So Peter went down and said to the men, "I am the man you are looking for. Why have you come?"
22
"Captain Cornelius sent us," they answered. "He is a good man who worships God and is highly respected by all the Jewish people. An angel of God told him to invite you to his house, so that he could hear what you have to say."
23
Peter invited the men in and had them spend the night there. The next day he got ready and went with them; and some of the believers from Joppa went along with him.
24
The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was waiting for him, together with relatives and close friends that he had invited.
25
As Peter was about to go in, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and bowed down before him.
26
But Peter made him rise. "Stand up," he said, "I myself am only a man."
27
Peter kept on talking to Cornelius as he went into the house, where he found many people gathered.
28
He said to them, "You yourselves know very well that a Jew is not allowed by his religion to visit or associate with Gentiles. But God has shown me that I must not consider any person ritually unclean or defiled.
29
And so when you sent for me, I came without any objection. I ask you, then, why did you send for me?"

9
He made no difference between us and them; he forgave their sins because they believed.
10
So then, why do you now want to put God to the test by laying a load on the backs of the believers which neither our ancestors nor we ourselves were able to carry?

No! We believe and are saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are."

20
At once they left their nets and went with him.
21
He went on and saw two other brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in their boat with their father Zebedee, getting their nets ready. Jesus called them,

41
At once he found his brother Simon and told him, "We have found the Messiah." (This word means "Christ.")

John 13:23-25
23
One of the disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was sitting next to Jesus.

15
After they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Lord," he answered, "you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Take care of my lambs."
16
A second time Jesus said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" "Yes, Lord," he answered, "you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Take care of my sheep."
17
A third time Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter became sad because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" and so he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you!" Jesus said to him, "Take care of my sheep.
18
I am telling you the truth: when you were young, you used to get ready and go anywhere you wanted to; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will tie you up and take you where you don't want to go."
19
(In saying this, Jesus was indicating the way in which Peter would die and bring glory to God.) Then Jesus said to him, "Follow me!"
20
Peter turned around and saw behind him that other disciple, whom Jesus loved---the one who had leaned close to Jesus at the meal and had asked, "Lord, who is going to betray you?"
21
When Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"
22
Jesus answered him, "If I want him to live until I come, what is that to you? Follow me!"
23
So a report spread among the followers of Jesus that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say he would not die; he said, "If I want him to live until I come, what is that to you?"
24
He is the disciple who spoke of these things, the one who also wrote them down; and we know that what he said is true.
1 John 1:1-5
1
We write to you about the Word of life, which has existed from the very beginning. We have heard it, and we have seen it with our eyes; yes, we have seen it, and our hands have touched it.
2
When this life became visible, we saw it; so we speak of it and tell you about the eternal life which was with the Father and was made known to us.
3
What we have seen and heard we announce to you also, so that you will join with us in the fellowship that we have with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4
We write this in order that our joy may be complete.
5
Now the message that we have heard from his Son and announce is this: God is light, and there is no darkness at all in him.
2 John 1:1-13
1
From the Elder--- To the dear Lady and to her children, whom I truly love. And I am not the only one, but all who know the truth love you,
2
because the truth remains in us and will be with us forever.
3
May God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, give us grace, mercy, and peace; may they be ours in truth and love.
4
How happy I was to find that some of your children live in the truth, just as the Father commanded us.
5
And so I ask you, dear Lady: let us all love one another. This is no new command I am writing you; it is the command which we have had from the beginning.
6
This love I speak of means that we must live in obedience to God's commands. The command, as you have all heard from the beginning, is that you must all live in love.
7
Many deceivers have gone out over the world, people who do not acknowledge that Jesus Christ came as a human being. Such a person is a deceiver and the Enemy of Christ.
8
Be on your guard, then, so that you will not lose what we have worked for, but will receive your reward in full.
9
Anyone who does not stay with the teaching of Christ, but goes beyond it, does not have God. Whoever does stay with the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
10
So then, if some come to you who do not bring this teaching, do not welcome them in your homes; do not even say, "Peace be with you."
11
For anyone who wishes them peace becomes their partner in the evil things they do.
12
I have so much to tell you, but I would rather not do it with paper and ink; instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you personally, so that we shall be completely happy.
13
The children of your dear Sister send you their greetings.
3 John 1:1-14
1
From the Elder--- To my dear Gaius, whom I truly love.
2
My dear friend, I pray that everything may go well with you and that you may be in good health---as I know you are well in spirit.
3
I was so happy when some Christians arrived and told me how faithful you are to the truth---just as you always live in the truth.
4
Nothing makes me happier than to hear that my children live in the truth.
5
My dear friend, you are so faithful in the work you do for other Christians, even when they are strangers.
6
They have spoken to the church here about your love. Please help them to continue their trip in a way that will please God.
7
For they set out on their trip in the service of Christ without accepting any help from unbelievers.
8
We Christians, then, must help these people, so that we may share in their work for the truth.
9
I wrote a short letter to the church; but Diotrephes, who likes to be their leader, will not pay any attention to what I say.
10
When I come, then, I will bring up everything he has done: the terrible things he says about us and the lies he tells! But that is not enough for him; he will not receive the Christians when they come, and even stops those who want to receive them and tries to drive them out of the church!
11
My dear friend, do not imitate what is bad, but imitate what is good. Whoever does good belongs to God; whoever does what is bad has not seen God.
12
Everyone speaks well of Demetrius; truth itself speaks well of him. And we add our testimony, and you know that what we say is true.
13
I have so much to tell you, but I do not want to do it with pen and ink.
14
I hope to see you soon, and then we will talk personally. (1:15) Peace be with you. All your friends send greetings. Greet all our friends personally.
Revelation 1:1-3
1
This book is the record of the events that Jesus Christ revealed. God gave him this revelation in order to show to his servants what must happen very soon. Christ made these things known to his servant John by sending his angel to him,
2
and John has told all that he has seen. This is his report concerning the message from God and the truth revealed by Jesus Christ.
