Acts 10:9-24 - Peter Has A Vision
9 On the morrow as they were on their journey, and drew nigh the city, Peter went upon the leads to pray, about the sixth hour. 10 and being seiz'd with hunger, he would have had something to eat: but while they were making it ready, he fell into a trance, 11 when he saw the heaven open, and something descending in the form of a great sheet, ty'd at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12 in it were all sorts of quadrupeds, reptiles, and birds. 13 and a voice said to him, rise, Peter; kill and eat.
14 but Peter said, not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 and the voice spake to him again the second time, don't call that common, which God calls clean. 16 this was done thrice: and then the sheet was taken up into heaven.
17 While Peter was perplexed about the signification of this vision, the messengers from Cornelius having enquir'd out Simon's house, arriv'd at the gate, 18 and calling somebody, ask'd, whether Simon Peter lodg'd there.
19 As Peter was still pondering upon the vision, the spirit said to him, there are people below, who enquire for you. 20 rise therefore, get thee down, and go with them, without hesitating: for I have sent them.
21 then Peter went down to the messengers; and said, I am the person you look for: what occasion brought you hither?
22 they answered, Cornelius the centurion, a man of probity and piety, one that has an universal good character among the Jews, was divinely admonish'd by an holy angel to send for you to his house, to hear what you had to say to him. 23 then he invited them in, and they lodged there. On the morrow, Peter departed with them, and some of his brethren from Joppa accompanied him. 24 the next day they arriv'd at Cesarea: where Cornelius expected them, having invited his kinsmen and intimate friends, to his house.
