²⁹ “That is why I came without hesitation when I was sent for. So I ask, why have you sent for me?”

³⁰ And Cornelius said, “Four days ago I was fasting until this hour. And at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and see, a man stood before me in shining garments,

³¹ and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your kind deeds were remembered before Elohim.

³² ‘Now send to Yapho and call Shimʽ

³³ “So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. And now, we are all present before Elohim, to hear all that you have been commanded by Elohim.”

⁴⁸ And he commanded them to be immersed in the Name of יהושע  Messiah. Then they asked him to remain a few days.
