Acts 10 Summary

Cornelius and the Gentile Pentecost

The centurion Cornelius has a vision; Peter has a vision of clean and unclean animals: do not call unclean what God has made clean. Peter goes to Cornelius and preaches. While he is still speaking the Holy Spirit falls on the Gentiles. The Jewish believers are astonished. Peter: can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people?
