"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."

"In that city was a man named Ananias, a religious man who obeyed our Law and was highly respected by all the Jews living there.

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.
