← Acts 10:27	Acts 10:28 (KJV)	Acts 10:29 →
And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.	And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.	Therefore came I [unto you] without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
