And he trembling and amazed said, Lord, What wilt thou me to do? And the Lord to him, Arise, and come into the city, and it shall be spoken to thee what thou must do.

And the Lord said to him, Go: for he is a vessel of choice to me, to lift up my name before nations, and kings, and the sons of Israel:

For I will show him what he must suffer for my name.

But this project was known to Saul. And they observed narrowly the gates day, and also night, that they might kill him.

And the disciples having taken him by night, put through the wall, having let down in a wicker basket.

And Saul being present in Jerusalem, tried to join himself to the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple.

And Barnabas having taken him, brought him to the sent, and recounted to them how in the way he saw the Lord, and that he spake to him, and how in Damascus he spake freely in the name of Jesus.

And he spake and sought out with the Greeks; but they purposed to kill him.

And he was hungry, and would have eaten: and these making ready, a deep trance fell upon him,

And he sees heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as a great linen napkin fastened at the four beginnings, and laid down upon the earth:

And a voice was to him, Having risen, Peter, kill, and eat.

And a voice again of a second time to him, What things God cleansed, do not thou make common.

And Peter reflecting concerning the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee.

And Peter having come down to the men sent from Cornelius to him, said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what the cause for which ye are present?

Therefore having called them in, he received as guests. And on the morrow Peter came forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa came with him.

And it was as Peter came in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at his feet, worshipped.

And Peter raised him up, saying, Arise: I am also myself man.
