21. Peter went down and said to the men, “I am the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”
22. They answered, “Captain Cornelius sent us. He is a good man who worships God and is liked by the Jewish people. One of God's holy angels told Cornelius to send for you, so he could hear what you have to say.”
