Acts 10:9-24 - Peter Has A Vision
9 Now on the morrow, while those men were traveling and approaching the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. 10 And he became very hungry and wanted to eat. But while those men prepared, a trance fell upon him. 11 And he sees heaven opened, and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet bound at four corners, and being lowered to the earth, 12 in which were all the four-footed things of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky. 13 And a voice came to him, After rising, Peter, kill and eat.
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord, because I have never eaten anything profane or unclean.
15 And a voice again for a second time, What God has cleansed, thou shall not make profane. 16 And this happened thrice, and again the vessel was taken up into heaven.
17 Now while Peter was bewildered in himself whatever the vision which he saw might be, that lo, the men who were sent from Cornelius, having inquired the house of Simon, stood at the gate. 18 And after calling out they asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, lodges here.
19 And while Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men seek thee. 20 But after rising, go down, and go with them, doubting nothing, because I have sent them.
21 And having gone down to the men, Peter said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek. What is the cause for which ye are here?
22 And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearing God, and being well testified by the whole nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy agent to summon thee to his house, and to hear sayings from thee. 23 So, having invited them in, he lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brothers from Joppa went with him. 24 And on the morrow they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kinsmen and close friends.
