Chapter 10, Verses 1-8
At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. One day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God, who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked.
The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God. Now send men to Joppa to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter. He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier who was one of his attendants. He told them everything that had happened and sent them to Joppa.

The left half represents Cornelius in Caesarea hearing the voice that speaks to him in Acts 10:5, "send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter." When Peter comes to Caesarea, "Cornelius came to meet him, and falling at his feet adored" (v. 25), as represented in the right half of the window.

Chapter 10, Verses 9-16
About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”
“Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”
The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.

Chapter 10, Verses 17-48
While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Simon, three men are looking for you. So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.”The next day Peter started out with them, and some of the believers from Joppa went along. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence. But Peter made him get up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”
Peter said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean. So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?”
Cornelius answered: “We are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.”
Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts FROM EVERY NATION the one who fears him and does what is right. You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. You know how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
“We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross, but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen. He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead. ALL THE PROPHETS TESTIFY ABOUT HIM THAT EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM RECEIVES FORGIVENESS OF SINS THROUGH HIS NAME.”
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God.
Then Peter said, “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.

So THAT’S when the AYCE BUFFET was invented!..................
Which required the invention of the steam table................
Oh, the Romans already had that!
Wealthy Roman villas had heated pools!...................
Good Morning, Dan! :-)
Favorites, #2,3,4,29 and the wonderful #32 which incorporates the three messengers inquiring about Peter’s whereabouts. Finally, all the stained glass windows!!!!!
I really like 35 and 37. The bewildered look on the faces of Peter and his disciples as they go into the den of Roman power. To God be the Glory.
Mary-Lou. Put away your umbrella so the Lord can shower many blessings upon you!
As far as I can see, the disciples’ obdurate refusal to understand the Gentiles’ inclusion in God’s universal salvation economy was due to normal human dullness and parochialism—which made them thick indeed.
Rather, don’t bother with your umbrella: those showers are God’s many blessings for you!
You know, we’re still awaiting an actual photo of this alleged pitbull. We’ve seen the Harley....
Two nice pitbulls.
Nice? :-)
Neither has bitten me.
These fensters strike me as unusually beautiful—really exceptional.
LOL
