Peter Converts Cornelius (Acts 10: 1-48)

Caesarea was a town to the North of Joppa. In this town lived a Roman Army officer, a centurion (captain) of the Italian Regiment, whose name was Cornelius.

A centurion was the principal professional officer in the armies of ancient Rome and its empire. The centurion was the commander of a “centuria”. A “centuria” was the smallest unit of a Roman legion.

Cornelius and his entire family were devout believers and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly.

One day, at about three in the afternoon, Cornelius had a vision where the angel of the Lord appeared to him and told him – his prayers and alms had ascended as a memorial before God. He was to send men to Joppa to bring a man named Simon whose surname was Peter. He was staying with a man named Simon, a tanner and his house was by the sea.
