Now there was a man named Joseph who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man.
Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon who was righteous and devout, looking for the restoration of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
He was a devout, God-fearing man, as was all his household; he did many acts of charity for the people and prayed to God regularly.
They said, “Cornelius the centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man, well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear a message from you.”
because he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and a significant number of people were brought to the Lord.
When they had accomplished everything that was written about him, they took him down from the cross and placed him in a tomb.
