Acts 10 · Grade 3

God Shows No Favoritism

Name Date

Read the Story

Cornelius was a centurion in Caesarea. He and all his house feared God. He gave to the needy and always prayed. An angel told him to send men to Joppa to get Peter.

The next day Peter went up on a housetop to pray. He saw a sheet let down from heaven with all kinds of animals. A voice told him to eat. Peter said he had never eaten anything unclean. The voice said, "What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean." This happened three times.

Just then the men from Cornelius arrived. The Spirit told Peter to go with them. At Caesarea, Peter said God had shown him not to call any person unclean.

Peter said God does not show favoritism. He told them about Jesus. While he was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard (Acts 10:44). Peter had them baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.

Memory Verse
