, en te betuigen, dat Hij is Degene, Die van God verordend is tot een Rechter van levenden en doden. 43Dezen geven getuigenis al de profeten, dat een iegelijk, die in Hem gelooft, vergeving der zonden ontvangen zal door Zijn Naam. 44Als Petrus nog deze woorden sprak, viel de Heilige Geest op allen, die het Woord hoorden. 45En de gelovigen, die uit de besnijdenis waren, zovelen als met Petrus gekomen waren, ontzetten zich, dat de gave des Heiligen Geestes ook op de heidenen uitgestort werd. 46Want zij hoorden hen spreken met vreemde talen, en God groot maken. Toen antwoordde Petrus: 47Kan ook iemand het water weren, dat dezen niet gedoopt zouden worden, welke den Heiligen Geest ontvangen hebben, gelijk als ook wij? 48En hij beval, dat zij zouden gedoopt worden in den Naam des Heeren. Toen baden zij hem, dat hij enige dagen bij hen wilde blijven.
