The men said, “A holy angel told Cornelius to invite you to his house. Cornelius is an army officer. {\cf2\super [208]} He is a good man; he worships God. All the Jewish people respect him. The angel told Cornelius to invite you to his house so that he can listen to the things you have to say.”
The Spirit {\cf2\super [222]} told me to go with them without doubting. These six brothers (believers) here also went with me. We went to the house of Cornelius.
Peter realized then what had happened. He thought, “Now I know that the Lord really sent his angel to me. He rescued (saved) me from Herod. {\cf2\super [238]} The Jewish people thought that bad things would happen to me. But the Lord saved me from all these things.”
In the city of Joppa there was a follower \{of Jesus\} named Tabitha. (Her Greek name, Dorcas, means “a deer.”) She always did good things for people. She always gave money to people that needed it.
The followers in Joppa heard that Peter was in Lydda. (Lydda is near Joppa.) So they sent two men to Peter. They begged him, “Hurry, please come quickly!”
