17. And while Kĕpha was doubting within himself about what the vision might mean, look, the men who had been sent from Cornelius, having asked for the house of Shim‛on, stood at the gate,
18. and calling out, they enquired whether Shim‛on, also known as Kĕpha, was staying there.
19. And as Kĕpha was thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “See, three men seek you.
20. “But rise up, go down and go with them, not doubting at all, for I have sent them.”
21. So Kĕpha went down to the men who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, “Look, I am the one you seek. Why have you come?”
22. And they said, “Cornelius the captain, a righteous man and one who fears Elohim and well spoken of by the entire nation of the Yehuḏim, was instructed by a set-apart messenger to send for you to his house, and to hear words from you.”
23. So inviting them in, he housed them. And on the next day Kĕpha went away with them, and some brothers from Yapho went with him.
24. And the following day they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and close friends.
25. And it came to be, that when Kĕpha entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and bowed before him.
26. But Kĕpha raised him up, saying, “Stand up, I myself am also a man.”
27. And talking with him, he went in and found many who had come together.
28. And he said to them, “You know that a Yehuḏite man is not allowed to associate with, or go to one of another race. But Elohim has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
29. “That is why I came without hesitation when I was sent for. So I ask, why have you sent for me?”
