Acts 10:9-24 - Peter Has A Vision
9 On the morrow, as they were on their journey, and were drawing near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. 10 And he became very hungry and wished to eat; but while they were making ready, a trance came upon him, 11 and he beheld heaven opened, and a sort of vessel descending, as it were a large sheet having cords at the four corners, and let down upon the earth; 12 wherein were all the fourfooted beasts and creeping things of the earth, and birds of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him, Arise, Peter; slay, and eat.
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common and unclean.
15 And a voice came to him again, the second time, That which God hath cleansed, call not thou common. 16 This was done three times; and the vessel was immediately taken up into heaven.
17 Now, while Peter was doubting within himself what the vision which he had seen meant, lo! the men who were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simons house, and stood before the gate; 18 and they called, and asked whether Simon, surnamed Peter, lodged there.
19 And while Peter was meditating on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men are seeking thee; 20 but arise, and go down, and go with them, without scruple; for I have sent them.
21 And Peter went down to the men and said, Behold, I am he whom ye are seeking; for what cause have ye come?
22 And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and to hear words from thee. 23 Then he called them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow he arose and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him. 24 And the morrow after, he came into Caesarea. And Cornelius was expecting them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
