Acts 10:1, 2, 48 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. 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. | New International Version (NIV)
