Acts 10 retells how Cornelius, a devout Roman centurion, and Peter, an apostle, receive visions that lead to their meeting in Caesarea. Peter proclaims the gospel, the Holy Spirit falls on Gentile listeners, and they are baptized, signaling the end of former barriers between Jews and Gentiles.

The episode emphasizes the central message that God shows no partiality, the fulfillment of Old Testament promises in Christ, and the formation of a new, universal people of God called to prayer, unity, and witness to the nations.
